Stats & Training
The stat bars tell the story: Defense carries everything and Sp. Atk's dead weight. But this Rock Peak Pokemon still yields 3 Defense EVs per fight on a slow 1.25M XP grind.
Its entire body is made of rock. If any part chips off in battle, it attaches rocks to repair itself.
Regirock Weakness
Water, Grass, Fighting, Ground, and Steel moves hit Regirock for super-effective damage. The Rock typing picks up 4 resistances to work with. Regirock's physical bulk (base 200 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Water, Grass, Fighting, Ground, Steel |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Normal, Fire, Poison, Flying |
- Fairy type does not exist — Dragon has fewer checks
- Physical / Special split now per-move (introduced Gen IV)

Platinum Regirock Best Moveset
Bulk and offense in one package. Regirock runs Leftovers for passive recovery each turn with a Adamant nature, so it survives long enough to threaten with Explosion. Max HP and Attack EVs and Normal and Ground coverage make it hard to safely switch into.

The level-up pool is slim, so TMs matter here. Regirock's coverage across 8 types all comes from technical machines, built on top of Stone Edge and Rock Slide for same-type damage. Explosion and Superpower are the payoff moves.

Best Locations to Catch Regirock in Platinum
Regirock Guide
For the Platinum meta, At 580 BST, Regirock is built different. We rank it B-Tier. As a Legendary Pokemon, the raw stats back up the reputation. Best used as a tank. Explosion with Leftovers is the standard set.
In Platinum, watch for Starmie (Water), Venusaur (Grass), and Hitmonlee (Fighting) when using Regirock. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Ground and Steel-type attackers are also a problem. With 5 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter. Regirock has enough bulk to absorb a hit, but don't push the matchup. Pivot to a teammate that resists.
Clear Body prevents stats from being lowered by other Pokémon. That's the one you want on Regirock. Sturdy is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses.
Regirock is a physical attacker with base 100 Attack. Tanky enough to absorb a few hits, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 50 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. Fits the tank role.
In Platinum, run Explosion, Earthquake, Stone Edge, and Firepunch on Regirock. Explosion is the most common pick at 16% usage. This set covers the tank role with a mix of damage and utility.
Game Availability
Since Ruby & Sapphire, Regirock has appeared in 15 games. Legendary Pokemon like Regirock are usually found through story events or special post-game areas rather than random encounters.
