Shadow Regirock Raid Takedown: Conquer with Strategy

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

Raid Strategies and Tips

While Water and Steel types are super-effective, Shadow Regirock's diverse move pool (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 counters are key to overcoming this within the time limit. Utilize Same-Type Attack Bonuses (STAB) for an additional 20% damage increase.

Optimal Raid Party: Aim for at least four Level 40+ players; larger groups (up to 20) significantly improve your chances.
