Regieleki is an Electric-type Legendary Pokémon originally discovered in the Galar region. Its entire body is made up of a single organ that generates electrical energy, and Regieleki is capable of creating all Galar’s electricity. Learn which Pokémon will be most effective in Raid Battles against Regieleki, how to catch Regieleki after winning a Raid Battle, and how best to use the Electron Pokémon after you’ve caught it.

Which Pokémon to Use in a Regieleki Raid in Pokémon GO

As an Electric-type Pokémon, Regieleki is vulnerable to Ground-type attacks. When selecting Pokémon for your Regieleki Raid Battle lineup, it helps to choose Pokémon that have both a Ground-type Fast Attack and Charged Attack if you want to deal as much damage as possible. It’s not necessary to choose only Ground-type Pokémon, but a Pokémon that shares a type with these attacks will benefit from a same-type attack bonus, which will allow these attacks to deal an additional 20% damage.

If you have multiple Pokémon that know Ground-type attacks, choose the Pokémon with the highest CP and best overall stats. Remember that speed of victory affects how many Premier Balls you will receive at the conclusion of a successful Raid Battle, so bring your strongest Pokémon and defeat Regieleki as quickly as you can.

Make the Most of Premier Balls and Berries

After a successful Regieleki raid, you’ll have a limited number of Premier Balls you can use to catch Regieleki, so make each one count. You can earn extra Premier Balls by battling with friends and defeating Regieleki more quickly.

In an encounter with Regieleki, your chance of catching it is greatest when the target ring is small enough for you to score Excellent Throws. Throwing Curveballs can improve your chances even more. But work within your abilities—if you don’t think you can reliably make Excellent Curveball Throws, aim for Nice Throws or Great Throws rather than risk missing the target ring completely.

Regieleki isn’t going to make it easy on you by sitting still while you’re trying to catch it. Don’t waste your Premier Balls by throwing while it’s moving around. Watch Regieleki to get a feel for its cycle of movement and the pauses in between the cycles. During one of these pauses, wait for the target ring to reappear, and then throw as it starts to grow smaller to increase your odds of making a Great Throw or an Excellent Throw.

Berries can help you catch Regieleki. A Razz Berry will make it easier to catch, and a Golden Razz Berry will make it much easier to catch. If you find yourself failing to land any throws, a Nanab Berry will calm Regieleki, making its movements less erratic and allowing you to make precise throws more easily. If you need extra Regieleki Candy, using a Silver Pinap Berry will make Regieleki easier to catch and grant you extra Candy when you catch it.

Buddy Pokémon with a Buddy Level of Great Buddy or higher have the Catch Assist Perk. If a Pokémon—even a Legendary Pokémon—deflects a Poké Ball, your buddy might bounce it back for a second catch opportunity!

Like all Legendary Pokémon, Regieleki is tricky to catch, so don’t be discouraged if it escapes. Get a second wind by stocking up on useful items—like Max Potions, Max Revives, and Golden Razz Berries—and try again.

What To Do with Regieleki Once You’ve Caught It

As an Electric-type Pokémon, Regieleki is resistant to Electric-, Flying-, and Steel-type attacks. Regieleki has both an Electric-type Fast Attack and Charged Attack, so it’s best suited for raid battle parties when you need Pokémon that will give the Raid Boss a shock.

It isn’t the heaviest hitter, however, so you may want to consider other options when looking for an Electric type to take to the GO Battle League. Regieleki’s base CP is too high for it to qualify for the Great League, and there are more versatile options available for the Ultra League and the Master League. But if you’d like to field Regieleki in the GO Battle League, it will benefit from being taught a second Charged Attack to give it broader coverage. And you’ll need a lot of Stardust and Regieleki Candy to get it battle-ready, so be sure to take on Regieleki raids when you see them!

In addition, this is a great opportunity to catch Regieleki to transfer to Pokémon HOME as the Electron Pokémon can be difficult to track down.
