Raid Strategies and Tips

While Water and Steel types are super effective, Shadow Regirock's diverse moveset (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 movesets are key to overcoming this. Utilize Same-Type Attack Bonuses (STAB) for an additional 20% damage boost.

For optimal results, assemble a raid team of at least four Level 40+ players. Larger teams (up to 20 players) significantly increase your chances of success.
