Lol, everybody gets Protect EXCEPT Regigigas which is just really weird.Everything gets protect, but do you really want a mono attacker?

My guess is that GameFreak denied Regigigas of Protect and Rest on purpose to prevent people from countering Slow Start by avoiding damage or status, as well as healing when needed.Lol, everybody gets Protect EXCEPT Regigigas which is just really weird.
A very good question. Porygon Z is an amazing normal special attacker and with some defense and Chople Berry, priority wouldn't 1-2 hit ko him like it normally would. Pass it Butterfly Dances, Calm Minds, etc and it won't go down. (+2 Adaptability 2 hit koes things like Scizor and +2 Download can 2 hit ko non-special defense oriented Metagrosses with Hp Fighting for goodness sakes.)you guys but why the hell would you want to use Choice Specs Regigigas? Use like... Choice Specs Porygon Z or something... you at least have a STAB move then..
Not if you OHKO something then switch out with banded return.well, Truant actually halves ALL of your stats(not HP and Speed), because in one turn YOU move, the opponent can deal damage TWICE as much as they would normally do. This goes the same for YOU attacking, in 2 turns you do as much damage as a pokemon with half your attack stat(say, regigigas in first 5 turns). With Slow Start, your defenses dont get halved
I hope you all got this explanation
You can't pass worry seed, and that's so complicated it'd never work anyway.could you possibly worry seed smeargle, ingrain with that smeargle, wide guard with a nageki or something to protect smeargle, then pass it to regi next turn? i know, kinda crazy, but it would be so good if it worked.
or can you not pass worry seed?
That was a glitch in previous versions. Changing his ability now increases his stats.doesnt when you change his ability he retain the haled attack AND speed ?
yeah fuck that
Well thats a relief! I say we start trying out this Cofragigrus strategy. It might just work. Although with team preview, it might be too obvious! ^_^'That was a glitch in previous versions. Changing his ability now increases his stats.
Why do you need pursuit? Can't you just send him out? He has like Uber stats. He should be able to do some damage no matter what comes in.The problem with the Cofagrigus strategy is that, unlike Slaking, Regigigas does not get Pursuit.
Slaking needs Pursuit in cs the opponent tries the obvious response: switching out. And Cofagrigus can't learn Baton Pass. Unless you could have Cofagrigus Escape Button to something that does have Block/MeanLook and Baton Pass, I don't really see how you could reliably get Regigigas to lose Slow Start in singles.
In doubles, however, you can just make Cofagrigus his teammate, or pair 'gig' with anything with an ability-changing move and a Mental Herb.
No, he won't have Uber stats, because you won't be able to hit the Mummy'd opponent when they switch out the turn after.Why do you need pursuit? Can't you just send him out? He has like Uber stats. He should be able to do some damage no matter what comes in.
*idea*No, he won't have Uber stats, because you won't be able to hit the Mummy'd opponent when they switch out the turn after.
If you snd him out and don't use Pursuit, or don't have it, then the opponent who's afflicted with Mummy will switch out next turn, denying Regigigas is chance to shed Slow Start.Why do you need pursuit? Can't you just send him out? He has like Uber stats. He should be able to do some damage no matter what comes in.
not useful because it doesn't helps coverage wise and he is too slow in the first 5 turns to flinch anything outside of things like slowbro :/How About Iron Head? :D
