Conquer the Shadow Regirock Raid in Pokémon GO!

Shadow Regirock returns to Pokémon GO as a formidable 5-Star Shadow Raid boss. This guide details its weaknesses, optimal counters, and raid strategies to ensure victory.

Shadow Regirock's Strengths and Weaknesses

Shadow Regirock, a pure Rock-type, shares the same vulnerabilities as its standard form. It's significantly weak 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; avoid using these resistant types.

Top Counters for Shadow Regirock

Maximize your chances by deploying high-Attack Grass and Fighting-types. Here's a table outlining the ten best counters and their optimal movesets:

Raid Strategies and Tips

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

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

For optimal success, assemble a raid team of at least four Level 40+ players. Larger teams (up to 20 players) are even more advantageous.
