Shadow Regirock Raid Guide: Counters, Tips Unleashed

Conquer the Shadow Regirock Raid in Pokémon GO!

Shadow Regirock returns to Pokémon GO as a formidable 5-Star Shadow Raid boss. This guide provides strategies and counters to help you defeat this powerful Rock-type Pokémon.

Shadow Regirock's Strengths and Weaknesses

Shadow Regirock, like its standard form, is a pure Rock-type. This means it's vulnerable to Ground, Steel, Fighting, Grass, and Water-type attacks (160% super effective damage). Conversely, it resists Normal, Poison, Flying, and Fire-type moves (63% damage). Strategize accordingly!

Top Counters for Shadow Regirock

Maximize your chances of victory by utilizing these top counters:

Raid Strategies

While Water and Steel types are super effective, Shadow Regirock's diverse moveset (including Stone Edge, Zap Cannon, and Earthquake) can easily counter them. Prioritize the counters listed above due to their resistance or neutral damage against its attacks.

Remember: Shadow Pokémon have a 20% Attack boost but a 20% Defense reduction. High DPS movesets are key to overcoming this within the time limit. Utilize Same-Type Attack Bonuses (STAB) for an additional 20% damage increase.

Raid Party Composition

For optimal success, assemble a raid party of at least four players, ideally Level 40 or higher. Larger groups (up to the maximum of 20) significantly increase your chances.
