[SET COMMENTS]

Set Description
=============
Regieleki's amazing Speed stat and powerful Electric-type moves give it an unique niche in the metagame. Thunder Cage is its main STAB move, dealing solid damage and beating Endure users like Primarina, Blaziken, and Porygon-Z. Thunder deals more damage, which matters against Pokemon like Spectrier and non-specially defensive Necrozma. Hyper Beam deals with some frail Pokemon that resist Electric, like Naganadel, Haxorus, and opposing Regieleki. Electro Ball covers for a few slow Pokemon like Registeel and specially defensive Aromatisse.

EVs
=============
252 Special Attack EVs allow Regieleki to OHKO physically bulky Necrozma, and 252 Speed EVs let it tie opposing Regieleki and maximize Electro Ball damage. The remaining EVs are put in Defense, as most priority moves and the few Choice Scarf users that outspeed Regieleki skew physically.

Usage Tips
=============
Regieleki's matchups are simple: figure out what move can OHKO and use it. Against potential Endure users like Primarina and Galarian Moltres, Regieleki should use Thunder Cage to KO them with trapping damage if they use Endure. In situations where Thunder Cage deals sufficient damage to KO, it should be used over Thunder, as it has a smaller risk to miss.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============
Running Thunderbolt over Electro Ball is an option, giving Regieleki a reliable Electric-type STAB move that cannot miss. However, this comes at the cost of several significant matchups, like Aromatisse and Registeel, which is generally not worth the slight increase in accuracy in those few matchups where it matters.

Regieleki can run a fast specially defensive stall set with a Maranga Berry, Substitute, Eerie Impulse, Rest, and Thunder Cage. This allows it to lure some would-be counters like Sylveon, Nihilego, Goodra, and Mirror Coat Avalugg while retaining solid matchups against most other special attackers. However, this set loses to many physical attackers, and the bulk requirements mean that several Choice Scarf users can now outspeed Regieleki.

Set Description
=============
Regieleki's amazing speed and powerful Electric-type moves give it an unique niche in the meta. Thunder Cage is its main STAB, dealing solid damage and beating Endure users like Primarina, Blaziken, and Porygon-Z. Thunder deals more damage, which matters against pokemon like Spectrier, Necrozma, and Tapu Koko. (252+ SpA Choice Specs Transistor Regieleki Thunder vs. 252 HP / 80 SpD Tapu Koko in Electric Terrain: 275-324 (79.9 - 94.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO you're probably going to have to hit 2 thunders here, which isn't the most reliable...) Hyper Beam deals with some frail pokemon that resist Electric, like Naganadel, Haxorus, and other Regieleki. Electro Ball hits a few slow Pokemon like Registeel and specially defensive Aromatisse.

EVs
=============
252 special attack Special Attack EVs allow Regieleki to OHKO bulky Necrozma, (compendium's spdef set bulks for this but standard specs does drop, yes) 252 speed let it tie opposing Regieleki and improve maximize Electroball damage. 4 Defense EVs cause Genesect's Download to raise Special Attack, as Choice Band could otherwise OHKO Regieleki with Extreme Speed.

Usage Tips
=============
Regieleki's matchups are simple: figure out what move can OHKO and click it. Against potential Endure users like Primarina and Moltres-G, Regieleki should click Thunder Cage, to KO them with trapping damage if they Endure. In situations where Thunder Cage deals sufficient damage to KO, it should obviously be used over Thunder, as it has a smaller risk to miss.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============
Running Thunderbolt over Electro Ball is an option, giving up the matchups offered by this move in exchange for a reliable Electric STAB move that cannot miss. (Pretty sure you're supposed to mention the drawbacks to running it)

Regieleki can run a fast specially defensive stall set with a Maranga berry, Substitute, Eerie Impulse, Rest, and Thunder Cage or Toxic. This allows it to lure some would-be counters like Sylveon, Nihilego, Mirror Coat Avalugg, and (if using Toxic) Agility Zapdos, while retaining solid matchups against most other special attackers. However, this set loses to many physical attackers, and the bulk requirements mean that several Choice Scarf users now outspeed Regieleki.

You know this but don't forget the credits shown in analysis format thread.

Looks good but would like to see some changes before I give it the 1/2.

Edit: should be good for 1/2.

It is super solid. Just let me know when you have implemented these and I'll take another look.

Edit: I just realized Eleki just can't learn toxic, so you should probably get rid of that part.
