Raid Guide to Shadow Regirock with Top Counters

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). Build your team accordingly, avoiding moves that are resisted.

Top Counters for Shadow Regirock

Maximize your damage output by using Pokémon with high Attack stats and super-effective moves. Here are ten excellent choices:

Raid Strategies

While Water and Steel types are super-effective, Shadow Regirock's diverse moveset (including Stone Edge, Zap Cannon, and Earthquake) can easily counter them. Prioritize counters resistant to, or neutrally damaged by, these attacks.

Remember: Shadow Pokémon have a 20% Attack boost but a 20% Defense reduction. High-DPS counters are key to victory. Utilize Same-Type Attack Bonuses (STAB) for an additional 20% damage increase.

Raid Participation

For optimal success, assemble a team of at least four Level 40+ players. Larger raid groups (up to 20 players) significantly increase your chances of victory.
