Strategies for Catching Regidrago in Pokémon GO

Defeating Regidrago can be achieved with a surprisingly small team due to its low defense stat of 101. While experienced trainers using optimal counters can take it down with just a duo, it is advisable to assemble a group of 4-5 Pokémon GO trainers for a more manageable raid experience, especially if you’re not fully equipped with top-tier counters.

The base catch rate for Regidrago stands at a low 2%. To enhance your chances, utilize Golden Razz Berries, which significantly boost your catch success. Additionally, aim for Excellent curveball throws to maximize your probability of capture. The potential CP you can expect for a successful catch is:

Normal: 1,614 – 1,699 CP
Weather Boosted: 2,017 – 2,124 CP

For optimal conditions, try to raid during windy weather, as this will not only enhance Regidrago’s CP but also amplify the damage output of your Dragon-type counters.
