Best PvE moveset for Regigigas in GO

The best offensive PvE moveset for Regigigas in GO is Hidden Power as the Fast move, and Focus Blast and Giga Impact are the Charged moves.

Since the moves match the elemental typing of Regigigas, you will enjoy the Same Type Attack Bonus (STAB) with this moveset. Focus Blast does not match the elemental typing of this monster, but we have opted for this move as Regigigas does not have a lot of moves to choose from.
