After quite a break Regigigas returned to Pokemon GO. And this time, you can even catch Shiny Regigigas when you defeat one in a raid. So players around the world will be scrambling to defeat this colossal Pokemon, but to do that, you need the best counters on your team. To help you out, we have a new raid guide showing you the best Regigigas counters in Pokémon GO, which is important when you want to catch Shiny Regigigas.
The Best Regigigas Counters – June 2021
As a Normal-type Pokemon, Regigigas is weak to Fighting-type attacks and counters. This gives players a lot of great options, especially if you've powered up Shadow versions of everything listed below. So let's break down the best Regigigas counters in Pokémon GO for June 2021.
| Pokémon | fast attack | Charged Attack |
| Competition durr | Speedometer | Dynamic Punch |
| Lucario | Speedometer | Aura Sphere |
| machamp | Speedometer | Dynamic Punch |
| Breloom | Speedometer | Dynamic Punch |
| Hariyama | Speedometer | Dynamic Punch |
| Toxic | Speedometer | Dynamic Punch |
Any of these will be very effective at countering Regigigas in your raids, but you may need more options if you don't have a few for your team. Mega Gengar is the best choice for a Mega Evolved Pokémon, if you want to use one. And if you have any, you might want to include Shadow Mewtwo with Psycho Cut and Psystrike, Shadow Alakazam with Counter and Psychic, and Shadow Metagross with Bullet Punch and Meteor Mash. Otherwise, just use your strongest Fighting-type Pokémon and you should beat Regigigas easily if you have a large enough party.
How many players to beat Regigigas
Every team is different, and with the new method of awarding Premier Balls, you always want the biggest group possible. However, if you can't get 20 players together to take on Regigigas, we recommend going with at least five coaches in the squad. More is better, and even with that many, if you're not best friends or they don't have the best Regigigas counters, you'll still struggle. So just try to make sure you have as many as you can and work with them to get some solid Fighting type counters on their team.
So that's how to beat Regigigas, but how do you get a shiny Regigigas for all that effort?
How to get brilliant Regigigas
You can catch Shiny Regigigas every time you defeat one in a five-star raid, but you have to rely on luck. The odds are around one in twenty, so the more raids you do and the more times you win, the more likely you are to catch one. But otherwise, there is no sure way to get Shiny Regigigas in Pokémon GO. Raiding as many as possible is the only real trick. So watch for it to appear in nearby Gyms and be prepared for the next Regigigas Raid Hours, which are set to take place on June 23 and 30 at 18 PM local time.
And that's how to catch Shiny Regigigas and the best Regigigas counters in Pokémon GO for June 2021.
