The Regi Trio Regirock, Regice, and Registeel are back in Pokémon GO. We will show you the best counters and tell you how many players you need.
How long has the Regi Trio been around? The 3 legendary Pokémon are now only available for one weekend. On November 4th, the Regis will disappear from the raids and make way for Cobalion.
Until then, you can find all 3 Regis in the raids at the same time. They will also be featured in the live event that takes place this Saturday.
All the information about the Regi Trio – Counters, Shinies, Player counts
What about Shinies? All 3 raid bosses will also be available as Shinies in Pokémon GO. This is the first time you can find the Regi Trio as Shinies.
The chance for a Shiny is always 1 in 19 for legendary Pokémon. So you need to raid a lot if you want all the Shinies.
This is what has changed in terms of strength: The Regi Trio has significantly weaker stats according to initial reports from players than initially assumed. You will therefore need fewer players to defeat it.
The best counters against Regirock
Which Pokémon are effective? Regirock is a Rock type, which means it has weaknesses to Fighting, Ground, Water, Grass, and Steel. So you can bring a wide team. The best counters are:
- Metagross with Bullet Punch and Meteor Mash
- Kapilz with Counter and Drain Punch
- Stalobor with Metal Claw and Drill Run
- Dialga with Metal Claw and Iron Head
- Machomei with Counter and Drain Punch
- Kyogre with Cascad and Hydro Pump
How many players do you need? With the right weather (snow or cloudy), you can defeat Regirock with just three players. Without a weather bonus, however, we recommend 4-5 players to take down Regirock.
The best counters against Regice
Which Pokémon are effective? Regice is an Ice type, which is therefore vulnerable to Fire, Rock, Fighting, and Steel types. The best counters are therefore:
- Skelabra with Fire Spin and Overheat
- Metagross with Bullet Punch and Meteor Mash
- Lavados with Fire Spin and Overheat
- Lohgock with Counter and Blaze Kick
- Machomei with Counter and Drain Punch
- Dialga with Metal Claw and Iron Head
How many players do you need? With the right weather (sunny, snow, or cloudy), you can defeat Regice with three players. Otherwise, we also recommend 4-5 players here.
The best counters against Registeel
Which Pokémon are effective? Registeel is a Steel type, so Pokémon of the types Fire, Fighting, and Ground are effective. The best counters include:
- Skelabra with Fire Spin and Overheat
- Lavados with Fire Spin and Overheat
- Lohgock with Counter and Blaze Kick
- Machomei with Counter and Drain Punch
- Entei with Fire Fang and Overheat
- Kapilz with Counter and Drain Punch
How many players do you need? Registeel is the easiest of the 3 Regis to defeat. You only need 3 players, regardless of the weather. Players even report being able to manage it with pairs, due to the reduced CP in the raid.
