A new season titled Timeless Travel has begun in Pokémon GO. This Hisui-focused season begins with an Ice, Steel, and Dragon-focused December 2023. This month, we have the return of the Unova Dragons to Tier Five Raids, Steel- and Ice-type Megas, and special Raid Day events featuring Hisuian Pokémon. Today's raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down Regigigas in Tier Five Raids. Let's get into it.
Top Regigigas Counters
Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Regigigas counters as such:
- Mega Rayquaza: Dragon Tail, Dragon Ascent
- Terrakion: Double Kick, Sacred Sword
- Keldeo: Low Kick, Sacred Sword
- Shadow Machamp: Counter, Dynamic Punch
- Mega Blaziken: Counter, Focus Blast
- Shadow Hariyama: Counter, Dynamic Punch
- Mega Alakazam: Counter, Focus Blast
- Conkeldurr: Counter, Dynamic Punch
- Lucario: Counter, Aura Sphere
- Virizion: Double Kick, Sacred Sword
It is recommended to power up your counters as much as possible, but creating that amount of strong Shadow Pokémon with their moves unlocked is a tall order for even the most practiced players. Here are ten additional non-Shadow and non-Mega counters that can help take down Regigigas with efficiency.
- Cobalion: Double Kick, Sacred Sword
- Machamp: Counter, Dynamic Punch
- Breloom: Counder, Dynamic Punch
- Buzzwole: Counter, Superpower
- Hariyama: Counter, Dynamic Punch
- Galarian Zapdos: Counter, Close Combat
- Hawlucha: Low Kick, Flying Press
- Pheromosa: Low Kick, Close Combat
- Toxicroak: Counter, Dynamic Punch
- Togekiss: Fighting-type Hidden Power, Aura Sphere
How Many Trainers Are Needed?
Regigigas can be defeated with three trainers, but if you cannot guarantee the top counters with maxed-out CP and the best moves, your best bet is to make sure you have four or more players. Using the Circle Lock Technique to guarantee Great or Excellent throws, along with Golden Razz Berries, is the best way to catch Pokémon. If you get a Shiny, though, it is a guaranteed catch, so be sure to use a Pinap Berry.
Shiny Odds & 100% IVs
The Shiny rate for Legendary Pokémon is approximately one in 20. When looking for a Pokémon with the best stats, the 100% IV Regigigas will have a CP of 2483 in normal weather conditions and 3104 in boosted conditions.
