How to Beat Registeel: Step-by-Step Strategy
Step 1: Prep Your Dynamax Team Since this is a Max Battle, you can only use Pokémon that have the Dynamax ability. Focus on leveling up your Dynamax Charizard (Fire) or Dynamax Blastoise (if it has Ground-type moves). Ensure your Max Moves are upgraded using Max Particles.
Step 2: Utilize Top-Tier Counters While you need Dynamax mons for the main slots, your team’s overall strength relies on high-DPS attackers. Mega Blaziken and Primal Groudon are the gold standards here. If you are looking for standard attackers, Terrakion with Sacred Sword or Reshiram with Fusion Flare will melt Registeel’s armor.
Step 3: Management of Max Particles Before entering the Power Spot, make sure you have enough Max Particles. You can collect these by walking or visiting Power Spots daily. To see how to optimize your resource gathering, check our Pokémon GO Max Particles guide.
Step 4: Timing the Dynamax Transformation During the battle, watch the meter at the top. Once it fills, your Pokémon will grow massive. This is the time to spam Max Flare or Max Knuckle. If Registeel prepares a heavy attack, use Max Guard to preserve your HP.
