レジギガス の育成構築

Moves Shift Gear fixes Regigigas's average Speed by increasing it to the point where it outpaces the entire unboosted metagame and increases its Attack stat, letting it OHKO most neutral offensive foes with Facade after Stealth Rock damage. Facade is Regigigas's primary STAB move that becomes immensely powerful after Regigigas has successfully activated its Toxic Orb. It also notably leaves Imposter users with only a 70-Base Power STAB attack due to them not being able to independently poison themselves. The third moveslot is filled with a sleep-inducing move, as it helps Regigigas bypass Focus Sash holders with some chance, defeat Imposter users, eliminate defensive foes that can handle Facade, and provide an extra turn of passive recovery. Spore is a reliable option because it cannot miss, and it synergizes well with Knock Off, as the attack can remove Safety Goggles. Lovely Kiss is an alternative option to be used when Regigigas does not opt for Knock Off that enables Regigigas to put Grass-type foes to sleep, prevents Kartana from easily revenge killing it, and reduces Ferrothorn's efficiency as a check. Knock Off rounds off Regigigas's coverage by allowing it to hit Ghost-types like Giratina and Aegislash super effectively while also being useful in removing items like Safety Goggles and Eviolite and in scouting for potential Z-Crystals. The removal of Safety Goggles is especially appreciated, as this lets Regigigas use Spore more freely. Spectral Thief, on the other hand, consistently hits Ghost-types hard and lets Regigigas shut down a boosted foe if it can survive a hit and hit back, and it is best used with Lovely Kiss or teammates with Knock Off so that Regigigas can set up on foes with Safety Goggles. It also notably improves Regigigas's matchup against other setup sweepers like Poison Heal variants of Primal Kyogre and Mega Tyranitar. On the other hand, Avalanche can be used to prevent Core Enforcer from suppressing Poison Heal and hit Giratina and Zygarde-C super effectively. Set Details Toxic Orb poisons Regigigas at the end of the turn, letting it utilize Poison Heal to gain passive recovery each turn, gain a pseudo-immunity to malicious status ailments, and use an empowered Facade to defeat Imposter users. A Jolly nature allows Regigigas to outspeed as many foes as possible, including base 90 Speed Pokemon like Primal Groudon, Primal Kyogre, and Dialga. An Adamant nature is an alternative option to improve Regigigas's damage output. Usage Tips Although Regigigas is able to switch into weak attacks from passive walls such as Registeel and Mega Audino, it should enter the field with caution before it has successfully activated Toxic Orb, as being afflicted by other status or getting hit by Knock Off significantly hampers its usefulness. Moves that Regigigas can switch into include predicted uses of recovery moves, weak attacks, and Spectral Thief. In this regard, it should only be switched in by slow pivoting moves or when the opponent is sure to switch their Pokemon out. However, Regigigas can be used more liberally to absorb status once it has been poisoned. Do not underestimate Regigigas's bulk; while it lacks resistances, it only has a sole weakness to Fighting-type attacks. Regigigas may sustain damage while setting up, but it will regain its health with Poison Heal recovery, which comes into play often with Regigigas's ability to induce sleep and force switches. This means foes such as Mega Mewtwo Y after using Psycho Boost and other offensive foes that cannot inflict serious damage to Regigigas are setup fodder. Once Regigigas has safely activated Toxic Orb, it can proceed to set up Shift Gear to threaten the opposing team or hinder walls with Knock Off should a foe with Safety Goggles switch in. Should Regigigas be facing more defensive teams, it is more beneficial to analyze how an opponent reacts to Regigigas. In this regard, using Knock Off early-game to remove items is a sensible strategy, as this will aid Regigigas's attempts to break past or take away momentum from Fur Coat users or most non-Magic Bounce foes later on. When setting up with Regigigas, scout for possible Core Enforcer and Entrainment users, as they can suppress Poison Heal and thus easily force out Regigigas. When Regigigas finds itself unable to set up against well-prepared teams, it can still support its team by putting foes to sleep or by double switching out to a teammate after luring in Magic Bounce users. When Regigigas is low on health, slow pivoting provides it with passive recovery, so take advantage of this when one is able to secure momentum. A few turns of Poison Heal recovery will bring Regigigas back to a