Shadow Regigigas any good?
Shadow Regigigas ranks as the best Normal type attacker on our Database, and despite Normal-types not being great Raid Attackers, it is an interesting addition to your lineup. Regigigas still doesn’t have access to its signature move Crush Grip Normal, and even if it gets it in the future, it still does not guarantee that it will be good in Raids. However, this is a good opportunity to farm Rare Candy, potentially get a shiny Shadow Regigigas, and trade the 5x free Raid Passes for some experience and Raid rewards.

There will be a free Timed Research available during the event. Complete the Timed Research to earn the following rewards and bonuses:

Silver Pinap Berry
We recommend using Silver Pinap Berries to maximize Candy rewards from catching Shadow Regigigas. Shadow Raid Bosses tend to attack and move more, and have a frequent breakout rate. Be careful when throwing and use Berries frequently.
