DEXERTOPokemon Go players can once again tackle the Legendary Regieleki as it returns to 5-Star Raid battles for an event celebrating all Regis. 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 have two key appearances, one of which includes all the other Titans: Regirock, Registeel, Regice, Regidrago, and Regigigas.
So, you’d 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 |
| 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 |
| Swampert |  | Mud Shot & 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 every trainer to use.
If you don’t have any of the creatures mentioned, go with their alternative or regular versions, or just use your best Ground-type attackers to target Regieleki’s weakness. Remember that they should be properly leveled up and know the matching movesets.
How to get Regieleki in Pokemon Go
This powerful Titan doesn’t spawn in the wild or hatch from Eggs, so the only way players can get Regieleki in Pokemon Go is through 5-Star Raid battles. This means trainers will have to challenge and defeat it to attempt a catch with the Premier Balls given after the battle.
Regieleki will take the spotlight as a Raid boss on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, as part of the Ancients Recovered event. Then, it will join the rest of the Regis for one final bow on Friday, June 27, 2025.
During its appearances, Regieleki will know the Charged Move: Thunder Cage.
NIANTICKeep in mind that defeating Regieleki won’t be easy, as Legendary Raid Bosses are some of the most difficult opponents you’ll face in the game. Plus, a 100% catch rate is not guaranteed, so be prepared for the case that it might run away.
Remember to use Golden Razz Berries and land Excellent throws and Curve Balls to increase your chances of catching it.
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 |
| Max CP (Level 50) | 3169 |
Regieleki stats & moves
As a pure Electric-type Pokemon, Regieleki has the following stats:
| ATTACK | DEFENSE | STAMINA | CP |
|---|---|---|---|
| 250 | 125 | 190 | 3169 |
Fast Moves
- Thunder Shock (Electric/STAB)
- Volt Switch (Electric/STAB)
- Lock-On (Normal)
Charged Moves
- Hyper Beam (Normal)
- Thunder (Electric/STAB)
- Zap Cannon (Electric/STAB)
Can Regieleki be Shiny?
Yes, Regieleki can be Shiny in Pokemon Go, as this special variation debuted at the start of the Max Out Finale event on November 27, 2024.
NIANTIC/DEXERTOUnfortunately 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.
