Pokemon Go Regirock Raid raid counters and best moves to use

These Pokemon Go Regirock Counters will be helpful when the stone boy comes to raids in Pokemon Go. Starting at 10am local time on Tuesday, February 1st, Regirock will replace Regice in five-star Raids. Trainers will have until 10:00 am on Wednesday, February 9th to catch and battle as many Regirocks as possible.

Trainers will definitely want to participate in five-star Raids as often as possible because there will be a chance to catch a Shiny Regirock. Remember, instructors can only receive one free Raid Pass per day by visiting a Raid. Premium Raid Passes can be purchased for 100 PokeCoins each in the in-game store that allows trainers to engage in Raid battles. Remote Raid Passes are also available for 100 PokeCoins, each of which allows trainers to enter a Raid from anywhere. There are three Remote Raid Pass deals for 250 PokeCoins.

Now that you know how to find Regirock in Raids, here’s a handy guide on how to defeat him as quickly as possible.

Regirock Raid Counters

Regirock is a pure Rock-type Pokemon that weakens it against Grass, Water, Earth, Steel, and Martial-type moves. Rock types are a strong offensive type, but defensively it’s a different story and there are plenty of options for taking on Regirock in Pokemon Go.

Mega Pokemon can be superior to Regirock. Trainers looking to bring aquatic species into battle will want to consider the Mega Blastoise or Gyarados. Both deal massive damage and can empower your team’s Water-type moves.

Mega Venusaur is the best Grass type option as it deals a lot of damage very quickly. Mega Lopunny is ideal for trainers who want to use a Fighting type suit.

The new Steel type Mega is great for those who want to bring a range of Steel types against Mega Steelix, Regirock. Depending on the type of team you intend to bring, any of these Megas will be successful.

Regirock Motionset

Being legendary, Regirock has access to a number of different attacks. His Quick Attacks consist of Rock Throw, Rock Smash, and Lock On. Unlock doesn’t deal super-effective damage against your team, but quickly builds up energy for Regirock, resulting in more Charged Attacks being used.

Rock Throw is Regirock’s main STAB move, but is resisted by all the Steel and Fighting types you bring into battle. Rock Smash is a Martial type move that will cause problems for Steel types. Both Rock Throw and Rock Smash deal super-effective damage against Ice types, so Mega Abomasnow, whose Grass moves will deal super-effective damage against Regirock, probably won’t take long enough to take effect.

As for Regirock’s Charged Attacks, Stone Edge and Focus Blast are Rock and Fighting type attacks respectively and can cause Steel type problems.

Regirock’s final Charged Attack is the Zap Cannon, an Electric-type move. This can cause problems for Water types that come into battle against it, as they will be hit super effectively. It’s best for instructors to pay attention to the suggested page when first entering a Raid. The game will give advice on which Pokemon to use in battle, and trainers will be able to discover which moves Regirock will make this way. If it recommends water types, Regirock probably won’t have the Zap Cannon.
