Is Registeel Good in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Playthrough?

Ultra Wormhole postgame. Steel-type with balanced defenses. Molayne already covers the Steel niche at the E4, and Registeel arrives too late to matter anyway.

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.

150 Defense and 150 Sp. Def with Steel typing resisting nine types and only three weaknesses. AbilityClear Body blocks all stat drops. MoveStealth Rock sets hazards and MoveToxic pressures opponents passively. But 75/75 offenses and 50 Speed mean the moveset cannot threaten anything directly.

Moves List

Leveling does the heavy lifting. Registeel picks up Explosion and Hammer Arm along the way, building toward a complete offensive set. TMs add coverage across 9 types, but the foundation's already strong by then.

Registeel Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide

  • For the Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon 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. Seismic Toss with Leftovers is the standard set.

  • Registeel is a static encounter at Alola Ultra Space Wilds in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon. Registeel appears at level 60. Prerequisite: LIMITED. Save before the encounter. These one-shot Pokemon don't respawn if you knock them out or run out of Poke Balls.

  • In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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 physical attacker with base 75 Attack. 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.
