Pokémon Go Shadow Regirock Raid Guide: Best Counters, Tips, and Tricks

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:
Shadow Regirock Counter | Type | Fast Attack | Charged Attack |
---|---|---|---|
Kartana | Grass & Steel | Razor Leaf | Razor Blade |
Pheromosa | Bug & Fighting | Low Kick | Focus Blast |
Tsareena | Grass | Low Kick | Grass Knot |
Conkeldurr | Fighting | Magical Leaf | Dynamic Punch |
Breloom | Grass & Fighting | Counter | Dynamic Punch |
Machamp | Fighting | Counter | Dynamic Punch |
Galarian Zapdos | Fighting & Flying | Counter | Close Combat |
Roserade | Grass & Poison | Razor Leaf | Grass Knot |
Sirfetch’d | Fighting | Counter | Close Combat |
Rillaboom | Grass | Razor Leaf | Grass Knot |
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.
