Regirock Raid Guide – Counters, Strategies & FAQs

Weaknesses & resistances

Category	Details
Weak to	Fighting • Ground • Steel • Water • Grass
Resists to	Normal • Flying • Poison • Fire

Notes Trainers should focus on Pokémon that maximize type advantage, like Machamp, Rhyperior, or Conkeldurr for Fighting, and Garchomp or Swampert for Ground. Using only Rock or Normal-type attackers will result in a slow and frustrating battle.

• 3–4 Fighting-type attackers for maximum DPS
• 1–2 Ground-type attackers for coverage and double weakness exploitation

• Optional Mega or Primal Pokémon to boost damage

Mega Pokémon like Mega Blaziken or Mega Lucario can reduce the number of trainers needed for a fast clear.

• 2 trainers: Possible with top Fighting/Ground counters and Mega support

With good counters and weather boosts (e.g., Cloudy for Fighting, Rainy for Water), 3–5 high-level trainers can often take down Regirock, but 4+ will make it much more comfortable.
