How to get a Shiny Registeel in Pokémon Go, best counters and tips

While the hunt for Shiny variants may seem daunting, it’s the thrill of the chase that makes it all the more exciting. Take, for instance, Pokémon Go’s Shiny Registeel, a rare Steel-type that’s been making more appearances. We’re here to guide you on this journey, showing you how to capture this unique creature and the best counters against it.

Where to find Shiny Registeel in Pokémon Go

Depending on the current Raid schedule, Shiny Registeels can be caught from 5 Star Legendary Raids. During special durations, like the April 25 to May 2, 2024 slot, the rate of Shiny drops for this particular variant is significantly increased. To stay up-to-date, check out our current Pokémon Go Raid schedule.

It’s important to remember that Shiny Registeel’s appearance is not always guaranteed, with odds of 1 in 20. While it may take a few Raids to catch it, there’s always the possibility of a lucky random drop. So, keep your spirits high and your Poké Balls ready! 

If you miss out on Shiny Registeel’s 5-Star Legendary Raids, you can always initiate a trade with a fellow trainer. Once you reach Trainer Level 10, you can unlock trades and start the exchange when the other player is nearby. Just keep in mind that Shinies require more Stardust than standard Pokémon, as they are considered ‘Special Trades ‘.

Best Registeel counters in Pokémon Go

Preparation is vital to succeed in any battle, and the 5 Star Raids for Shiny Registeel are no exception. Here, we present the best Registeel counters in Pokémon Go:

• Mega Charizard
• Primal Groudon
• Mega Blaziken
• Shadow Chandelute
• Mega Heracross
• Reshiram
• Terrakion
• Mega Garchomp
• Shadow Machamp

Registeel is weak against Fire, Fighting, and Ground Pokémon as a Steel-type. Mega Charizard, Primal Groudon, and Mega Blaziken are some of the best counters due to their high damage rates and type advantages. But if you have yet to capture these creatures, the others on the list can be just as viable. 

However, we also have to consider Registeel’s strengths, and there are quite a lot of them as a Steel-type. 

All Registeel strengths

Registeel is resistant to moves and Pokémon types that pertain to the following classes:

• Normal
• Grass
• Ice
• Flying
• Psychic
• Bug
• Rock
• Dragon
• Steel
• Fairy

So, if you have any abilities or Pokémon that feature these types, I suggest avoiding them altogether to defeat Registeel in Pokémon Go.
