Registeel initially appeared in Pokemon GO raids quite a while ago, but is finally back thanks to the Battle League prep raiding event. That means that there are a lot of new Pokemon, evolutions, and move sets available now and the strategy for the Raid has changed quite a bit. For players who still have an older roster saved, we thought it would be a good idea to post an update with the current best counters available.

The Battle League prep raiding event began this morning and will run from March 10, 2020, at 8:00 a.m. to Thursday, March 12, 2020, at 10:00 p.m. local time

Steel-types can be very powerful and Registeel should actually be a great Pokemon in the upcoming metagame, which makes this boss’ arrival even more exciting. Fire- and Fighting-types are going to be the way to go for this fight, so hopefully many players already have many of these counters powered up and ready to go. When Pokemon GO players are ready to head into battle against the creature, this is the team we recommend assembling:

Strongest

Chandelure - Fire spin and Overheat

Heatran - Fire Spin and Flamethrower

Lucario - Counter and Aura Sphere

Strong

 

Volcarona - Fire Spin and Overheat

Moltres - Fire Spin and Overheat

Entei - Fire Fang and Overheat

Blaziken - Fire Spin and Blast Burn

Alternatives

 

Garchomp - Mud Shot and Earthquake

Machamp - Counter and Dynamic Punch

Breloom - Counter and Dynamic Punch

Exadrill - Mud Slap and Earthquake

A few members of this roster are a little on the rare side, but most Pokemon GO raiders should be able to come up six strong options for this particular fight. Remember that the moveset is very important, so don’t hesitate to blow through some TMs getting the better combo together before this fight.

As always, don’t forget that if you only have six strong options, you can use revives after your first party faints and bring them back into the fight, rather than settling for the B-team.

Pokemon GO is currently available in select regions on Android and iOS devices.
