Best Mega Evolutions

Difficulty

Its low HP but high damage output makes dodging and shield management critical, especially in smaller raid groups. Large groups can overpower it quickly, but solo or duo raids require precise counter selection.

Best Team Composition

A strong Regieleki raid team should include:

• 3–4 Ground-type attackers for maximum DPS
• Optional Mega or Primal Pokémon for increased damage
• Backup high-DPS counters to ensure fast raid completion

Using Mega Garchomp or Primal Groudon significantly reduces the number of trainers needed.

How Many Trainers Are Needed?

• 2 trainers: Possible with top Ground-type counters and Mega support
• 3 trainers: Comfortable win
• 4+ trainers: Very easy clear

Recommended Team Setups

Best Team (3–5 Trainers)

• Mega Garchomp — Mud Shot & Earth Power
• Shadow Groudon — Mud Shot & Precipice Blades
• Shadow Rhyperior — Mud-Slap & Earthquake
• Excadrill — Mud-Slap & Scorching Sands

Balanced / Accessible Team

• Mamoswine — Mud-Slap & High Horsepower
• Landorus (Therian) — Mud Shot & High Horsepower
• Golurk — Mud-Slap & Earth Power
• Swampert — Mud Shot & Earthquake

Even if you don’t have all top Nightmare counters, a mix of Ground types with good movesets will defeat Regieleki reliably.

Is Regieleki Worth Raiding?

Regieleki is valuable for Pokédex completion and adds a powerful Electric-type attacker for PvP and raids. Its weakness to Ground makes it manageable with the right counters.

Rewards

• Chance to catch Regieleki (with boosted IVs)
• Rare Candy & XL Candy

Conclusion

Regieleki’s pure Electric typing gives it a **very clear weakness to Ground attacks**. Focusing your raid team around powerful Ground-type Pokémon with strong moves like Precipice Blades or Earth Power will ensure efficient victories and easy access to catch attempts. Team up with fellow trainers and take advantage of Sunny weather for the best results.
