Raid Strategies and Tips

While Water and Steel types are super-effective, Shadow Regirock's diverse movepool (potentially including Stone Edge, Zap Cannon, and Earthquake) can quickly neutralize them. Prioritize counters resistant to these attacks or those that take neutral damage.

Remember: Shadow Pokémon have a 20% Attack boost but a 20% Defense reduction. Focus on high-DPS movesets to overcome this. Utilize Same-Type Attack Bonuses (STAB) for an additional 20% damage increase.

Optimal Raid Party: Aim for at least four Level 40+ players; more is always better (up to 20).
