The December, January, and February season of Pokémon GO, titled Precious Paths, concludes this month. This season focuses on the build-up to Pokémon GO Tour: Kalos. For the third and final month of Precious Paths, Five-Star Raids will feature Dialga, Origin Forme Dialga, Palkia, Origin Forme Palkia, Solgaleo, Lunala, Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, Reshiram, Zekrom, White Kyurem, and Black Kyurem with Shadow Regigigas, Shadow Ho-Oh, and Shadow Lugia in Five-Star Shadow Raids. Meanwhile, Mega Raids see the return of Mega Pidgeot, Mega Sableye, and Mega Absol. Today's raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down Shadow Regigigas, who will have a stint as the monthly Shadow Raid Boss. Let's get into it.
Top Shadow Regigigas Counters
Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Shadow Regigigas counters as such:
- Mega Blaziken: Counter, Aura Sphere
- Mega Lucario: Force Palm, Aura Sphere
- Keldeo: Low Kick, Sacred Sword
- Shadow Blaziken: Counter, Aura Sphere
- Mega Heracross: Counter, Close Combat
- Terrakion: Double Kick, Sacred Sword
- Mega Latios: Dragon Breath, Aura Sphere
- Lucario: Force Palm, Aura Sphere
- Shadow Latios: Dragon Breath, Aura Sphere
- Shadow Conkeldurr: Counter, Dynamic Punch
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 take down Shadow Regigigas with efficiency.
- Blaziken: Counter, Aura Sphere
- Kartana: Fury Cutter, Sacred Sword
- Eternatus: Poison Jab, Dynamax Cannon
- Marshadow: Counter, Close Combat
- Crowned Shield Zamazenta: Metal Claw, Behemoth Bash
- Crowned Sword Zacian: Metal Claw, Behemoth Blade
- Rapid Strike Urshifu: Counter, Dynamic Punch
- Conkeldurr: Counter, Dynamic Punch
- Raikou: Thunder Shock, Aura Sphere
- Single Strike Urshifu: Counter, Dynamic Punch
How Many Trainers Are Needed?
Shadow Regigigas can be defeated by four trainers. If you cannot guarantee the top counters with maxed-out CP and the best moves, your best bet is to make sure you have five or more players. Using Purified Gems will help make the battle easier once Shadow Regigigas has become enraged. 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
The Shiny rate for Legendary Pokémon is approximately one in 20.
