Registeel Counters
Since Shadow Pokémon are extremely expensive to power up and require specific events to remove Frustration with a Charge TM, they will NOT be listed as raid counters in this article. That being said, if you have the shadow form of a listed raid counter Pokémon powered up and TMed, use it.
The best Registeel counters are:

Registeel moves
Picking Registeel counters is simple due to its mono-Steel typing (which enables exploiting three common weaknesses) and a lack of surprises in its movepool. Registeel can have the following moves:
Fast moves | Charge moves |
---|---|
|
|
Overall, Registeel is an easy Raid Boss to beat and rather disappointing for a legendary raid. It’s low CP and low stats (bar defense) make it an easy target for all of its counters, especially once you realize that it is unable to do much damage to its direct counters.
Weather Effects
The best overall weather to smack a Registeel in is Sunny, as it boosts none of its moves and makes the Super Effective Fire and Ground moves do their job. One can attempt to put out the Machamp Army in Cloudy however it will boost its Rock Smash and Focus Blast, and so help you if you try and take it down in Snow with its double Steel moveset. Here is a visual chart to illustrate this:
Weather | Pro-Attacker | Pro-Registeel |
---|---|---|
Sunny | Boosts Super Effective Fire and [Ground] attacks. | No Benefit |
Cloudy | Boosts Super Effective Fighting attacks. | Boosts Rock Smash Fighting and Focus Blast Fighting |
Partly Cloudy | No Benefit | Boosts Hyper Beam Normal |
Snow | No Benefit | Boosts Metal Claw Steel and Flash Cannon Steel |
Fog | N/A | N/A |
Rainy | N/A | N/A |
Windy | N/A | N/A |
