The Regi family (Regice, Regirock, Registeel, Regigigas, Regieleki, Regidrago) split your Stardust budget across six different type roles. They look interchangeable in the Pokédex, but in actual raid and Master League play their utility is wildly different — and the gap between #1 and #6 is bigger than most players assume. This guide ranks all six Regis in their order of practical battle impact, with the type-coverage logic behind each placement.
How This Ranking Was Calculated
- Type coverage value: Regis are mono-type, so each Regi only matters in its type’s boss windows. Ranks weight how often that type’s coverage is needed in raids.
- DPS / eDPS: Per-type damage at PL50 IV15 against a stock raid boss. Source: Type Ranking.
- Master League viability: Several Regis (Registeel, Regirock) are fixtures in ML; that’s added to the score.
- Acquisition rarity: Regis only appear in periodic Elite Raid windows, so the candy supply matters. Lower rank = lower priority for the next raid hour.

The Regi Family Ranked 1–6
Regieleki
Electric — The highest pure Electric DPS in the game, full stop. Thunder Shock + Thunder is one of the cleanest movesets available. Electric is a top-3 most-needed coverage type in raids (Water and Flying bosses dominate the rotation), so a single Regieleki build pays back faster than any other Regi.
Registeel
Steel — Long-running Master League fixture, plus solid Steel raid contribution. Iron Head + Focus Blast covers ML matchups, while Lock On + Flash Cannon makes Registeel a Max Battle staple too. Lower DPS than Zacian but vastly cheaper to build.
Regirock
Rock — The most reliable budget Rock attacker. Rock Throw + Stone Edge is the gold-standard Rock combo, and Regirock’s bulky build makes it usable in both raid attacker slots and Ultra League. Useful against Fire / Ice / Bug / Flying bosses.
Regidrago
Dragon — Mid-tier Dragon attacker; Eternatus, Mega Rayquaza, and Origin Dialga are all stronger. But Regidrago’s appeal is the budget angle — most players don’t have those legendaries built, and Regidrago’s Dragon Tail + Outrage gets within 10% of the elite Dragon picks.
Regigigas
Normal — Massive raw Attack stat, but Normal-type damage rarely hits a weakness, so the role is niche. Regigigas works as a Master League pick where its bulk and Hidden Power coverage matter, less so in raids. Skip if you already have a Mewtwo or Slaking covering Normal.
Regice
Ice — Bulky Ice attacker, but White Kyurem, Mamoswine, Galarian Darmanitan and others all out-DPS Regice. Regice’s main value is its Ultra League frame and bulk-over-time profile in PvP. As a raid attacker, Regice is the lowest-priority Regi.
