Pokémon GO: Regieleki 5-Star Raid Guide (Weaknesses & Best Counters)

screenrant.com:

A powerful electrically-themed Legendary from Generation 8, Regieleki makes for a tough 5-Star Raid boss in , in which assembling a specific type of counters to target its weaknesses is essential. Added all the way back in April 2023, the Proton Pokémon hadn't made a return to the game since; until now, anyway.

Among a bunch of important Pocket Monsters in Max Out Finale event, Regieleki is just one of the tough-to-beat contenders in November 2024's Raid Boss schedule. With a particularly high Attack stat, you'll be quickly taken out if you go in with the right team. If you head in with a correctly adjusted team, you'll be able to add another strong Legendary to your Pokédex.

As a pure Electric-type Pokémon, Regieleki's only weakness in is Ground-type attacks. This is similar to its vulnerabilities in the mainline games, but super-effective attacks in do 160% damage. Only having one weakness may sound restrictive for casual players who may not have many Ground-types in their arsenal, but there are plenty of counters evolved from even common Pokémon that make putting a decent team together fairly easy.

You'll need a Raid party of at least three players to beat Regieleki. However, five players would be a safer bet.

Using any Ground-type counter with the same manner of attack also adds a 20% STAB (same-type attack bonus), making it ideal to beat the boss within the Raid's time limit. As for which Pokémon not to use, Regieleki is resistant to Electric-, Steel-, and Flying-type attacks. Each of these moves only deals 63% of normal damage, leaving you open to having the clock run out quickly and making you fail the Raid altogether.

Against Regieleki in its latest 5-Star Raid in, the best counters are strong Ground-types with decent attacks of the same types in its moveset, including Landorus, Mamoswine, and Excadrill. If you've beaten the Dynamax Drilbur Max Battle, this is the perfect time to evolve your new Drilbur and make use of its higher stats as an Excadrill.
