Registeel is arguably the Regi with the best shiny form, which is why so many Pokemon GO players may be chomping at the bit to participate in Registeel Raids. To make your battling endeavors a breeze, here are the best counters for Registeel in Pokemon GO.
Registeel Weakness & Type Effectiveness
As the name suggests, Registeel is a pure Steel-type Pokemon, which means players don’t have to worry about the inner workings of dual-type effectiveness. Being a Steel-type, players should bring Fire-type Pokemon with strong Fire, Ground, or Fighting-type moves.
| Pokemon | Type | Vulnerable To | Strong Against | Resistant To |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Registeel | Steel | Fighting Ground Fire | Normal Ice Rock Dark Steel Fairy | Normal Grass Ice Flying Psychic Bug Rock Dragon Steel Fairy |
Registeel only knows Normal, Steel, and Fighting-type moves, all of which aren’t super effective against the types that Registeel is vulnerable to. We suggest Fire-type Pokemon as they resist Steel-type moves, but Fighting or Ground-type Pokemon also work in a pinch.
Best Registeel Counters in Pokemon GO
As previously mentioned, you can’t go wrong with a Fire-type Pokemon when taking on Registeel Raids. That’s why the majority of our list of the top 10 Registeel counters consists of Fire-type Pokemon or Pokemon with strong Fire-type attacks.
| Pokemon | |
|---|---|
 Primal Groudon/ Groudon (Shadow) | Mud Shot Precipice Blades |
 Mega Blaziken/ Blaziken (Shadow) | Counter Blast Burn |
 Mega Charizard Y/ Charizard (Shadow) | Fire Spin Blast Burn |
 Moltres (Shadow) | Fire Spin Overheat |
 Reshiram | Fire Fang Fusion Flare |
 Ho-Oh (Shadow) | Incinerate Sacred Flare |
 Mega Heracross | Counter Close Combat |
 Mega Garchomp | Mud Shot Earth Power |
 Excadrill (Shadow) | Mud-Slap Scorching Sand |
 Entei (Shadow) | Fire Fang Overheat |
While Registeel isn’t super challenging, it can be a bit tanky. That’s why we recommend at least three to four trainers team up during these raids as long as all of your Pokemon are above 3,500 CP and aren’t vulnerable to any of Registeel’s attacks.
