Niantic should give us the shiny Regis and be done with it

The Regis are terrible "legendary" pokemon. They're the only Legendaries i've had no real interest in catching beyond dex fillers. I haven't met anyone who likes them. Suicine is just as garbage but at least it looks cool.

Thank goodness the Regis are about to disappear. Niantic should save us all some hassle and not release them ever again. Just give every player a shiny one and be done with it. They'd probably make more money having another shiny Moltres day than a shiny Regi day.

If you do happen to be a fan of Regis, lets trade. I'll gladly trade my Regis for any shiny pokemon you have.

Usually HarryTipper2 is the voice of cynicism and discord here. In this case, however, I'm pretty much in agreement with him. Just did enough Regi raids of each type to get one over 95%. Was very lucky on Registeel and got a perfect on my first raid, only did one more.

Been raiding Kirlia, Alolan Eggy, Tangela, and the occasional Alolan Raichu for the last few weeks. Looking forward to enjoying tier 5 raids again.

Hey I'm the voice of reason round here ;) Congrats on the IV's, can genuinely say i feel no jealousy whatsoever.

I've had some fun doing little raids during the Regis, I've also built up my alt to the point i can take down Absol. In a way it's been nice to have a break from the tier 5 raids but the Regis are long overdue to go away.

A Regi community day is gonna be lame, please Niantic don't do this.

Honestly the best thing about the Regis has been the break from the non-stop T5 scene for a while. Before them I couldn't tell you the last time I bothered to raid other things unless no one was around. I agree, break time is over.

>inb4 all of them have Explosion as their raid day move

You know, Regirock and Regice really aren't THAT bad...

Smack Down Tyranitar nullifies Regirock's utility completely. Regirock being defensively oriented would make it ideal as a high TDO. Unfortunately for it, SD Tyranitar's DPS is so much higher it allows it to surpass Regirock's TDO in any SE case, rendering it obsolete in the one role it was designed for.

Regice faces this issue less since all ice types worth using are pretty well balanced, trading pros and cons here and there. It also faces the same issue all the rest do in imminent obsolescence via Mamoswine.

In this case Yes it does Luigi, because it means no one's gonna spend rare candies to power up a regirock when they can just power up a T-tar without rare candies.

Well what if you want a full team of rock types? Tyranitar is one Pokemon, there are still 5 other options to use. Off the top of my head the next best two would be Golem and Regirock.
