Next up on the raid rotation, we have Regigigas. This big guy will be around for the next nine days, leading us right into the New Year. And who better? Regigigas is one of the toughest Pokémon in Pokémon Go. There is a reason Regigigas is said to have hauled full continents with ropes.
During Regigigas’ rotation, its shiny rate will be boosted to approximately 1 in 20. If you use your free raid tickets to doRegigigas raids, you have about 50% of a chance to get a shiny before New Year’s comes along. Here are his normal and shiny forms:
Typing and CP Ranges
Regigigas is aNormal-type legendary Pokémon, and so it has only one weakness –Fighting-type Pokémon. Furthermore, Regigigas is weather boosted byPartly Cloudyweather.
So far it seems like he has the following CP Ranges:
Party and Weather Bonuses
Regigigas is one of the more challenging legendaries to raid for in Pokémon Go with his substantial health pool, defense, and general lack of weaknesses. Youcantrio this, but your party would all need to have fully optimal teams withBest Friendbonuses andCloudyweather. You will need to have some decently leveled counters as well – aroundlevel 40.
For the sake of getting through it quickly and with the least number of hiccups, we recommend bringing a team of at least 8 players – more, if you and your friends are at a lower level. If your team is filled with advanced Trainers, then you will not notice the absence of one or two of those members if anything goes awry.
Either way, we highly recommend you come to these raids ready with highly powered up counters. Take special care to power up yourShadowPokémon, too, as their damage buffs are incredibly valuable in this fight.
Recommended Teams
There are plenty of Pokémon that can learnFighting-type moves in the game. We recommend bringing any of the following Pokémon for your best chance at success:
Legendaries
If you were lucky enough to pick upTerrakionduring the raids in November, then you will be off to a solid start when it comes to putting your teams together. If you do not have aTerrakion, no fear. you’re able to still beatRegigigaswithout it, and any of the Pokémon listed above will do decently.
Now get out there, Trainers!
