Regieleki makes use of its amazing Speed along with Refrigerate to be a solid offensive spinner and pivot that cannot be spinblocked; it also threatens Ground-types that could otherwise switch in and block Volt Switch such as Garchomp, Landorus-T, and Sandy Shocks with Tera Blast. Thunderbolt is a stronger STAB option to use on switch-ins such as Iron Moth and Skeledirge, forcing them to use their recovery moves while Regieleki can pivot out, while Explosion can be used to heavily chip common RegenVest users like Hisuian Goodra and Meloetta, opening up opportunities for Regieleki's teammates like Iron Moth and Enamorus-T. Heavy-Duty Boots is the preferred item, as it allows Regieleki to have better longevity for spinning and pivoting, but Never-Melt Ice and Life Orb can also be used to make Tera Blast and Explosion more potent. Since Regieleki has a very high natural Speed tier, an alternative EV spread of 244 HP / 252 SpA / 12 Spe can be ran with a Mild nature to have more bulk while still being able to outspeed every unboosted Pokemon in the tier. Due to its frail bulk, it is highly recommended to pair Regieleki with another spinner such as Quaquaval or Iron Treads, as they can take hits from common hazard setters like Garchomp and allow Regieleki to pivot in teammates more freely with Volt Switch. Regieleki also pairs up well with physical pivots like Galarian Zapdos, Slither Wing, and Meowscarada, as they can create a strong VoltTurn duo and threaten the Pokemon that Regieleki lures in such as Hisuian Goodra and Meloetta while Regieleki can pivot them in safely. Regieleki can struggle with breaking through bulky Pokemon such as Iron Treads and Scream Tail, so pairing it with a Pokemon that can break through both of them such as Zamazenta-C, Magic Guard Volcanion, or Heatran is advised.
