Here is how to take on Regirock in Pokémon GO.
Regirock is back in Pokémon GO Raids ahead of GO Fest Global, appearing on Monday and Friday. Regirock has previously been a well ranked Ultra League option, so this can be a great time to grab yourself some good Regirock (and candy!) ready for PvP. During this time, it will also come with a special move, Earthquake.
As a Raid Attacker, Regirock isn't anything to write home about sadly. However, because it is so useful in Ultra League we still suggest heading out to grab a few if you can.
Here is everything you need to know before you battle Regirock in Pokémon GO.
Best Regirock counters in Pokémon GO:
Regirock has a weakness to Fighting, Grass, Ground, Steel and Water-types. It has a resistance to Fire, Flying, Norma and Poison-type attacks.
That gives is some very powerful Pokémon to choose from when we want to build a team to face Regirock in Pokémon GO.
Here are the best Regirock counters:
Crowned Sword Zacian Metal Claw & Behemoth Blade | Crowned Shield Zamazenta Metal Claw & Behemoth Bash | Dusk Mane Necrozma Metal Claw & Sunsteel Strike | Primal Groudon Mud Shot & Precipice Blades | Mega Lucario Force Palm & Aura Sphere | Primal Kyogre Waterfall & Origin Pulse | Mega Garchomp Mud Shot & Earth Power | Therian Landorus Mud Shot & Sandsear Storm | Groudon Mud Shot & Precipice Blades | Dawn Wings Necrozma Metal Claw & Moongeist Beam | Terrakion Double Kick & Scared Sword | Metagross Bullet Punch & Meteor Mash | Hisuian Decidueye Magical Leaf & Aura Sphere | Kartana Razor Leaf & Leaf Blade | Kyogre Waterfall & Origin Pulse |
There are some really strong Regirock counters available in Pokémon GO. Some of the best Mega Pokémon you can use have either been in Raids recently, or are common Pokémon that (pre-evolution versions) often spawn in the wild.
Some of the best non-mega evolved options are super powerful Pokémon introduced recently. That includes Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta. Only Trainers who attended an in-person Pokémon GO Fest event will have these at the moment.
Or, Dusk Mane Necrozma which first appeared at last years Pokémon GO Fest.
Otherwise, options like Groudon, Terrakion, Metagross and Kyogre are all also good choices. They have all been in the game recently.

What is the Regirock Pokémon GO 100% IV hundo CP?
While a 100% IV Regirock actually isn't helpful for PvP, it is still a good flex to have a hundo of any legendary in Pokémon GO.
Here are the hundo CP values to keep an eye out for after your Raid:
- 1784 CP
- 2230 CP
Weather Effects:
Weather boost can help you save candy, get better IVs and benefit from power boosts on your team. Here are the weather effects to keep an eye on when taking on these raids.
Weather | Pro | Con |
|---|---|---|
| Sunny | Your Grass and Ground-type Pokémon will be boosted. | - |
| Windy | - | - |
| Partly Cloudy | Regirock will be a higher CP when caught. | Regirock's Rock-type moves will be boosted. |
| Cloudy | Your Fighting-type Pokémon will be boosted. | Regirock's Fighting-type moves will be boosted. |
| Snow | Your Steel-type Pokémon will be boosted. | - |
| Rainy | Your Water-type Pokémon will be boosted. | Regirock's Zap Cannon will be boosted. |
| Fog | - | - |
Sunny weather is a good bet if you want to take down Regirock quickly. However, for Trainers chasing a higher CP Regirock, keep your eyes out for Partly Cloudy weather. That will yield you a Weather Boosted Regirock. However, Regirock will have stronger Rock-type attacks.
