Split Decision Ruins (Regieleki or Regidrago)

Catch Regieleki or Regidrago in pokemon sword and shield's Crown Tundra DLC. Regieleki is level 70 Electric, Regidrago is level 70 Dragon.

These are both brand new Pokémon. Regieleki boasts blistering Speed and solid offensive stats, but is fragile to compensate. Meanwhile Regidrago has the same spread as Regieleki but its HP and Speed stats are swapped. So it’s kind of like Blissey, but can actually fight.

Of the two Regieleki is probably the more dangerous. It can use Thunder Cage to trap your Pokémon and continuously deal damage. It can also use Electroweb to reduce your Speed and Extreme Speed to try and go first. Plus Magnet Rise to nullify its weakness to Ground.

Unlike the original Regi, surviving Regieleki will be your main concern, rather than inflicting damage. Being able to avoid Thunder Cage will also be beneficial for your long-term health. A Ground-type can easily keep Regieleki at bay; remember to give them non Ground moves, since Regieleki may use Magnet Rise.

Regidrago is a mixed bag. At the start, it’s probably more threatening that Regieleki, as it can cause heavy damage with Dragon Energy. However, as you reduce its HP, Dragon Energy’s damage will drop considerably and the rest of its moves aren’t that great. If you really want to trivialize it, field a Fairy-type.

The only other thing to note: Regieleki is an Electric-type, so you won’t be able to paralyse it. Sleep works fine though. If you need a suggestion, Quagsire (from the Soothing Wetlands) can learn Yawn. Once you’ve gotten the Regi to low enough health, it’s back to ball-throwing business!

Succeed in catching the final Regi and you can report your quest to Peony back at Freezington to close the lid on this ordeal.
