Dynamax Regirock debuts on April 20th!
Regirock is a defensive powerhouse. As a rock type, Regirock has 5 weaknesses (Grass, Ground, Fighting, Steel & Water) & 4 resistances (Flying, Fire, Normal & Poison). Because of the way Dynamax battles work, Regirock can function as a specialist tank absorbing the resisted moves while having its weaknesses covered by a 2nd Tank. For example, Regirock is tankier than Zamazenta vs Normal moves.
Regirock threatens all of our tanks with one or two of its charge moves, few different tanks have to work together covering each other’s weaknesses, it’s good to reroll the moves based on our available tanks & attackers. Stone edge is the fastest with 2.5s cooldown, other 3 charge moves have 3.5s cooldown. It’s crucial to use Tanks with 0.5s cooldown fast moves.
(On the infographic, each featured pokemon have 2 most damaging (left side) & 2 least damaging (right) boss moves on them listed at the bottom of their panel, moves inside Brown segment – single hit KO, Red – Can absorb a hit, Orange – 2 hits, Yellow segment – 3+ hits can be absorbed and so on. This colour coding is done having Regirock at 0.8CPM.)
👨🎤 Gmax Inteleon is our top Attacker closely followed by Zacian. Most other top picks can trump Inteleon on their respective type-boosting weather.
👨🎤 Blissey is the best generalist Tank & Healer (another decent healer being Snorlax). No tank completely resists Regirock’s moves, so have to work in combinations. Flygon triple resists Zap cannon, can it tank up to 4 times. Lugia is a top tier catch tank vs Focus Blast & Earthquake, can tank those 5-6 times without Healing, but do not use it to fill energy meter. Latias is good tank vs Focus blast & Zap cannon, Eternatus has same resistances minus a 0.5s cooldown fast move & weakness to Earthquake.
Other than the listed Pokémon,
👨🎤 Dmax Inteleon(6th), Metagross(8th), both forms of Urshifu, Kingler & Gmax Venusaur(7th) are Tier 2 attackers.
👨🎤 Gmax/Dmax Venusaur & Dmax Latios are decent tanks vs Fighting & Electric.
All the Best! 😊🙌
