As a Legendary, Regirock gets solid stats across the board, though it doesn't dominate any single category. Rock from Gen 3 gives it a unique niche. 5 type weaknesses to keep in mind. Relies on priority moves or Scarf to keep up.
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.
Every bit of Regirock’s body is made of stone. As parts of its body erode, this Pokémon sticks rocks to itself to repair what’s been lost.
Cutting-edge technology was used to study the internals of this Pokémon’s rock body, but nothing was found—not even a brain or a heart.
Regirock Weakness
FragileWater, Grass, Fighting, Ground, and Steel-type 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.
A Rock-type legendary, Regirock doesn't evolve or breed. At 580 total stats, it's meant to stand on its own.
How to Evolve
Lead with Regirock, set Stealth Rock, and keep pressure on. Clearbody and Ganlonberry buy the time it needs, with max HP and Defense EVs letting it take hits while controlling the hazard game.

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.

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.
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.
Regirock doesn't evolve. As a Legendary Pokemon, it stands on its own without an evolutionary line. It's a Rock type with 580 BST.
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. But the speed tells the real story — base 50 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. Fits the tank role.
