Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best moveset for Shadow Regigigas in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Regigigas's best moveset is Hidden Power (fast) and Crush Grip (charged), providing 26.2 DPS as a Normal-type attacker. This combination maximizes damage output thanks to STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus), strong energy generation from the fast move, and high DPE (damage per energy) on the charged move.
What are Shadow Regigigas's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Regigigas is weak to Fighting-type moves. On the other hand, Shadow Regigigas resists Ghost-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Shadow Regigigas effectively in raids and gyms, build a team using its weakest type matchups and pick attackers that have STAB moves of those types.
What is Shadow Regigigas's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Regigigas's maximum CP is 4,913 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 4,346 at level 40. Reaching level 50 requires XL Candy, which is only available to trainers level 31 and above — earning XL Candy involves catching, hatching, transferring, and walking Pokemon. Shadow Regigigas's CP is calculated from its base stats: 287 Attack, 210 Defense, and 221 Stamina. Powering up from level 40 to 50 requires a significant investment of XL Candy and Stardust, so plan your resources carefully. A 100% IV Shadow Regigigas caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 2,483 CP, or 3,104 CP with weather boost (level 25).

If you catch a perfect IV Shadow Regigigas, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Shadow Regigigas ranks well in raids or PvP. A 100% IV (also called a "hundo") is the rarest IV combination, so tag and favorite it to make sure you don't accidentally transfer it.
