The series of special Mischief Unbound Raid Hours taking place every night from November 26 - November 19 and offer players some additional activities to go along with the Special Research taking place. Each event provides one hour (6pm-7pm local time) to battle one or more returning Legendary bosses in Pokemon GO 5-star Battle Raids. Tonight the spotlight is on the Regi-trio.

Regirock, Regice, and Registeel all have shiny potential, which makes this another exciting offering even for players who already have strong, meta-competitive versions of these three Battle Raid bosses who have been featured multiple times over the years.
Best Regirock Counters
Regirock, as the name suggests, is a pure Rock-type, which makes understanding its counters fairly simple and there are a lot of great options. As usual for Regirock battles, players should put their focus on Steel, Water, Fighting, Ground and Grass types.
Blastoise (Mega) - Water Gun Hydro Cannon Venusaur (Mega) - Vine Whip Frenzy Plant Metagross - Bullet Punch Meteor Mash Landorus (Therian) - Mud Shot Earth Power Groudon - Mud Shot Earthquake Garchomp - Mud Shot Earthquake Conkeldurr - Counter Dynamic Punch Excadrill - Mud-Slap Earthquake Gengar (Mega) - Lick Focus Blast Swampert - Water Gun Hydro Cannon
Best Regice Counters
Regice is a pure Ice-type Pokemon, which means that it is technically weak to Fighting, Rock, Fire and Steel attacks. Most of the popular counter strategies focus on the Fire-weakness, so trainers will want to do a search for Fire-types in their collection and find the strongest options available.
Charizard (Mega Y) - Fire Spin/Blast Burn Reshiram - Fire Fang/Overheat Metagross - Bullet Punch/Meteor Mash Charizard (Mega X) - Fire Spin/Blast Burn Moltres - Fire Spin/Overheat Chandelure - Fire Spin/Overheat Conkeldurr - Counter/Dynamic Punch Houndoom (Mega) - Fire Fang/Flamethrower Gengar (Mega) - Lick/Focus Blast Entei - Fire Spin/Overheat Heatran - Fire Spin/Flamethrower
Best Registeel Counters
Registeel is a pure Steel-type, which means that players should focus exploiting its weakness to Fire-types for this battle. Registeel can take a lot of hits, so most players are going to want to stick to slightly larger groups, of at least five or six trainers, to ensure that they don’t waste any Raid Passes on failed attempts when it comes to these battles…
Charizard (Mega Y) - Fire Spin and Blast Burn Reshiram - Fire Fang and Overheat Chandelure - Fire Spin and Overheat Charizard (Mega X) - Fire Spin and Blast Burn Volcarona - Fire Spin and Overheat Gengar (Mega) - Shadow Claw and Focus Blast Darmanitan (Zen) - Fire Fang and Overheat Moltres - Fire Spin and Overheat Landorus (Therian) - Mud Shot and Earth Power Houndoom (Mega) - Fire Fang and Flamethrower Darmanitan (Standard) - Fire Fang and Overheat Entei - Fire Fang and Overheat
That should be everything that trainers need to know to prepare for tonight’s big Battle Raids. Be sure to prepare a strong roster of counters and find a few friends to enter each fight with!
More details about upcoming events should arrive throughout the final days of the Season of Mischief. Be sure to check back in the near future for more Pokemon GO strategy guides, news, and updates. Until then, good luck out there, trainers!
