Shadow Regirock's stat distribution and moveset in Pokemon GO

As a 5-star Shadow Raid boss in the game, Shadow Regirock has the following stats:

• Combat Power: 42,768
• Attack: 179 (+20%) [This goes up when the raid boss is Enraged]
• Defense: 309 (-20%) [This goes up significantly when the raid boss is Enraged]
• Stamina: 15,000 HP
• Fast Attacks: Rock Throw, Lock On, and Rock Smash
• Charged Attacks: Earthquake, Zap Cannon, Stone Edge, and Focus Blast

Shadow Regirock raids can be challenged by up to 20 trainers together. However, all of them must be present within 80 meters of the Gym where the raid is held. This is because remote participation is not allowed during these battles. The fight is over when the 300-second timer runs out or the raid boss has fainted.

Also note that the raid boss will get enraged when it loses 33% of its HP, thereby boosting its Attack and Defense greatly. At this point, at least eight Purified Gems will be needed to subdue the monster.
