Pokemon Go Regieleki Raid guide: Weaknesses & best counters

Pokemon Go players can once again tackle the Legendary Regieleki as it returns to 5-Star Raid battles to debut its Shiny variation. Here are its weaknesses and the best counters to take it down.

Legendary hunters will be thrilled to find out that the Galar region’s Regieleki is appearing in Pokemon Go Raids all over again, giving them another chance to grab the game’s tricky – yet powerful – creature.

But that’s not all as Regieleki will use the Max Out Finale event to debut its long-awaited Shiny variation. So, you better make sure you’re properly prepared for battle in case you come across one.

Regieleki weaknesses in Pokemon Go

Regieleki is a pure Electric-type Pokemon which means it’s only weak against Ground-type attacks. Because of that, those challenging this Legendary must bring their strongest Ground-type Pokemon with matching movesets.

On the other hand, Regieleki is resistant to Electric, Flying, and Steel-type attacks, so you’ll want to avoid those where possible as their attacks won’t deal much damage.

Regieleki best counters

Here are some of the best counters to use against Regieleki in Niantic’s mobile game:

POKEMON	SPRITE	BEST MOVESET
Primal Groudon		Mud Shot & Precipice Blades
Mega Garchomp		Mud Shot & Earth Power
Mega Swampert		Mud Shot & Earthquake
Shadow Rhyperior		Mud-Slap & Earthquake
Shadow Excadrill		Mud-Slap & Scorching Sands
Landorus Therian Forme		Mud Shot & High Horsepower
Mamoswine		Mud-Slap & High Horsepower
Golurk		Mud-Slap & Earth Power
Rhydon		Mud-Slap & Earthquake
Golem		Mud-Slap & Earthquake

We’ve included a mix of Megas, Legendaries, Shadow, and more common Pokemon in the table above so there should be something for trainers of all levels.

Don’t worry if you don’t have any of these counters – simply focus on your most powerful Ground-type Pokemon and make sure that they are leveled up and have matching Ground-type movesets.

How to get Regieleki in Pokemon Go

The only way to catch Regieleki and fill out your Pokedex is to first defeat one in a 5-Star Raid Battle. Luckily, the Legendary Titan will be back as a 5-Star Raid boss from November 27, 2024, until December 3, 2024, so you’ll have plenty of time to challenge it.

During this time, Regieleki will be accompanied by fellow Titan Regidrago and both Galar mascots Zacian and Zamazenta. More so, the four of them will appear on the Raid Hour happening on November 27, 2024, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM local time.

Keep in mind that defeating Regieleki won’t be easy, as these Raid Bosses are some of the most difficult opponents you’ll face in the game. But once you do, you’ll get a limited amount of Premier Balls to attempt to catch it, although it’s not guaranteed that you’ll be successful so be prepared for the case that it might run away.

Remember that you can improve your chances by using Golden Razz Berries. Do your best to land Excellent Curveball Throws as well, because these have a higher success rate than regular throws.

Regieleki CP in Pokemon Go

As with every Raid Boss in the game, the CP Regieleki has during a Raid battle won’t be the same once you manage to catch it after defeating it. Plus, certain types of weather can increase such CP.

Raid Boss CP	38,402
CP range once captured	1524 – 1602
Rainy weather CP range	1905 – 2002
Regieleki max CP (Level 50)	3169

Can Regieleki be Shiny?

Yes, Regieleki can now be Shiny in Pokemon Go, as this special variation will debut as soon as the Legendary re-appears as a Raid Boss during the Max Out Finale event on November 27, 2024.

Unfortunately for Shiny hunters, Shiny Regieleki is quite disappointing, as the only difference between it and its regular form is that the rings around its waist and arms change from blue to white. This also makes spotting one very hard, so pay close attention to every Regieleki you challenge.

Remember that the odds of finding a Shiny Pokemon in general are very low and there’s no technique to ensure you’ll find one. All you can do is take on as many 5-Star Raids as you can and hope for the best.
