[SET COMMENTS]
Regieleki functions as a fearsome wallbreaker on Electric teams thanks to its blistering Speed alongside a stunningly powerful Electric STAB move in Terrain-boosted Rising Voltage, being able to 2HKO even the most stalwart of neutral checks such as Assault Vest users like Galarian Slowking and Alolan Muk as well as slightly less specially sturdy Electric-resistant Pokemon such as Ferrothorn and Mega Altaria. Thunderbolt offers a secondary STAB option for consistent Electric-type damage outside of Electric Terrain, while Volt Switch allows Regieleki to soften up its answers such as Porygon2 and bring in partners to either set up Electric Terrain for it or deal with the foe currently on the field. Ancient Power hits Volcarona harder than an Electric-type STAB move would while also giving Regieleki a chance to become more threatening with an omniboost. Rapid Spin allows Regieleki to have some utility outside of its sheer attacking prowess, letting it help its team if there is a Ground-type switching into it. Choice Specs allows Regieleki to annihilate nearly anything that isn't Blissey or a very specially bulky Electric-resistant foe, while Heavy-Duty Boots lets Regieleki function much better as a Rapid Spin user as well as a pivot, and Magnet allows Regieleki to not get punished as much for clicking a move.Tapu Koko is a mandatory teammate, as it deals very good damage to Ground-types like Great Tusk, Landorus, and Mamoswine that otherwise stuff Regieleki, and it sets up Electric Terrain to boost Regieleki's Rising Voltage to the heights of its power. Zapdos and Rotom-W both deal with Ground-types such as Great Tusk and Landorus-T with Hurricane and Hydro Pump, while giving Regieleki a pivot to bring it in. Furthermore, both come with unique benefits as well - Zapdos deals with Grass-types like the aforementioned Ferrothorn and Mega Venusaur if Regieleki cannot immediately break through them, while Rotom-W offers entry hazard control through Defog as well as a stopgap to dangerous physical attackers like Iron Boulder thanks to Will-O-Wisp. Iron Hands provides both a way to deal with pesky special walls like Blissey and Hisuian Goodra as well as a slow pivot for Regieleki. Zeraora pairs well with Regieleki, as both are incredible attackers physically and specially, respectively, and they chip down each others' checks well. In particular, Zeraora deals with Blissey and Hisuian Goodra, major annoyances for Regieleki, while Regieleki sweeps away physically defensive Mega Venusaur.
