Registeel is a Steel-type Legendary Iron Pokémon in Pokémon GO that Trainers can encounter as a 5-Star Raid Boss during February 2023. Wielding 33,516 CP, Registeel’s Attack is relatively low for a tier-5 boss at 124, but its 237 Defense enables the Legendary to endure a beating. Although you are given ample time to defeat this opponent, failure is possible if you and other Raid participants do not take the proper counters in the boss fight. To know which pocket monsters are best to use, understanding Registeel’s elemental strengths and weaknesses is essential.
Countering Registeel in a Pokémon GO Raid
As a Steel-type Raid Boss, Registeel is weak to Fighting-, Ground-, and Fire-type Movesets in Pokémon GO. On the other hand, it is resistant to Normal-, Flying-, Rock-, Bug-, Steel-, Grass-, Psychic-, Ice-, Dragon-, and Fairy-type Moves. Three experienced Trainers should be enough to take down Registeel, but those lacking high-end counters are encouraged to join a Raid group of at least five players.
