The last of the original Regi trio is finally entering the Pokemon GO 5-star Raid rotation following Registeel and Regice, and here are the best counters for Regirock in Pokemon GO.
Regirock Weakness & Type Effectiveness
Since Regirock is a mono Rock-type, it has a plethora of weaknesses, including Fighting, Ground, Steel, Water, and Grass-type moves.
| Pokemon | Type | Vulnerable To | Move Types | Resistant To |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Regirock | Rock | Fighting Ground Steel Water Grass | Fighting Rock Electric Normal | Normal Fire Poison Fire |
Since Regirock can bring an Electric-type move to battle, you may want to stay away from Water-type Pokemon. However, it’s only a 1/3 chance, so it’s not the end of the world if you prioritize a Kyogre or other strong Water-types instead of other heavy-hitting Pokemon.
Regirock may seem sturdy, but it’s actually quite the pushover. Even without any of the recommended types, Regirock won’t put up too much of a fight.
Best Regirock Counters in Pokemon GO
Again, we recommend bringing Fighting or Stee-type Pokemon as they resist a lot of Regirock’s attacks and have STAB for moves that are super effective against Regirock. Here are the top 10 Regirock counters for Pokemon GO raids:
| Pokemon | Moves |
|---|---|
 Groudon | Mud Shot Precipice Blades |
 Kyogre | Waterfall Origin Pulse |
 Metagross | Bullet Punch Meteor Mash |
 Mega Garchomp | Mud Shot Earth Power |
 Mega Sceptile | Bullet Seed Frenzy Plant |
 Excadrill | Mud-Slap Scorching Sands |
 Terrakion | Double Kick Sacred Sword |
 Kartana | Razor Leaf Leaf Blade |
 Machamp | Karate Chop Dynamic Punch |
 Empoleon | Metal Claw Hydro Cannon |
If trainers use the Pokemon listed above, and each Pokemon is above 3,500 CP, Regirock should only require a team of about three to four trainers. However, depending on your Pokemon’s stats, you may want to take a full squad of trainers just to be safe.
