Regieleki is a Legendary Electric-type Pokémon originally discovered in the Galar region. According to Pokédex entries, its entire body is made up of a single organ that generates electrical energy—and it’s capable of creating all Galar’s electricity. Get charged up to take on Regieleki by learning which Pokémon will be most effective in Raid Battles against it, how to catch it after winning a Raid Battle, and how best to use the Electron Pokémon after you’ve caught it.
As an Electric-type Pokémon, Regieleki is only vulnerable to one type of attack: Ground. When selecting Pokémon for your Regieleki Raid Battle lineup, it helps to choose Pokémon that have a Fast Attack and a Charged Attack that are both Ground type 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.
When you challenge a Raid Boss while you’re in a party, Party Power can give your Charged Attacks a boost. When you have more party members in a raid, your Party Power charges more quickly—and when you activate it, your next Charged Attack will deal even more damage! To get the most out of Party Power, it’s a great idea to take on Raid Battles with friends.
It’s also worth noting that when you include a Mega-Evolved Pokémon in your raid lineup, all Pokémon of the same type participating in the raid receive a damage boost while that Mega-Evolved Pokémon is battling the Raid Boss. With their substantial CP, Mega-Evolved Pokémon are already an excellent resource for raids, but this added damage boost for other Trainers’ Pokémon can also be significant in Raid Battles where you’re up against the clock.

After a successful Regieleki raid, you’ll have a limited number of Premier Balls you can use to catch it, 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.

As an Electric-type Pokémon, Regieleki is resistant to Electric-, Flying-, and Steel-type attacks. With a max CP in the low 3,000s, Regieleki is a solid Electric-type attacker against Water- and Flying-type Pokémon like Moltres, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Kyogre, and Yveltal. If you’re looking for a Pokémon that will give the Raid Boss a shock, you’ll need to equip your Regieleki with an Electric-type Fast Attack and Charged Attack. The Fast Attack Thunder Shock and Charged Attack Zap Cannon are strong attack choices for Regieleki. It’s also essential to power up Regieleki if you plan on using it as an Electric-type attacker in raids. To give Regieleki maximum advantage, power it up as much as possible. Doing so will require a lot of Candy, though, so be sure to participate in as many Regieleki raids as possible.
Regieleki isn’t considered much of a powerhouse in GO Battle League, as its 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. However, this is still a great opportunity to catch Regieleki and transfer it to Pokémon HOME, as the Electron Pokémon can be difficult to track down.
Good luck with your next Raid Battle, and remember to check Pokemon.com/Strategy for more Pokémon GO, video game, and Pokémon TCG tips.
