A Dark and Fire type originally discovered in the Johto region of Gen II, Mega Houndoom will resist Registeel's Steel type attacks, but it takes double damage from Fighting. While both versions of Mega Charizard perform better, if you already have Mega Houndoom ready or are lacking in Mega Charizard Energy, it will perform very well and boost other Fire type Pokémon on the field. Fire Spin and Overheat is the moveset you'll want your Chandelure to know. It resists all of Registeel's attacks too, so it will last a long while in this fight. Plus, having been featured in multiple events, including both 20's Halloween events, most players have at least one or two already powered up. Originally encountered in the Unova region of Gen V, Chandelure is one of the best Ghost and Fire types in Pokémon Go.

The Legendary mascot of Pokémon Black, Reshiram is an excellent counter for Registeel - assuming you were lucky enough to get one during its time in Raids. You'll still want your Mega Charizard X to know Fire Spin and Blast Burn. As a Fire and Dragon type, it takes half damage from Registeel's Steel type attacks and has no weaknesses it can exploit. Mega Charizard XĪlthough Mega Charizard Y performs better, if you already have Mega Charizard X evolved, it will serve you very well against Registeel. Whether Mega Evolved, Shadow, or just a standard Charizard, you'll want it to know Fire Spin and Blast Burn for this Raid.
Plus, it will boost all the other Fire type Pokémon on the field. As a Fire and Flying type, if has no weaknesses that Registeel can exploit and takes half damage from Registeel's Steel and Fighting type attacks. One of Charizard's two Mega Evolved formes, Mega Charizard Y is the top counter for Registeel. If you cannot coordinate safely or don't have the Mega Energy to spare, there are still plenty of winning teams. If it is possible to do so safely, coordinate with your fellow Raiders to focus on Fire types with Mega Charizard or Mega Houndoom and you'll be golden. It can deal Steel, Fighting, and Normal type damage. What are the best counters for Registeel in Pokémon Go?Īs a pure Steel type, Registeel is weak to Fighting, Fire, and Ground type attacks.
