Regice Raid in Pokemon Go
Regice will appear in five-star raids starting today, January 24, until February 1. These raids can be occasionally be found at gyms, but your best bet to ensure you capture a Regice is to wait until January 26. On that day, between 6:00-7:00 p.m. local time, there will be a Pokemon Go Raid Hour event boosting all chances to face Regice in a raid.
