Here is how to take on Regirock in Pokémon GO.

Regirock is back in Pokémon GO Raids ahead of GO Fest Global, appearing on Monday and Friday.Regirock has previously been a well ranked Ultra League option, so this can be a great time to grab yourself some good Regirock (and candy!) ready for PvP. During this time, it will also come with a special move, Earthquake.

As a Raid Attacker, Regirock isn’t anything to write home about sadly. However, because it is so useful in Ultra League we still suggest heading out to grab a few if you can.

Here are the best Regirock counters:

There are some really strong Regirock counters available in Pokémon GO. Some of the best Mega Pokémon you can use have either been in Raids recently, or are common Pokémon that (pre-evolution versions) often spawn in the wild.

Some of the best non-mega evolved options are super powerful Pokémon introduced recently. That includes Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta. Only Trainers who attended an in-person Pokémon GO Fest event will have these at the moment.

Or, Dusk Mane Necrozma which first appeared at last years Pokémon GO Fest.

Otherwise, options like Groudon, Terrakion, Metagross and Kyogre are all also good choices. They have all been in the game recently.

How many trainers do I need to beat Regirock in Pokémon GO?

You’ll need at leastthreeTrainers (ideally with Party Power) to take down Regirock. For trainers who are lower level or don’t have insane counters, aiming for about five trainers as a minimum is a good bet.

What is the Regirock Pokémon GO 100% IV hundo CP?

While a 100% IV Regirock actually isn’t helpful for PvP, it is still a good flex to have a hundo of any legendary in Pokémon GO.

Here are the hundo CP values to keep an eye out for after your Raid:

Weather Effects:

Weather boost can help you save candy, get better IVs and benefit from power boosts on your team. Here are the weather effects to keep an eye on when taking on these raids.

Sunny weather is a good bet if you want to take down Regirock quickly. However, for Trainers chasing a higher CP Regirock, keep your eyes out for Partly Cloudy weather. That will yield you a Weather Boosted Regirock. However, Regirock will have stronger Rock-type attacks.
