Now that it is returning tothe gamewith theMight and Mastery season, players can get another chance at catching a Shadow Registeel with outstanding IVs or hunting for its Shiny version. So, if you do so, here are its ideal movesets.

Best moveset for PvP

Shadow Registeel’s best movesetfor PvP consists of Lock-On as a Fast Move and Focus Blast as a Charged Move.

While not very strong, Lock-On has one of the best energy generation in the whole game. This is handy, as all of Shadow Registeel’s moves are incredibly expensive.

As for the Charged Move, all of them have the same high cost, however, Focus Blast offers better coverage than the rest and hits really hard. Luckily, due to its many resistances and bulkiness, Shadow Registeel will be able to hold on until you charge the move.

If you may afford a secondary Charged Move, go with the Electric-type move Zap Cannon. It will not only hit extremely hard but will also have a chance of decreasing the target’s Attack stat by 20%.

Best moveset for Raids

In Pokemon Go, Shadow Registeel’s best moveset for Raids is Metal Claw as a Fast Move and Flash Cannon as a Charged Move.

Unlike in PvP, the best strategy to use in Raids is to go with same-type moves that match the Pokemon’s type in order to exploit the STAB. Due to Shadow Registeel only having one Fast and one Charged Steel-type move, the strategy is already set.

Metal Claw is not that strong, but it is cheap and fast, so you’ll access the Charged Move sooner. As for Flash Cannon, it has good synergy with the Fast Move and is faster than the other options.
