Appearance of Regidrago
Regidrago’s main body is just a red orb with the signature dot pattern that the legendary titans each have a unique form of. Though it is much smaller than other titans and its arms end in a shield-like dragon skill. One side is the bottom jaw and the other side holds the head, giving it the looks of an open dragon maw on the side.
Behavior of Regidrago
Regidrago’s body is crystallized dragon energy, which allows it to unleash some of the most powerful dragon-type moves seen yet. Its power was so feared by natives of the Crown Tundra that it was sealed away in a temple along with its counterpart, Regieleki.
Strengths and Weaknesses
Regidrago is a pure dragon type, meaning it has a lot of strengths and weaknesses. It is strong against fire, water, grass, and electric type moves and takes half damage from them. It is weak and takes double damage from ice, dragon, and fairy-type moves.
Shiny Regidrago
Shiny Regidrago is the rare recolored version of Regidrago. While not a lot changes, Shiny Regidrago still has some differences. Shiny Regidrago is slightly more blue in its darker colors than normal Regidrago. Though Shiny Regidrago doesn’t have any change to its red coloring.
Best Moveset for Regidrago
Offensive Setup: Regidrago’s ability gives it a boost to its dragon-type moves and, combined with its massive health pool, makes it good for tanking hits and setting up stat boosts with Dragon Dance to sweep teams.

How to Catch Regidrago in Pokemon Go
Regidrago is not in Pokemon Go yet, but it's safe to assume it will be handled like other legendary Pokemon. Regidrago will probably be found by defeating it in raid battles then having the opportunity to capture it. Though it may also be found by doing special research missions.

FAQs
Q. Is Regidrago or Regieleki better?
While Regidrago seems like the better choice, Regieleki has far better synergies with other Pokemon, better utility sets, and a higher potential for damage than Regidrago could ever have.
Q. Can you get both Regieleki and Regidrago?
Regidrago can be chosen over Regieleki in the Split-Decision Ruins. Choosing one will lock you out from receiving the other though you can still have the other choice traded to you from another game.
Q. Is Regidrago shiny locked?
Regidrago is not shiny locked and therefore many have attempted to grind out resets to obtain a shiny version of this Pokemon.
Trivia
Regidrago is unique among the other titans in that it doesn’t have a base HP of 80, can't learn Lock-On or Zap Cannon, and doesn’t share a weakness with any other titan.
Regidrago is not shiny locked and, along with Regieleki, is one of two legendaries added to Sword and Shield that are not shiny locked.
Conclusion
Regidrago may be a little lackluster compared to Regieleki but it does hold its own. Its high health and high potential make it a safe choice in battle and unless it's matched against a weakness, it's rare it will let you down.
