Pokémon Go: Shadow Regirock Raid Guide

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 weak to Ground, Steel, Fighting, Grass, and Water-type attacks (160% damage). Conversely, it resists Normal, Poison, Flying, and Fire-type moves (63% damage). Strategize accordingly!

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).
