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, Regirock attaches rocks to repair itself.

Regirock Weakness

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 Meteor Beam and Stone Edge for same-type damage. Hammer Arm and Stone Edge are the payoff moves.

How to Get Regirock in Scarlet & Violet
Regirock Guide
For the Scarlet & Violet meta, At 580 BST, Regirock is built different. We rank it A-Tier. As a Legendary Pokemon, the raw stats back up the reputation. Best used as a tank. Bodypress with Leftovers is the standard set.
In Scarlet & Violet, 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.
For Scarlet & Violet, Regirock has answers, but so do you. Status moves (Toxic, Will-O-Wisp) wear it down. Setup sweepers can use it as a boost opportunity. Special attackers bypass its physical bulk.
Game Availability