healthy enough state so that it can take on defensive foes again. Once its checks and counters have been sufficiently weakened or eliminated, Regigigas can liberally switch into a passive foe, set up and proceed to overpower the opposing team with its overwhelmingly powerful Facade. Avalanche should be used against potential Core Enforcer users like Giratina to prevent the move from suppressing Poison Heal. Lastly, in an instance where Regigigas opted for Spectral Thief, it can offensively check setup sweepers that fail to OHKO Regigigas by stealing their boosts. Team Options Regigigas is hopelessly shut down by Giratina, so its best partners are Pixilate and Refrigerate users. Mega Diancie, Kyurem-B, and Kyurem-W can fit alongsides Regigigas in this regard, as they appreciate Regigigas overwhelming Steel-types by putting them to sleep or by removing important items like Assault Vest with Knock Off. -ate Pokemon also tend to pressure Magic Bounce users a lot, meaning they can take advantage of forced switches by setting entry hazards or pivoting out to Regigigas for a safe activation of Toxic Orb. Entry hazard support is generally appreciated, as Regigigas tends to force many switches and can't fit a move that is dedicated to defeating Sturdy Shedinja. Fairy-types like Mega Diancie, Xerneas, and Mega Audino can switch into Core Enforcer, as both Mega Diancie and Xerneas offensively force out Giratina, while Mega Audino can take momentum away from it. As a result, the presence of these Fairy-types can somewhat improve Regigigas's matchup against Giratina by making it more wary about using Core Enforcer in an attempt to check Regigigas. Stealth Rock also helps Regigigas meet important benchmarks, letting it OHKO Mega Blaziken and Mega Mewtwo X with +1 Facade after Stealth Rock, both of which would otherwise offensively check Regigigas. Strong Knock Off users such as Mega Gyarados and Mega Tyranitar can help Regigigas generate setup opportunities should it lack the move itself and pressure Ghost-types like Giratina and Aegislash. The mentioned Dark-type teammates can run more offensive sets with Choice Band to heavily weaken or eliminate Giratina. Regigigas, while it is bulky, tends to be vulnerable to being revenge killed by -ate users when weakened and is easily dented by strong neutral attacks from faster attackers. Steel-types can guard Regigigas from -ate users until they have been sufficiently weakened or until Regigigas is given an opportunity to set up and outspeed them. RegenVest walls can handle faster threats such as Mega Mewtwo Y and -ate users depending on their typing while letting Regigigas utilize the momentum they secure via slow pivoting.

Huge Power and STAB on both Fake Out and Extreme Speed make Regigigas an effective priority revenge killer. With its immense Attack, Pursuit and Extreme Speed combine to put foes in uncomfortable coinflip scenarios. Water Shuriken works in tandem with the Expert Belt to OHKO Primal Groudon after a Shell Smash, as Primal Groudon deters Extreme Speed with its use of King's Shield. Silk Scarf may be used to OHKO bulky Mega Mewtwo X, all Mega Rayquaza variants, and Mega Gyarados with Extreme Speed. Gastro Acid allows Regigigas to pressure opposing Wonder Guard Pokemon and force switches. Spikes takes advantage of said switches, which often lets Regigigas set multiple layers over the course of the game. Taunt is an option to deny support options that Wonder Guard Pokemon may have, as they are common switch-ins to Regigigas. Safety Goggles blocks Spore, allowing Regigigas to come in safely and subject the opponent to more coinflip scenarios. Huge Power Regigigas can work on a variety of teams due to its universal utility as a revenge killer, but it fits particularly well on offensive teams, since it can keep up pressure on the opponent. Regigigas appreciates Shadow Tag teammates such as Mega Mewtwo X, Primal Groudon, Lugia, and Arceus that can get rid of opposing Wonder Guard Pokemon, as once they are gone, there is little stopping it from steamrolling the opposing team. Mega Gyarados is also a huge help for Regigigas, as it can trap the Normal-immune Giratina with its devastatingly powerful Pursuit and threaten Primal Groudon with its own Water Shuriken. Aromatherapy users like Primal Kyogre and Blissey are also greatly appreciated, removing potential burns that would greatly hinder Regigigas's effectiveness. Blissey in particular can work well, as Regigigas also enjoys its Wish. Choice-locked Mold Breaker users like Mega Rayquaza and Primal Groudon can threaten opposing Wonder Guard Pokemon, such as Primal Kyogre and Mega Audino, for immense damage or an OHKO after Regigigas's Spikes.

