Pokemon Go Regidrago counters, weaknesses & Shiny availability
NianticRegidrago is making a return to Pokemon Go in Elite Raids, so here are all its weaknesses and the best counters to help you effectively defeat it in battle.

Now, two months after the Makeup event, Regidrago is back, bringing powerful attacks, and a rather tricky battle between July 25 at 10am local time to August 4 at 8pm local time.
This is the only way players can get hold of a Regidrago, so it’s important to be prepared! To help you defeat (and catch) this Legendary Pokemon, we’ve put together a Raid guide featuring Regidrago’s weaknesses and counters.

NianticRegidrago weaknesses in Pokemon Go
Regidrago is a Dragon-type Pokemon which means it’s weak against Dragon, Fairy, and Ice-type attacks. These three types are all equally effective, so you’ve got quite a few Pokemon to choose from.
On the other hand, you’ll want to avoid using Electric, Fire, Grass, and Water-type attacks as Regidrago is resistant to those and they won’t deal much damage.

How to catch Regidrago in Pokemon Go
Regidrago will appear in Elite Raids on Tuesday, July 25, at 10am and will leave on Friday, August 4 at 8pm. This will be the only way to encounter Regidrago during the current season, so you’ll want to give it a try sooner rather than later.
As this is an Elite Raid Battle, it’s going to be a lot more challenging than the Raid Battles you’re used to taking part in. Teaming up with at least eight other trainers should give you a good chance of winning.
NianticIf you manage to defeat Regidrago, you’ll be given a limited amount of Premier Balls to throw. Using Golden Razz Berries and landing Excellent Curveball Throws will increase your chances of catching it.
On a final note, remember that you can’t use Remote Raid Passes to take part in Elite Raids. This means you’ll need to go out and take them on in person, so a busy town or city is probably your best option.
Can Regidrago be Shiny in Pokemon Go?
The short and simple answer is that Shiny Regidrago is not currently available in Pokemon Go.
It’s very rare for a new Pokemon to debut alongside its Shiny variant, especially when it’s a Legendary Pokemon. This means you’ll just have to wait for Shiny Regidrago to arrive during a future event.
