Difficulty

Small groups need careful shield management, while larger groups can focus purely on DPS. Its high HP and heavy damage output make it a challenging raid even for veteran trainers.

Best Counters for Regigigas

Because Regigigas is only weak to **Fighting-type attacks**, your best strategy is to use **high DPS Fighting counters**.

Best Team Composition

A strong Regigigas raid team should include:

• 3–4 Fighting-type attackers for maximum DPS
• Optional Mega Lucario or Blaziken to boost team damage
• Backup high-DPS Fighting Pokémon for consistency

Using Mega Lucario can reduce the number of trainers needed and increase DPS dramatically.

How Many Trainers Are Needed?

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

Is Regigigas Worth Raiding?

Regigigas is a tanky Normal-type raid boss. It is valuable for completing the Legendary collection and for collectors, though it has limited PvP usefulness due to its typing.

Can Regigigas Be Shiny in Pokémon GO?

Yes, trainers have a chance to encounter a Shiny Regigigas after defeating it in a Legendary Raid. Shiny Regigigas has a darker green pattern on its body compared to the regular version, making it highly sought after by collectors.

Note that the shiny rate in Legendary Raids is relatively low, so repeated raids increase your chances of encountering a shiny.

Conclusion

Regigigas’s pure Normal typing gives it a very narrow weakness — Fighting — so bringing powerful Fighting counters is the key to winning raids. Prioritize high DPS and Fast Charging Fighting Pokémon, coordinate with a few trainers, and take advantage of Cloudy weather to boost your team’s effectiveness. With the right setup, you’ll defeat Regigigas and enjoy your catch, including the chance for a shiny.

Summary

• Focus on high-level Fighting Pokémon to exploit its sole weakness.
• Avoid neutral or ineffective types to maximize damage output.
• Use charged moves strategically in small groups; in large groups, overwhelm with raw DPS.
• Be patient during the first phase—Regigigas’ power ramps up over time.
