Its stats include a 202 Attack, a 101 Defense, and a 400 HP, indicating that Regidrago is a bulky Pokemon with high stamina but relatively low defense.
Can it be defeated solo?
While you may find videos online of players successfully defeating Regidrago solo in past 5-star Raid Battles, it is almost impossible to do so this time around. With its return, Regidrago comes with enhanced stats, making it next to impossible to tackle alone. Despite previous solo victories, you will need the support of a well-coordinated team to stand a chance against this powerful Dragon-type Pokemon in its current form. It is advised to take a 3-trainer team in the raid with the most effective counters for the Pokemon and you should be good to go.
Still, if you are adamant about trying to solo defeat it, you are welcome to try and for that, we have discussed some strategies below that will come in handy whether you decide to take on Regidrago solo or with your team.
Tips and Strategies
Regidrago has three primary weaknesses: Ice, Dragon, and Fairy. Choosing Pokemon that can exploit these weaknesses will be crucial in defeating it. On the other hand, it resists Fire, Water, Grass, and Electric-type moves, so it’s best to avoid using Pokemon of these types. Regidrago’s only fast move is Bite, a Dark-type move. Be prepared for it and its charged moves: Hyper Beam, Dragon Pulse, and Outrage. Outrage is particularly dangerous due to its high damage. For counter moves, use Pokemon with strong, fast-charging moves to counter Regidrago’s high stamina and bulk.
Also, keep in mind that Weather can significantly impact the raid. We have listed some weather conditions below when it will be best to avoid a battle with Regidrago, especially, solo.
- Clear/Sunny: Boosts Fire, Grass, and Ground-type moves

- Cloudy: Boosts Fighting, Poison, and Fairy-type moves
- Rain: Boosts Water, Electric, and Bug-type moves
- Foggy: Boosts Ghost and Dark-type moves
