      Tips

      • A useful Pokémon to use: Ludicolo holding Leftovers with the moves Ice Beam, Giga Drain, Surf, and Rain Dance. This Pokémon is resistant to every Regi you will battle. Using Rain Dance will power up its Surf attack while healing you with Rain Dance. Rain Dish, in addition to Leftovers, is a great way to replenish health.
      • If you can, put the Regis to sleep.They will be easier to catch while they are asleep.
      • When catching the Regis, consider using a Pokémon with False Swipe. False Swipe will leave a Pokémon with only one HP.
