Regidrago is a powerful Legendary Pokémon in Pokémon GO that can be difficult to defeat without the right team. As a pure Dragon-type Pokémon, it has access to strong attacks and a massive amount of HP, making preparation important before entering a battle. However, knowing its weaknesses and choosing the right counters can make the encounter much easier.
Whether you are challenging Regidrago in a regular five-star raid or taking on its Dynamax form in a Max Battle, the key is to use Pokémon that can deal super-effective damage while surviving its attacks. Here is everything you need to know to beat Regidrago in Pokémon GO.
Regidrago’s Weaknesses in Pokémon GO
Regidrago is a pure Dragon-type Pokémon. This means it has three major weaknesses that you should take advantage of during battle:
- Fairy-type attacks: Deal super-effective damage and are a reliable choice against Dragon-type opponents.
- Ice-type attacks: Another excellent option, especially when using powerful Ice-type attackers.
- Dragon-type attacks: Can deal heavy damage, although using Dragon Pokémon comes with some risk because Regidrago can also use Dragon-type moves.
You should avoid relying on Electric, Fire, Grass, and Water-type attacks. Regidrago resists all four of these types, making them poor choices for this encounter.
Best Pokémon to Use Against Regidrago
Choosing the right counters is one of the most important parts of defeating Regidrago. Some Pokémon can deal significantly more damage than others, especially when they have the correct fast and charged attacks.
Here are some of the strongest options to consider:
- Eternatus: Use Dragon Tail and Dynamax Cannon. It is one of the strongest Dragon-type attackers available and an excellent choice for dealing heavy damage.
- Mega Rayquaza: Dragon Tail and Breaking Swipe make this Pokémon an outstanding counter in regular raids.
- Black Kyurem: Dragon Tail and Freeze Shock provide powerful damage against Regidrago.
- Mega Garchomp: Dragon Tail and Breaking Swipe make it another strong Dragon-type attacker.
- Mega Gardevoir: Charm and Dazzling Gleam provide reliable Fairy-type damage while avoiding the risks associated with Dragon-type counters.
- White Kyurem: Dragon Breath and Ice Burn make it a useful option for exploiting Regidrago’s weaknesses.
If you do not have these Legendary or Mega Pokémon, focus on building a team with strong Fairy- and Ice-type attackers. Pokémon with high CP and suitable moves can still contribute significantly.
How to Beat Regidrago in a Regular Raid
For a standard Regidrago raid, start by assembling a team of six powerful Pokémon. Ideally, use a combination of Dragon, Fairy, and Ice-type attackers rather than depending on a single Pokémon.
Follow these tips to improve your chances:
- Build a balanced team: Include powerful attackers with super-effective moves. Fairy and Ice Pokémon are particularly useful if Regidrago has Dragon-type attacks.
- Watch its charged attacks: Regidrago can use moves such as Outrage, Dragon Pulse, Breaking Swipe, Hyper Beam, and Dragon Energy. Dodging charged attacks can help your Pokémon survive longer.
- Use Mega Evolutions: Mega Rayquaza, Mega Garchomp, and Mega Gardevoir can provide excellent damage. Mega Evolution can also boost compatible attacks used by other players.
- Revive and rejoin: If your entire team faints, revive your Pokémon and return to battle before the raid timer expires.
- Coordinate with other Trainers: Strong counters make smaller groups possible, but additional players can make the encounter considerably easier.
