After a very exciting, and possibly exhausting, long Community Day weekend,Pokemon GOplayers barely have a chance to catch their breath before the next events start firing off in the mobile AR game. This week players will be able to keep busy with a series of bonuses and special opportunities as part ofthe Secrets of the Jungle eventand, once the weekend arrives, another Legendary special guest will be joining the Battle Raid rotation.
This month featuresthree special weekends of Battle Raids, with the Regi-trio each appearing for a short two-day window to join Kyurem in the 5-star Battle Raid tier. Now that Regirock’s weekend has come to a close, it’s time for players to start preparing for the arrival of Registeel before December 19 arrives and brings the popularPokemon GOLegendary back into the rotation.

Registeel is a prettyuseful Pokemon in the PvP and PvE metagame, which means that many players will likely be glad to see this third of the trio reappear this weekend. As its name suggests, Registeel is a pure Steel-type, which means that players should focus exploiting its weakness to Fire-types for this battle. Registeel can take a lot of hits, so most players are going to want to stick to slightly larger groups, of at least five or six trainers, to ensure that they don’t waste any Raid Passes on failed attempts when it comes to these battles…
Charizard (Mega Y) - Fire Spin and Blast Burn
Darmanitan (Standard) - Fire Fang and Overheat
Entei - Fire Fang and Overheat
Although many trainers likely battled Registeel in the past, the addition of a few new evolutions andthe Mega Evolution featuredefinitely make revisiting and optimizing counter rosters a worthwhile effort. Players who have the Mega Charizard Candy to spare likely won’t regret burning through some of those resources on these fights considering the strength that option is going to bring to the table.
As trainers continue working through these amazing events and enjoying the early days of the GO Beyond update, they may want to keep hunting downthe best Unova Pokemon in the gameif improving their Battle Raid rosters and completing their Pokedex is their primary goal.
