Unleash the Shadow: Master the Art of Defeating Regirock in Pokémon Go

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

As a pure Rock-type, Shadow Regirock is vulnerable 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.

Top Counters for Shadow Regirock

Prioritize high-Attack Grass and Fighting-types. The following Pokémon offer excellent counter options:

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 negate their advantage. Focus on counters resistant to or taking neutral damage from these attacks.

Remember: Shadow Pokémon have a 20% Attack boost but a 20% Defense reduction. Maximize DPS with high-damage movesets. Utilize Same-Type Attack Bonuses (STAB) for an additional 20% damage increase.

Optimal Raid Group Size: Aim for at least four Level 40+ players, but larger groups (up to 20) significantly increase your chances of success.
