Raid Strategies and Tips
While Water and Steel types are super effective, Regirock's diverse moveset (potentially including Stone Edge, Zap Cannon, and Earthquake) can negate their advantage. 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 increase.
For optimal results, assemble a raid team of at least four Level 40+ players. Larger teams (up to 20 players) significantly increase your success rate.
