The December, January, and February seasons of Pokémon GO, titled Dual Destiny, have now begun. This season continues the focus on Galar, Max Battles, and Gigantamax Battles while also gearing up for the global Pokémon GO Tour: Unvoa event. For the first month of Dual Destiny, Tier Five Raids will feature Chill Drive Genesect, Mega Latios, Mega Latias, and Altered Forme Giratina, with Shadow Raids featuring Regice on the weekends. Meanwhile, Mega Raids see the return of Mega Banette and Mega Abomasnow. Today's raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down Shadow Regice, who will have a stint as the Legendary Shadow Raid Boss. Let's get into it.
Top Shadow Regice Counters
Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Shadow Regice counters as such:
- Dusk Mane Necrozma: Metal Claw, Sunsteel Strike
- Mega Lucario: Force Palm, Aura Sphere
- Mega Charizard Y: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
- Mega Blaziken: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
- Shadow Metagross: Bullet Punch, Meteor Mash
- Mega Heracross: Counter, Close Combat
- Terrakion: Double Kick, Sacred Sword
- Shadow Conkeldurr: Counter, Dynamic Punch
- Reshiram: Fire Fang, Fusion Flare
- Mega Diancie: Rock Throw, Rock Slide
It is recommended to power up your counters as much as possible, but creating that amount of strong Shadow Pokémon with their moves unlocked is a tall order for even the most practiced players. Here are ten additional non-Shadow and non-Mega counters that can help efficiently take down Shadow Regice.
- Keldeo: Low Kick, Sacred Sword
- Metagross: Bullet Punch, Meteor Mash
- Dawn Wings Necrozma: Metal Claw, Moongeist Beam
- Volcarona: Fire Spin, Overheat
- Origin Forme Dialga: Metal Claw, Roar of Time
- Purified Apex Ho-Oh: Steel Wing, Sacred Fire++
- Blacephalon: Incinerate, Mystical Fire
- Dialga: Metal Claw, Iron Head
- Victini: Quick Attack, V-create
- Moltres: Fire Spin, Overheat
How Many Trainers Are Needed?
Shadow Regice can be defeated with five trainers, but if you cannot guarantee the top counters with maxed-out CP and the best moves, your best bet is to make sure you have six or more players. Using Purified Gems will make your battle easier. Using the Circle Lock Technique to guarantee Great or Excellent throws, along with Golden Razz Berries, is the best way to catch Pokémon. If you get a Shiny, though, it is a guaranteed catch, so be sure to use a Pinap Berry.
Shiny Odds & 100% IVs
The Shiny rate for Legendary Pokémon is approximately one in 20. When looking for a Pokémon with the best stats, the 100% IV Tapu will have a CP of 1810 in normal weather conditions and 2263 in boosted conditions.
