In Pokémon GO, having the greatest moveset for a user’s Pokémon may make a huge impact in both PvE and PvP encounters.

This boils down to determining which Fast Moves and Charged Moves will do the most damage per second and overall damage output. Regirock is one of many Pokémon that Trainers will face in Raids in May 2024, so many players will want to put their successful Regirock Raid catches to the test in future battles.

To assist players in determining which moveset would work best for their Regirock, Gadinsider has many alternatives described in the instructions below.

Best Regirock moveset in Pokémon GO

Regirock is a pure Rock Type Pokémon with a maximum CP of 3,530 with stats of 179 ATK, 309 DEF, and 190 STA. Regirock may be a bulky defensive beast in combat because of its high DEF stat, therefore equipping a high-damage-dealing moveset will allow Regirock to survive opponents and do substantial damage.

In addition, Regirock's greatest moveset is listed here, and it does around 11.26 damage per second and 519.2 total damage to the adversary before fainting.

However, if this primary moveset does not fit the user’s team composition or is unavailable for whatever reason, they should explore one of the other moveset combinations given under the main recommendation.

Fast Move: Lock-On
Charged Move: Stone Edge

Secondary Regirock moveset options

Fast move	Charged move	Damage per second	Total damage
Rock Throw	Stone Edge	11.24	518.0
Rock Throw	Focus Blast	10.94	504.2
Rock Throw	Earthquake	10.88	501.5
Rock Throw	Zap Cannon	10.81	498.2
Lock-On	Focus Blast	10.70	493.1

To compensate for Regirock's weaknesses, examine which Pokémon might perform best in your team rotation alongside this Rock Type Legendary. Regirock is particularly vulnerable to Water, Grass, Fighting, Steel, and Ground Type techniques, therefore it may be a good idea to integrate Pokémon that are adept at dealing with these types.

Moreover, this may let users pivot and move around their opponent, giving the users the best chance of avoiding being entirely shut down by Regirock counters.

The users may also wish to include a Pokémon with a different stat combination, such as ATK or STA because Regirock's numbers are more padded in the DEF category.