Shadow Tag Regigigas is one of the best revenge killers in the metagame, as it can trap and eliminate frail offensive Pokemon including Mold Breaker Mega Diancie, No Guard Deoxys-S, and many variants of Mega Mewtwo Y. Its main source of damage is the combination of Fake Out and Extreme Speed, allowing Regigigas to often deal large amounts of damage without taking any in return. This combination of moves notably KOes Deoxys-S, offensive Mega Mewtwo Y, and Mega Latios with slight chip. Bullet Punch is used to OHKO Mega Diancie after a Shell Smash, as well as chip Substitute + Baton Pass Wonder Guard Xerneas. Spikes capitalizes on the free turns Regigigas gets against passive Wonder Guard users such as Mega Audino and Mega Scizor, as well as Substitute + Baton Pass Xerneas lacking Glare, Dark Void, or Taunt. Regigigas is also often able to set 3 layers of Spikes vs passive Pokemon without Shed Shell, as they can not threaten it. Silk Scarf provides a boost to Regigigas's Normal-type STAB moves, allowing it to KO Deoxys-S, uninvested Mega Mewtwo Y, and Mega Latios with the combination of Fake Out and Extreme Speed. Additionally, Leftovers provides recovery that Regigigas can capitalize on by trapping passive Pokemon with Shadow Tag. Maximum Attack EVs with an Adamant nature allow Regigigas to hit as hard as possible, while an investment in HP increases Regigigas's longevity. Regigigas fits mostly on balance and bulky offense teams that appreciate its ability to trap and remove powerful offensive threats. Frail Mold Breaker sweepers such as Mega Gengar and Mega Diancie pair well with Regigigas, as removing offensive Pokemon allows them to set up more easily. Additionally, these Mold Breaker users can force out the metagame's most common Magic Bounce user in Giratina, which would otherwise prevent Regigigas from setting entry hazards. Mold Breaker Tyranitar is able to force Regigigas out, so Fairy- and Dark-type teammates such as Mega Diancie are good to have. Common Wonder Guard Pokemon such as Mega Scizor and Primal Kyogre are able to wall Regigigas, so the same Mold Breaker Pokemon also pair well with Regigigas, as they can eliminate these Pokemon. Imposter Chansey is another great partner, as the two of them can revenge almost all Pokemon except Mega Gengar and Dialga. Wonder Guard users also make good teammates, Regigigas is often able to remove the Mold Breaker Pokemon that threaten them. Pokemon with Trick, Mold Breaker Knock Off, or other forms of item removal are other helpful teammates, as Regigigas greatly appreciates Shed Shells being removed from opposing Wonder Guard users.

