PvP rankings (GO Battle League)
| League | Tier | Rank | Score | Recommended moves | Typical build |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Great League | A | #86 / 1146 | 87.6 | Lock On · Flash Cannon · Focus Blast Registeel is a relic from the ancient past. Its stats are still legendary, but it now faces a much stronger field. Registeel's complete lack of Fast Attack pressure means it must rely on Charged Attacks to KO, making it challenging to play. While it has some promising matchups, skepticism is warranted as modern meta picks can dance in circles around it. | L22.5 · 8/15/14 |

| Ultra League | A | #28 / 844 | 90.2 | Lock On · Flash Cannon · Focus Blast Registeel has a storied history in Ultra League. As power creep has made other Pokemon faster and stronger, Registeel is mostly a relic from a bygone age. Its playstyle is difficult to master - it has no Fast Attack pressure and relies solely on its high energy Charged Attacks to secure knockouts. While it could still succeed, its place in the metagame has fallen by the wayside. | L49 · 4/6/14 |
