Regieleki, along with Regidrago, was a new addition to the Regi-trio in the Pokemon world. Debuting in Sword/Shield's Crown Tundra DLC, this Electron Pokemon has stepped into the world of Pokemon GO. As a Legendary Pokemon, Regieleki appears as a 5-star Raid Pokemon. Because of its high CP and 5-star rating in GO, you'll want to bring your best Pokemon that can counter Regieleki's Electric-typing. You should also not attempt this Raid Boss alone. Battle in a group, and you'll have a higher chance of winning the catch encounter with Regieleki post-raid.

Pokemon GO: Regieleki Weaknesses & Resistances
Regieleki is an Electric-type Pokemon, meaning it has a weakness to Ground-type moves. You'll want to avoid hitting Regieleki with Electric, Flying, or Steel-type moves, as it has a resistance to these three types. Regieleki's Electric-type moves gain a boost during Rainy weather. Finally, Regieleki appears in 5-star Raids with a CP of 38402, making it quite challenging to beat even with a party of five players.

Regieleki's Fast Move and Charge Move can be any of the following:
|
Fast Move |
Charge Move |
|---|---|
|
Lock-On |
Hyper Beam |
|
Thunder Shock |
Thunder |
|
Volt Switch |
Zap Cannon |
|

* Thunder Cage |
* Legacy Move
Lock-On and Hyper Beam are Normal-type moves, but Hyper Beam is quite powerful, and when paired with Lock-On, Regieleki can charge it very quickly. You can bring a Ghost-type to lower the damage taken from Regieleki's potential Hyper Beam attack, but it's recommended you use Pokemon that can target Regieleki's weaknesses instead.
Pokemon GO: Best Regieleki Raid Counters
Since Regieleki only has one weakness, Ground-type, you'll want to assemble your party with Ground-type Pokemon. You can get away with having a high CP-Pokemon that has a move like Earthquake as their Charge Move, but it's recommended you use purely Ground-type or Ground dual-types (ex: Water/Ground-type).
Here are some counters for Regieleki raids:
|
Pokemon |
Charge Move |
|---|---|
|
Primal Groudon |
|
|
Mega Garchomp |
Earth Power |
|
Therian Landorus |
Sandsear Storm |
|
Rhyperior |
Earthquake |
|
Rhydon |
Earthquake |
|
Mamoswine |
High Horsepower |
|
Mega Swampert |
Earthquake |
|
Garchomp |
Earth Power |
|
Excadrill |
Scorching Sands |
Your Fast Move should be a Ground-type attack like Mud-Slap or Mud-Shot depending on the Pokemon. The Fast Move should have a quick EPS to charge your Charge Move.
- Mud-Slap (6.7 EPS, PVP)
- Mud-Shot (16 EPS, PVP)
If you're taking in a Pokemon that's been Purified, then consider changing the Return Charge Move, as it's a Normal-type and won't be very useful against Regieleki. Generally, it's preferred you take a Shadow Pokemon over a Purified Pokemon due to the Shadow Power bonus.
If you can't Mega Evolve your Swampert or Garchomp, don't worry. A non-Shadow/Purified Garchomp/Swampert can work well, too.
You should use Ground-types to get STAB from the Ground-type Charge Moves, but you'll also want them to resist Regieleki's Electric-type moves. Of course, if it has Hyper Beam, your Ground-types won't have any resistance to the Normal-type Charge Move.

Pokemon GO: How to Get Shiny Regieleki
If you want a Shiny Regieleki, then you'll want to keep battling in Regieleki Raids. Shiny Pokemon have a 1 in 20 chance of appearing in Raids. Meaning if you don't get Shiny Regieleki on your first win, you may have to keep winning Regieleki Raids from other gyms.
The difference between a regular Regieleki and a Shiny Regieleki is the screw threads. Regular Regieleki has a blue screw thread; Shiny Regieleki has a white screw thread.
