How to take advantage of Registeel's weaknesses in Pokemon GO
All things considered, the best way to prepare for any Pokemon battle is to understand an opponent's weaknesses prior to the fight. In addition, it's crucial to know which types of Pokemon are most effective against an enemy.
Registeel is a Steel-type Pokemon, which means it's especially susceptible to Fire, Fighting, and Ground-type attacks used against it in battle. This Legendary raid boss is a difficult opponent to counter because it has a tremendous amount of resistances in the mobile game.
As a pure Steel-type, Registeel is resistant to the following types of Pocket Monsters in Pokemon GO:
- Poison
- Bug
- Dragon
- Fairy
- Flying
- Grass
- Ice
- Normal
- Psychic
- Rock
- Steel
Between all those built-in resistances and Registeel's 285 Defense stat, there are only a select-few Pokemon that will be able to counter the raid boss effectively.
The following are the best counters to use against Registeel in Pokemon GO:
Chandelure: As a dual Ghost/Fire-type, Chandelure is not affected by any of Registeel's resistances and will deal super-effective damage against the raid boss. The fast move Fire Spin paired with the charged move Overheat is the best moveset for this scenario.
Darmanitan: One of the strongest pure Fire-types in Pokemon GO, Darmanitan will easily exploit one of the Legendary raid boss' weaknesses. A Darmanitan equipped with the moves Fire Fang and Overheat is Registeel's worst nightmare.
Lucario: Being both a Steel and Fighting-type makes this Pocket Monster an excellent choice to use in this five-star raid. While Registeel is resitant to Steel-type attacks, that won't affect Lucario's usefulness as long as the mon knows the Fighting-type attacks, Counter and Aura Sphere.
Groudon: This Legendary Ground-type Pokemon will easily go toe-to-toe against the Steel-type raid boss. Groudon has solid stats all around: sporting a 270 Attack, 205 Stamina, and 228 Defense. The best move combination for Groudon to use in this battle is Mud Shot and Earthquake.
Taking more than one of the Pocket Monsters listed above is crucial in securing a trainer victory. The battle is also much more likely to end in one's favor if a player enters the raid alongside a few of their friends.
