As expected, there’s a lot of Fire type counters in there. But what about if you want to use Shadow or Mega Pokémon? Obviously any of the above with the same moveset will do very well. Also you can try Shadow Machamp with Karate Chop and Dynamic Punch and/or Shadow Charizard with Fire Spin and Blast Burn.
And if you want to use a Mega evolution we suggest Mega Charizard Y with Fire Spin and Blast Burn above all others. Once you defeat Regice you might get a special surprise.
Can Regice be Shiny in June 2021
Yes, Shiny Regice is available in June 2021 so try to get through as many raids as you are willing to spend resources on if you’re a shiny collector. This may be the last chance you have for a while, so use those passes and revive all your fallen counters.

Just like for Regice Mega Charizard Y is your best choice for a Mega evolved counter. There are also Shadow versions of the above, so if you have them with the right moveset then be sure to use them. Along with this list you can toss in Shadow Entei with Fire Fang and Overheat, Shadow Machamp with Counter and Dynamic Punch, and Shadow Charizard again with Fire Spin and Blast Burn. But why use these counters against a Pokémon you’ve likely beaten and caught before?
