Registeel takes advantage of Primordial Sea to rid itself of a Fire weakness, improving its matchups against Ultra Necrozma, Mega Sceptile, and Eternatus; Primordial Sea also isn't ignored by Mold Breaker, making it preferred over Well-Baked Body. Salt Cure and Knock Off help to cripple would-be switch-ins like Mega Garchomp and Mega Swampert as well as being overall annoying to Imposter users, while Stone Axe lets Registeel set entry hazards for its teammates. Glare and Nuzzle both help to cripple Pokemon that Registeel checks such as Eternatus and Mega Sceptile; with Glare, it can slow down Ground-types like Arceus-Ground and Mega Garchomp, while Nuzzle can paralyze Magic Bounce Pokemon like Yveltal. Alternatively, Mortal Spin lets Registeel remove entry hazards and prevent Imposter users from stealing its utility. Teleport is useful for slow pivoting into teammates without fail, while Parting Shot can weaken foes for the incoming teammate at the cost of being useless against Magic Bouce. Primordial Sea and Well-Baked Body both give a Fire immunity, with Primordial Sea not being affected by Mold Breaker and removing Desolate Land, while Well-Baked Body lets Registeel spinblock Primal Kyogre without taking boosted Scalds. Registeel struggles with Fighting- and Ground-types like Mega Lucario, Mega Blaziken, and Mega Garchomp, so having Fur Coat teammates like Miraidon, Arceus-Fariy, and Arceus-Ghost can help. Registeel can Imposter-proof itself for the most part, but when using Knock Off, having any Arceus forme will do, and with Glare and Parting Shot, having a Magic Bouncer like Mega Audino will work. Registeel helps to Imposter-proof Pokemon with Fire-type coverage like Mega Sceptile and Eternatus.
