Is the raid hour with Regirock, Regice, and Registeel worth it?
Is the Regi Trio available as Shiny? Yes, Regirock, Regice, and Registeel can all be found in their shiny forms with some luck.
How strong will Regirock, Regice, and Registeel be? Both Regirock and Regice, as well as Registeel are strong, especially in defense. This makes them strong candidates in the GO Battle League.
Registeel can be particularly impressive in the Super and Hyper League. In contrast, Regice and Regirock are better suited for the Hyper or Master League (via pvpoke.com). In raids, you should prefer other candidates that are stronger and belong to the best attackers in Pokémon GO.
Is the raid hour worth it? If you are looking for a strong Pokémon for PvP battles, you should definitely take this opportunity. This raid hour is also great for collecting candy. Additionally, shiny hunters will be fully satisfied today, as all three monsters are available in their shiny forms.
