[SET COMMENTS]
Regieleki is the premier -ate Speed user, entry hazard remover, and speed control, having incredible role compression that is unmatched. Volt Switch creates progress against switch-ins like Eternatus and Magearna, especially with entry hazard support, while Rapid Spin removes entry hazards to support its teammates. Explosion removes nearly every Pokemon in the tier upon use, notably removing chipped Calm Mind Arceus formes, while Supercell Slam can lure and remove Ho-Oh, an otherwise decent Regieleki switch-in. Supercell Slam can be used over Rapid Spin to allow Regieleki to have even more offensive pressure on teams where Rapid Spin is less necessary. Maximum Attack and Speed is preferred to negate speed ties, but 8 HP and 60 Defense EVs can be allocated to allow Regieleki to survive opposing Altarianite Regieleki's Extreme Speed and KO back with a Rapid Spin into Extreme Speed or straight Extreme Speed after Stealth Rock. Glalitite is a fringe option when Altarianite is used up with a spread of 252 Atk / 160 SpA / 96 Spe to outspeed opposing Regieleki and remove entry hazards reliably at the cost of being offensively pathetic in comparison to Altarianite.
Regieleki fits on a wide range of teams, from offense to semi-stall, and its teammate support reflects that. Pivots and setup attackers like Urshifu-RS, Raging Bolt, Spectrier, and Calm Mind Arceus formes all benefit from Regieleki's Explosion threats and notable Volt Switch, either answering switch-ins like Arceus-Ground, Blissey, Pecharunt, and Magearna or capitalizing off of Regieleki removing these roadblocks via Explosion to let them clean up games. Regieleki struggles to make progress versus the likes of Magearna, Eternatus, and Ground-types like Clodsire and Hearthflame Mask Great Tusk, so answers to these like Ceruledge, Lunala, and Arceus-Ground are necessary. Entry hazards also weaken grounded variants of those listed, so setters like Magearna, Hearthflame Mask Great Tusk and Garganacl are enjoyed. While Regieleki is certainly the best Rapid Spin user in the tier, it despises switching into entry hazards and, as such, Sablenite users like Magearna, Mandibuzz, and Swampert are incredibly helpful.
