Am i the only person

Who finds the Regis very boring?

I'd rather do Absol or Mawile raids in the hope of getting a shiny. The Regis look horrible and are useless. In contrast the legendary birds and the beast (excluding the pointless Suicine) are always worth getting and are cool pokemon.

Hopefully Niantic will never release the Regis again for any "special event" or anything, like they have done with other legendaries. Heck i wouldn't care if they never release their shiny variants.

You’re obviously not the only person who finds them boring, the comment section of every Pokémon post since the release of Regice has been filled with people complaining.

If you’d rather do other raids then do em. Regirock is the best of the three, and I think it’s usually worth it to do tier 5 raids for the rewards. Every month can’t have the best Pokémon in the game as raid bosses, we will probably get Groudon and Rayquaza again probably before gen 4.

Gen 4 then brings 3 great legendaries, 3 not so great legendaries and one that’s up in the air.

Gen 4 has 9 legendaries, not 7.
4 with good potential, Heatran and the Creation Trio.
Azelf is guaranteed to not be worth investment but isn't bad per say.
Regigas might have niche uses.
Cresselia and the other 2 of the Lake Trio are guaranteed to be useless.

Ah yeah, forgot about Heatran and Cresselia.
The lake trio are mono psychic and we have Mewtwo already so it won’t be worth investing into them.
The dragons will be good.
Regi is sort of up in the air, we don’t know how they’ll handle its crazy stats or what moves it’ll know.

Regigas will depend a lot on the moves. If I remember correctly, with nerfed stats it won't compete with type specialists in DPS because it lacks STAB, but it would have amazing neutral DPS with a double normal moveset and its neutral damage might be able to rival type specialists when weatherboosted.

Heatran's got a lot of potential, possibly having the highest fire DPS along with massive TDO, combined with its 5 dual resistances, its the the perfect Fairy, Ice, Steel, Grass and bug killer (with those first 4 all being types that a number of legendaries both past and future are part).

Resisting Normal, Fairy and Psychic attacks could make Heatran a very tanky counter to the Normal-type tanks.

It has great stats and typing, but it needs FS/OH or a similarly good moveset to live up to that potential. We have seen Niantic shaft mons before.

They would be more compelling if you could put them in gyms. Same with the Mythicals. But yeah, they're useless although I do think Regirock ''looks'' cool

While I want them to make 1 Legendary per gym allowed.

I doubt even with such an allowance people would bother with any of the 3 Regis.

It's Machamps world, and only legendaries that make you swap your Machamp would likely make good gym defenders between the Blissey/Chanseys/Snorlaxes of world.

I agree, I dont think anyone'd power up the regi;s and i'd like to see legendaries on defense, make more of them less of collector pieces

That is actually a fairly sizable number of legendaries that would force those switch outs. It certainly would be a big change to the gym meta, make some legendaries like ho-oh and latias a lot more viable for something.

With Kirlia and more recently Tangela available, it's really hard for me to justify going through the trouble of raiding Regis.

No, you're not.
I didn't miss a single daily pass during this Summer and I only did 3 of each regi. The rest were loads of kirlia, A exeggutor, machamp, tyranitar, piloswine and next target is tangela. All the useful in preparation for Gen 4, specially if weather boosted.

Mind your language boy. You're free to like the Regis but not to talk to people on this website like that...

Btw, the picture is hilarious!

F**k you! Regice and regirock are my favorites! I have used them in battle and do a good amount of damage and can tank a TON of damage. Paired with typing and you have the tankiest tank in PoGo.

In the regi's defense, they're lackluster skills are a byproduct of numerous things in GO that differ from the main games (9% nerf, speed mod, the way stats are calculated, DPS factually being better than TDO in 99% of instances). But I agree, in GO they really dont have a point. The only *possible* reason I could see raiding them is that because theres less people raiding legendaries the rewards you get will be better, but when something like Tyrantiar/Rhydon/Absol as tier 4's they're a lot easier to beat and give about the same level of rewards while also being better pokemon
(But personally, I like the regi's, what can I say, i'm a hoenn player)

Regis weren't 9% nerfed, like most released legendaries. Only those that would cross 4k cp get the nerf and Slaking showed it's not limited to legendaries.

It is a well known fact that nobody can stand this shit for 3 months. Added with the fact that there is no point investing in literally anything because of an unforseeable future and fate, the shit cannot get any less worse.
