Shadow Registeel Raid Guide for Pokémon GO: Dual Destiny Season

Shadow Registeel invades Shadow Raids during the Season of Dual Destiny. Defeat it in Pokémon GO using these top counters and moves.

The December, January, and February seasons of Pokémon GO, titled Dual Destiny, continue. 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 second month of Dual Destiny, Tier Five Raids will feature Palkia, Dialga, Attack Forme Deoxys, and Defense Forme Deoxys, with Shadow Raids featuring Registeel on the weekends. Meanwhile, Mega Raids sees the debut of Mega Gallade and the return of Mega Lopunny and Mega Medicham. Today's raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down Shadow Registeel, who will have a stint as the Legendary Shadow Raid Boss. Let's get into it.

Top Shadow Registeel Counters

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

• Mega Lucario: Force Palm, Aura Sphere
• Mega Charizard Y: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
• Mega Blaziken: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
• Primal Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
• Shadow Heatran: Fire Spin, Magma Storm
• Shadow Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
• Shadow Chandelure: Fire Spin, Overheat
• Mega Garchomp: Mud Shot, Earth Power
• Shadow Blaziken: Counter, Blast Burn
• Blacephalon: Incinerate, Mystical Fire

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 Registeel.

• Terrakion: Double Kick, Sacred Sword
• Lucario: Force Palm, Aura Sphere
• Reshiram: Fire Fang, Overheat
• Therian Forme Landorus: Mud Shot, Sandsear Storm
• Keldeo: Low Kick, Sacred Sword
• Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
• Chandelure: Fire Spin, Overheat
• Volcarona: Fire Spin, Overheat
• Delphox: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
• Blaziken: Fire Spin, Blast Burn

How Many Trainers Are Needed?

Shadow Registeel can be defeated with four trainers, but this will be a close fight. 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

The Shiny rate for Shadow Legendary Pokémon is currently unknown.