Moves Facade provides a 140-Base Power STAB move as soon as Regigigas's Toxic Orb is activated and can do huge chunks of damage to the vast majority of the metagame. Spore allows Regigigas to neuter Fur Coat and other non-Magic Bounce walls as well as Imposter Chansey, allowing for more setup opportunities. Leech Seed provides another answer to Chansey and a way of beating Shedinja, but it can be bounced back and end up being detrimental to a potential sweep. Shift Gear allows Regigigas to boost its Speed and thus outpace Pokemon like the Mega Mewtwo formes and Mega Rayquaza, as well as powering up Facade. Spiky Shield gives Regigigas a chance to beat Endeavor Shedinja with good prediction, blocks common priority moves like Fake Out and Extreme Speed from opposing -ate ability users, and permits Regigigas to freely gain back an extra chunk of health from Poison Heal recovery. A variety of coverage moves can be used. Knock Off dents Ghost-types like Giratina and Aegislash and neutrally hits most Rock- and Steel-types that resist Facade, in addition to removing important items like Chansey's Eviolite; Thousand Arrows hits those same Rock- and Steel-types super effectively; and Sacred Fire hits Steel-types super effectively as well and has a chance to beat Safety Goggles Shedinja but runs the risk of burning an Imposter Pokemon and powering up its Facade. Set Details The combination of a Toxic Orb and Poison Heal provides Regigigas with a steady means of recovering health and a reliable STAB move in Facade. With Shift Gear, Regigigas does not need additional Speed EVs to outrun the metagame, so the non-Attack EVs are put into HP. An Adamant nature powers up Facade and the player's coverage move of choice. Usage Tips It is essential to be careful when switching Regigigas in, as a Knock Off from the foe can remove Regigigas's Toxic Orb and prevent any chance of a sweep. Therefore, it is important to get a safe switch in by means of a pivot or a teammate fainting. Alternatively, if Spiky Shield is used, it should be activated immediately to ensure that Regigigas is badly poisoned. When in the midst of attempting to sweep after setting up a Shift Gear, Facade should be the primary move used, but if the player is running Sacred Fire, it can be used in an attempt to fish for burns on opposing physical attackers. Because Sacred Fire and Thousand Arrows do not make contact, they can be used to avoid the attack drop from King's Shield. Finally, it is important not to use Spore recklessly, as though its being bounced back cannot put a poisoned Regigigas to sleep, the use of the move can still provide an opposing Magic Bounce Pokemon with an unimpeded switch. Team Options Frail, fast offensive Pokemon like Mega Mewtwo X, Mega Mewtwo Y, and Mega Gengar are effective alongside Regigigas because of their power and ability to break the Rock- and Steel-types that plague some variants of Regigigas. If Regigigas doesn't run Leech Seed, a Shedinja counter, like Mold Breaker Giratina or Mega Gengar with Pursuit, is incredibly useful. Entry hazard setters like Deoxys-S are useful for this purpose as well. Lastly, Giratina is a good teammate that can wall non-Knock Off variants of this set should Imposter Chansey manage to break through (which is unlikely).

Regigigas's access to Wide Guard provides it with a niche over its fellow support Pokemon, Cresselia, allowing it to block spread moves that are very common in the VGC metagame. Aside from Wide Guard, Regigigas has both Thunder Wave and Icy Wind. Both moves aid in slowing down the opponent's Pokemon, providing a speed advantage to Regigigas's partner. For its final move, Regigigas can run either Rock Slide or Return. Rock Slide doesn't do much damage, but can buy time by potentially flinching targets after they have been paralyzed with Thunder Wave. Return, on the other hand, allows Regigigas to deal a bit of damage to opposing Pokemon, and becomes quite respectable as an offensive option should Slow Start be lifted in five turns. The EVs focus on maximizing Regigigas's special bulk. This allows Regigigas to take on powerful special attacks, such as rain-boosted Hydro Pump or Dragon Gem-boosted Draco Meteor, with HP to spare. Sitrus Berry and Chople Berry further improve Regigigas's survivability by providing some HP recovery and allowing Regigigas to take Fighting-type moves, respectively. An alternative EV spread of 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD, with an Impish nature, can be used to focus on physical defense; the EV spread nearly guarantees that Regigigas can survive a Fighting Gem-boosted Close Combat from Hitmontop without the use of a Chople Berry. Naturally, defensive EV spreads in between the two extremes can work as well; what works best will depend on the needs of your team. Regigigas's only weakness is to Fighting-type attacks, so Pokemon such as Metagross, Latios, and Togekiss, which can handle Fighting-type Pokemon well, make decent partners. When it's not being threatened by Fighting-type Pokemon, a partner that can take advantage of Regigigas's support moves is preferred. For example, Pokemon such as Metagross, Zapdos, Chandelure, and Abomasnow, which are vulnerable to a number of spread moves and aren't particularly fast, can take full advantage of the support options that Regigigas has to offer.
