Regirock Raid Guide For Pokémon GO: World Of Wonders

Use these top counters to defeat Regirock as this Legendary Titan of Hoenn returns to Tier Five Raids for a short stint as the Raid Boss.

The March, April, and May season of Pokémon GO, titled World of Wonders, continues. With the new slate of Raids announced for May, we now know how this season will close out. We will see Tapu Fini and Regirock return to Tier Five Raids, followed by the release of Ultra Beasts Blacephalon and Stakataka through Ultra Wormholes. In addition to that, we will see some older Megs return while Shadow Suicune gets its chance to shine in Shadow Raids during the weekend. Today's raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down the Legendary Titan of Hoenn, the Rock-type Regirock, who will have a stint as the Tier Five Raid Boss. Let's get into it.

Top Regirock Counters

Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Regirock counters as such:

• Primal Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
• Primal Kyogre: Waterfall, Origin Pulse
• Shadow Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
• Shadow Metagross: Bullet Punch, Meteor Mash
• Mega Swampert: Water Gun, Hydro Cannon
• Shadow Kyogre: Waterfall, Origin Pulse
• Mega Garchomp: Mud Shot, Earth Power
• Mega Sceptile: Bullet Seed, Frenzy Plant
• Mega Heracross: Counter, Close Combat
• Mega Blaziken: Counter, Focus Blast

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 Regirock with efficiency.

• Terrakion: Double Kick, Sacred Sword
• Kartana: Razor Leaf, Leaf Blade
• Therian Forme Landorus: Mud Shot, Sandsear Storm
• Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
• Metagross: Bullet Punch, Meteor Mash
• Keldeo: Low Kick, Sacred Sword
• Sky Forme Shaymin: Magical Leaf, Grass Knot
• Kyogre: Waterfall, Origin Pulse
• Conkeldurr: Counter, Dynamic Punch
• Excadrill: Metal Claw, Scorching Sands

How Many Trainers Are Needed?

Regirock can be defeated with three trainers, but it is going to be tight. If you cannot guarantee the top counters with maxed-out CP and the best moves, your best bet is to make sure you have five 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 Regirock will have a CP of 1784 in normal weather conditions and 2230 in boosted conditions.
