Conquer the Shadow Regirock in Pokémon GO! This powerful 5-Star Shadow Raid boss is back, but with the right counters, victory is within reach. This guide details Shadow Regirock's weaknesses, optimal counters, and raid strategies.
Shadow Regirock's Strengths and Weaknesses
Shadow Regirock, a pure Rock-type, shares the same weaknesses as its standard form: Ground, Steel, Fighting, Grass, and Water-type attacks all deal super-effective (160%) damage. Conversely, it resists Normal, Poison, Flying, and Fire-type moves (63% damage). Strategize accordingly!

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 quickly neutralize them. 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 counters are key to swiftly defeating Regirock within the time limit. Utilize Same-Type Attack Bonuses (STAB) for an additional 20% damage boost.
Optimal Raid Teams: Aim for at least four players at Level 40 or higher. Larger raid teams (up to 20 players) significantly increase your chances of success.
