Regirock, much like its legendary titan counterparts in Pokemon GO, is a formidable defensive powerhouse. Despite its colossal defense stat, it cannot be stationed in a gym. On the upside, Regirock possesses both a Rock-type fast move and a charge move, providing it a significant edge over most Rock-type Pokemon in the GO universe.

However, it's worth mentioning that opting for Golem or Tyranitar is generally a more effective choice.

Recommended PvE moveset for Registeel

• Rock Throw + Stone Edge

What is Regirock's best PvP moveset in Pokemon GO?

Regirock boasts impressive defense but is hampered by its type of weakness and struggles to match Registeel's resistance in the Great League. In the Ultra League, the legendary offers solid bulk but has mixed matchups. It excels as a Rock-type attacker with coverage against Steel-types.

In the Master League, Regirock is a versatile choice with broad coverage, but it's vulnerable to Kyogre and Groudon. To offset this issue, players can pair it with Palkia or Zarude.

Despite competition from other Pokemon, Regirock stands out with its consistent performance against Ho-Oh, Lugia, and Togekiss. However, it lacks strong fast move pressure and may have trouble finishing off opponents efficiently.

Recommended PvP movesets for Registeel

• Lock-On + Stone Edge + Focus Blast
• Lock-On + Zap Cannon + Focus Blast

What are the best counters to beat Regirock in Pokemon GO?

Regirock, being a Rock-type Pokemon, is weak to Grass, Water, Ground, Steel, and Fighting-type attacks. Given the critter's defensive capabilities, it's recommended to utilize STAB moves for added damage. Regirock's move options include Lock-on, Rock Throw, Rock Smash, Zap Cannon, Focus Blast, Earthquake, and Stone Edge, so plan your team accordingly.

Considering its legendary status, trainers should aim for high CP and IV counters, even including other legendary or mythical Pokemon when possible. If you seek effective counters that can deal significant damage to this resilient critter, consider these options:

• Primal Groudon
• Primal Kyogre
• Shadow Metagross
• Mega Swampert
• Mega Sceptile
• Mega Blaziken
• Terrakion
• Kartana
• Mega Blastoise
• Shadow Machamp
• Shadow Garchomp
• Groudon
• Metagross
• Mega Gallade
• Shadow Mamoswine
• Shadow Swampert
• Mega Venusaur
• Shaymin
• Kaldeo
• Shadow Hariyama
• Shadow Feraligatr
• Shadow Torterra
• Mega Gyarados
• Kyogre
• Shadow Golurk
• Shadow Tangrowth
• Shadow Venusaur
• Conkeldurr
• Shadow Sceptile

Aside from the aforementioned Pokemon, as long as trainers employ high CP and IV creatures that can exploit Rock-type weaknesses, defeating Regirock shouldn't pose a significant challenge. Despite its impressive defensive capabilities, even this robust Pokemon can't endure sustained high levels of damage.
