Is Registeel Good in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Playthrough?

The balanced Regi with 150 in both defenses. Steel typing resists 10 types and handles the rematch E4 comfortably. All three Regis are postgame encounters in ORAS, so they contribute to rematches and the Delta Episode rather than the main story.

Registeel Weakness

Registeel's Steel typing leaves it vulnerable to Fire, Fighting, and Ground. It shrugs off Poison-type attacks completely. With 10 resistances, the defensive profile is strong. Registeel's overall bulk (80/150/150) lets it take a hit or two from most weaknesses before going down.

Pokedex Entry

Registeel has a body that is harder than any kind of metal. Its body is apparently hollow. No one has any idea what this Pokémon eats.

Registeel was imprisoned by people in ancient times. The metal composing its body is thought to be a curious substance that is not of this earth.

Registeel Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide

  • For the Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire meta, At 580 BST, Registeel is built different. We rank it B-Tier. As a Legendary Pokemon, the raw stats back up the reputation. Best used as a wall. Thunder Wave with Leftovers is the standard set.

  • Registeel is a static encounter at Route 120 in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire. Registeel appears at level 40. Prerequisite: LIMITED; Requires opening door from Sealed Chamber. Save before the encounter. These one-shot Pokemon don't respawn if you knock them out or run out of Poke Balls.

  • In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, watch for Arcanine (Fire), Blaziken (Fighting), and Golem (Ground) when using Registeel. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Registeel 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 Registeel. Light Metal is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses.

  • Base 50 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. On offense, Registeel is a mixed attacker with base 75 Attack and 75 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Tanky enough to absorb a few hits. Best used as a wall.

Game Availability

First obtainable in Ruby & Sapphire, Registeel has been featured in 15 titles across 8 generations. Legendary status means a single encounter per playthrough in most games.
