Dominate Shadow Regirock Raids with Expert Tips

Conquer the Shadow Regirock in Pokémon GO!

Shadow Regirock returns to Pokémon GO as a formidable 5-Star Shadow Raid boss. This guide provides strategies to 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; avoid using these resistant types.

Optimal Counters for Shadow Regirock

High-attack Grass and Fighting types are your best bet. Here's a breakdown of top counters and their optimal movesets:

Raid Strategies and Tips

While Water and Steel types are super effective, Regirock's diverse moveset (potentially including Stone Edge, Zap Cannon, and Earthquake) can negate their advantage. 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. High-DPS movesets are crucial for a swift victory. Utilize Same-Type Attack Bonuses (STAB) for an additional 20% damage boost.

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