Best Regirock Counters For Pokemon GO Raids: Weaknesses & Type Effectiveness

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.
