Like the other members of the Regi trio, Regirock is mostly a defensive Pokemon, but it can be a good counter against flying, ice and bug Pokemon if you teach it rock-type moves. In particular, you'll want to give the legendary Pokemon the Fast Attack Rock Throw and the Charged Attack Stone Edge.

- Lucario (Counterattack / Sphere Force)
- Conkeldurr (Counterattack / Dynamic Punch)
- Breloom (Counterattack / Grass Snare)
- Zarude (Whip / Whip)
- Kyogre (Waterfall / Surf)
In clear weather the best attacker becomes Zarude followed by other Ground and Grass type Pokémon such as Landorus Forma Totem, Groudon, Excadrill, Garchomp and Roserade correspondingly. In the case of overcast conditions, the best attacker becomes Lucario, followed by the other Fighting-type Pokémon on the list and then Machamp, Sirfetch’d and Hariyama.
In Rainy conditions the greatest attacker becomes Kyogre, followed by other Water-type Pokémon like Samurott, Empoleon and Kingler.
In case of Snow weather it is advised to utilize the Steel-type Pokémon featured in the list, followed by Dialga and Genesect with Steel-type attacks.
As the Mega Evolutions mechanism has been added, the greatest attackers become MegaBlastoise, MegaGyarados, and MegaVenusaur, respectively, when utilized in combat.
NUMBER OF PLAYERS[ps2id id='NUMBER OF PLAYERS' target=''/]
To accurately determine the minimal number of players required to overcome Regirock, it is vital to take into consideration the following variables:
Level of each player's attacking Pokémon;\sWeather throughout the game;\sFriendship level between players.
Here are some unusual circumstances.
3 Players
In this circumstance it is feasible to defeat it under particular conditions: without considering the damage advantage associated to friendship, it becomes beatable by deploying Metagross teams at level 40 with upgrading of the Snow weather (it will be required to rejuvenate the team 1/2 times). With 2 best friends and weather in favor, it is possible to use teams of other attackers to complete the feat: Zarude, Landorus Forma Totem, Groudon and Excadrill with clear weather, Kyogre with rain weather, Conkeldurr and / or Lucario with cloudy weather, always at level 40 (even in this situation it will be necessary to revitalize 1/2 the team).
4 Players
In this situation it is possible to defeat him under certain conditions: without considering the enhancement of the weather and the damage bonus linked to friendship, it becomes beatable by deploying all the recommended attackers at level 40 (in this case it will be necessary to revitalize the team 1/2 times)
5 Players
In this situation it is possible to defeat him under certain conditions: without considering the enhancement of the weather and the damage bonus linked to friendship, it becomes beatable by deploying all the attackers recommended at level 30 (also in this case it will be necessary to revitalize the team 1/2 times) .

CONCLUSIONS[ps2id id='CONCLUSIONS' target=''/]
Regirock presents itself as a challenging Pokémon to deal with since, owing to its extremely high Defense stat, it will take a long time to overcome it and the losses will be considerable. The idea is to improve the Metagross and the other attackers to at least level 30 and fight him in 6/7 players to minimise the losses and be sure to defeat him before time runs out. Finally, the idea is always to employ Pokémon with extremely effective attacks since they promise a bigger damage of 60 percent .
