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 counter Pokémon to ensure victory.
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 to maximize damage output.
Top Counters for Shadow Regirock
The most effective counters leverage high-Attack Grass and Fighting types. Below is a table detailing the top ten counters and their optimal movesets:
| Shadow Regirock Counter | Type | Fast Attack | Charged Attack |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kartana | Grass & Steel | Razor Leaf | Razor Blade |
| Pheromosa | Bug & Fighting | Low Kick | Focus Blast |
| Tsareena | Grass | Low Kick | Grass Knot |
| Conkeldurr | Fighting | Magical Leaf | Dynamic Punch |
| Breloom | Grass & Fighting | Counter | Dynamic Punch |
| Machamp | Fighting | Counter | Dynamic Punch |
| Galarian Zapdos | Fighting & Flying | Counter | Close Combat |
| Roserade | Grass & Poison | Razor Leaf | Grass Knot |
| Sirfetch’d | Fighting | Counter | Close Combat |
| Rillaboom | Grass | Razor Leaf | Grass Knot |
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 this advantage. Prioritize counters resistant to or neutrally affected by these attacks. Remember, Shadow Pokémon boast a 20% Attack boost but a 20% Defense reduction. High-DPS movesets are crucial for timely victories. Utilize Same-Type Attack Bonuses (STAB) for an additional 20% damage increase. Aim for a raid team of at least four Level 40+ players; larger teams (up to 20) are even better.

Shadow Regirock raids are scheduled for every weekend in February 2025:
- February 1st-2nd
- February 8th-9th
- February 15th-16th

Prepare your team, and good luck conquering Shadow Regirock!
