Shadow Regirock Raid Guide for Pokémon GO: Might & Mastery

Shadow Regirock will be featured in Shadow Raids in Pokémon GO in May 2025. Use these top teams and moves to defeat this Raid.

The March, April, and May season of Pokémon GO, titled Might & Mastery, has now begun. This season continues with the focus on Galar, Max Battles, and Gigantamax Battles, with a focus on Kubfu. For the final month of Might & Mastery, Tier Five Raids will feature Tapu Fini, Tapu Buli, Azelf, Uxie, and Mesprit, with Shadow Raids featuring Regirock on the weekends. Meanwhile, Mega Raids see the return of Mega Houndoom, Mega Gyrados, Mega Altaria, and Mega Kangaskhan. Today's raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down Shadow Regirock, who will have a stint as the Legendary Shadow Raid Boss. Let's get into it.

Top Shadow Regirock Counters

Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Shadow Regirock counters as such:

• Dusk Mane Necrozma: Metal Claw, Sunsteel Strike
• Mega Lucario: Force Palm, Aura Sphere
• Primal Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
• Primal Kyogre: Waterfall, Origin Pulse
• Shadow Metagross: Bullet Punch, Meteor Mash
• Mega Swampert: Mud Shot, Hydro Cannon
• Mega Sceptile: Fury Cutter, Frenzy Plant
• Shadow Kyogre: Waterfall, Origin Pulse
• Shadow Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
• Mega Garchomp: Mud Shot, Earth Power

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 Regirock with efficiency.

• Terrakion: Double Kick, Sacred Sword
• Therian Forme Landorus: Mud Shot, Sandsear Storm
• Metagross: Bullet Punch, Meteor Mash
• Keldeo: Low Kick, Sacred Sword
• Kartana: Razor Leaf, Leaf Blade
• Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
• Lucario: Force Palm, Aura Sphere
• Sky Forme Shaymin: Magical Leaf, Grass Knot
• Dawn Wings Necrozma: Metal Claw, Moongeist Beam
• Zarude: Vine Whip, Power Whip

How Many Trainers Are Needed?

Shadow Regirock 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 and will decrease the number of trainers needed. Using the Circle Lock Technique to guarantee Great or Excellent throws, along with Golden Razz Berries, is the best way to catch Pokémon.
