Ultimate Guide to Regieleki Raids in Pokemon Go: Weaknesses and Top Counters

Exciting news for Pokémon Go enthusiasts: the elusive Regieleki makes its return to 5-Star Raids, and for the first time, players can encounter its shiny variant. Prepare yourself to face this formidable Legendary creature, and familiarize yourself with its weaknesses and top counters to secure a victory.

This opportunity is especially thrilling for trainers from the Galar region, as Regieleki has proven to be a challenging yet powerful Pokémon. Moreover, its shiny variant is set to debut during the Max Out Finale event, pushing players to be battle-ready at all times.

Understanding Regieleki’s Weaknesses

However, aspiring Shiny hunters may find the new form underwhelming, as the key difference lies in the color of the circular patterns around its waist and arms, changing from blue to white. As such, spotting a Shiny Regieleki during battles could be quite challenging, so pay close attention.

While the chances of encountering a Shiny Pokémon are generally low, there is no guaranteed method to secure one. The best approach is to participate in as many 5-Star Raids as possible and hope for a stroke of luck.
