Pokémon GO Registeel Raid Guide
Regirock will participate in five-star Pokémon GO raids starting Saturday at 6 a.m. and continuing through Sunday at 22 p.m. all local time. During those hours, you can challenge him locally or remotely, so be sure to connect with your friends to see who might have one available. You have to communicate because to defeat him you will need friends. Most players will need a team of at least 4 coaches to defeat Registeel, and that is if you have a team of powered counters (see below). So try to participate in the Legendary Raid with at least 6 or more if you don't want to risk it.
When it comes to those meters and the weather to watch out for, Registeel is obviously a Steel-type Pokémon. This therefore means that it is weak against Fighting, Fire, and Ground-type Pokémon. However, it will be boosted if it snows, so be careful of that. This means you will get a higher CP version to catch, at 100% IV, Registeel will be encountered with 1398 CP while a perfect weather optimized version will have 1748 CP instead.
Registeel's movement consists of steel, combat, or normal attacks. For his fast attack, he has either Metal Claw or Rock Smash, and the charged attack can be Flash Cannon, Focus Blast, or Hyper Beam. None of these should be too much of a concern for your scoring team. However, if you get knocked out too quickly, you may need to switch to a more defensive group to pass without burning a bunch of raises. So now that you understand the mechanics of battle, let's dive into the best counters against Registeel in Pokémon GO.
The best Registeel counters
Below is a table with the best counters most players will have at their disposal when taking on Registeel in Pokémon GO. However, there are better options, they are simply extremely rare. If you are looking to use a mega Pokemon in battle, Mega Charizard Y with Fire Spin and Blast Burn is your best bet, although the X version is almost as good.
Beyond that, there is the Shadow Pokémon. Most will have Frustration as a charged attack, which will make them useless in the raid. However, if you've removed Frustration, they're viable and even better than your regular characters if the CP is even close. The best to use are Shadow Moltres with Fire Spin and Overheat, Shadow Entei with Fire Fang and Overheat, Shadow Machamp with Counter and Dynamic Punch, or Shadow Charizard with Fire Spin and Blast Burn. But since most don't have them, you'll want to browse the table below to find the best counters against Registeel in Pokémon GO.
And that's our Registeel raid guide with all the best Registeel counters in Pokémon GO.
