Okay, trainers! If you thought you’d seen it all, think again. Shadow Registeel is crashing into raids, and this isn’t just another walk in the park. It’s like that unexpected pop quiz you didn’t study for—definitely a challenge! So, if you’re ready to tackle this shiny menace, let’s break down what you need to know.
Shadow Registeel makes its raid debut as part of the Dual Destiny season. You can only join these raids using in-person Raid Passes. And hey, if luck is on your side, you might snag a shiny Shadow Registeel!
You can encounter Shadow Registeel with these CP stats (keep that IV floor in mind):
- 1269 – 1398 CP (no weather boost; 100% Shadow Registeel at Level 20)
- 1587 – 1748 CP (Snow weather; 100% IV Shadow Registeel at Level 25)
This Pokémon is a pure Steel type with weaknesses against Fighting, Fire, and Ground-type attacks. Think of it as trying to take down an armored knight, it’s tough! With high defense and tricky raid mechanics, you’ll want to come prepared. Load up on top counters, and don’t forget those precious Purified Gems.
Avoid weather that boosts its abilities, especially Snow, and ensure you pack strong counters. Those Regis are notorious for dragging out battles compared to other Legendaries. Teamwork is key here; aim for at least six trainers working together against Shadow Registeel.

Strategy Guide!
This raid will require teamwork! Ensure you’ve got your Mega Pokémon lined up correctly and communicate about using Purified Gems during battle. Those gems aren’t just pretty. They’re crucial!
Aiming for groups of five or more? Perfect! Just make sure those trainers have their best counters powered up well. And if you’re not quite there yet? Aim for eight or ten trainers who are still figuring things out.
The struggle with powering up Shadow Pokémon can be real, but trust me, it’s worth it when they deal extra damage compared to non-shadow ones (just keep Frustration off them!). We also recommend using Mega Evolved Pokémon since they amp up attack power while helping fellow teammates too.
This tier-five raid won’t be easy, you’ll need every advantage possible! Remember that enraged bosses hit harder than usual, so having your counter team prepped is essential.
- Purified Gems will temporarily help calm the raging boss by lowering its attack and defense.
- You can stack multiple gems during a battle, teamwork makes the dream work!
- If enough gems are used successfully, the boss returns to its normal state, which could give you the edge you need!
Finally: Purified Gems show availability in battle—the bottom corner will light up when ready. Good luck out there!
