Regidrago Raid Counters

Going into the Regidrago raid, trainers will need a team of Pokemon with type effective moves, well-rounded Pokemon, or high attack stats. Overall, Regidrago is a tanky Dragon-type Pokemon. Thankfully it is easy to take down due to its vulnerabilities and below average defense stat.

The raid can be completed by a team of 5 to 8 trainers; a team of 8 to 12 trainers can take it down quicker and a team of 12 to 20 trainers can burn through it making a better completionist bonus.

Using Mega Pokemon such as Mega Salamence, Mega Gardevoir, Mega Charizard X, and Mega Glalie will make the battle a lot easier for most trainers. Ultimately, you will want to use Dragon, Ice, or Fairy-type Pokemon. Be careful, because the raid can be difficult if using Electric, Fire, Water, or Grass-Types.
