Raid Strategies and Tips

While Water and Steel types are super effective, Regirock's diverse movepool can easily counter them. Shadow Regirock may use Stone Edge (Rock), Zap Cannon (Electric), or Earthquake (Ground). 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 efficient damage output. Utilize Same-Type Attack Bonuses (STAB) for an additional 20% damage increase.

Team up with at least four Level 40+ players for optimal success. Larger raid groups (up to 20 players) significantly increase your chances.
