Take on Shadow Regice in Pokémon GO with our Raid Guide.
Shadow Regice is appearing in Pokémon GO Shadow Raids for the first time, and will is appearing on Saturday and Sunday across the entirety of December 2024.
While Trainers might have a Shadow Regice already, this is the first time they can encounter multiple. Plus, for the first time ever, Shadow Regice can be shiny.
So, here is everything you need to know to take on Regice in Pokémon GO.
Best Shadow Regice counters in Pokémon GO:
Shadow Regice has a weakness to Fighting, Rock, Fire and Steel-type attacks in Pokémon GO. Here are the best Pokémon to use to take it on.
 Dusk Mane Necrozma Metal Claw & Sunsteel Strike |  Mega Blaziken Counter & Blast Burn |  Mega Lucario Force Palm & Aura Sphere |  Mega Y Charizard Fire Spin & Blast Burn |  Mega Heracross Counter & Close Combat |  Dawn Wings Necrozma Metal Claw & Moongeist Beam |  Reshiram Fire Fang & Fusion Flare |  Terrakion Double Kick & Sacred Sword |  Mega Diance Rock Throw & Rock Slide |  Mega Rayquaza Dragon Tail & Dragon Ascent |  Metagross Bullet Punch & Meteor Mash |  Heatran Fire Spin & Magma Storm |
There are a lot of fantastic Pokémon avaliable to take down Shadow Regice in Pokémon GO. This includes both of the Necrozma Fusions, that will be reappearing in the Necrozma Raid Day during December. These will be fantastic options to use, if you don't have them already.
Otherwise, Heatran (including Shadow Heatran) is a good budget option, as it Metagross that also had a Community Day recently.
In terms of Mega Pokémon, the best choice would be either Mega Blaziken or Mega Charizard Y. Both of these Pokémon counter Shadow Regice and will also boost your other Trainers attacks too.

How many trainers do I need to beat Shadow Regice in Pokémon GO?
Shadow Regice isn't a powerful Pokémon in Pokémon GO, but it does have a very high Defense stat which can make it a little tricker to take down. You're more likely to run out of time than run out of Pokémon!
With that in mind, a team of four higher level trainers (maybe three with Party Play) should be able to take Regice down. Lower level trainers should aim for a group of at least six to beat Shadow Regice.
