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 provides the strategies and Pokémon you need to defeat this powerful Rock-type.

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% damage). Conversely, it resists Normal, Poison, Flying, and Fire-type moves (63% damage). Avoid using these types in your raid team.

Top Counters for Shadow Regirock

High-attack Grass and Fighting types are your best bet. Here are the top ten counters, along with their optimal movesets:

Raid Strategies and Tips

While Water and Steel types are super effective, Shadow Regirock's diverse moveset (potentially including Stone Edge, Zap Cannon, and Earthquake) can easily counter them. Prioritize Pokémon 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 maximize damage output. 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) significantly increase your chances of victory.
