[SET COMMENTS]

<p>While Regirock's stats might scream "defensive wall providing support", this set lets Regirock take advantage of its good Attack stat and the support it provides itself. Drain Punch is a vital part of this set. It allows Regirock to heal damage taken, and works great with its impressive bulk; Drain Punch works even better with Thunder Wave, as it allows Regirock to move first and heal before the opponent can land a blow, potentially ending Regirock. Stone Edge is the mandatory STAB move of choice, while Earthquake hits Fighting- and Steel-types harder than Regirock's other moves. Earthquake is especially useful against Emboar, which can threaten Regirock with Superpower. Stealth Rock is an option over Thunder Wave to provide entry hazard support to the team, and can also be useful for scoring a KO against Pokemon such as Choice Band Emboar.</p>

[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]

<p>Rock Slide is a more reliable option for a STAB move, but the power(space)drop is noticeable. Rock Slide paired with Thunder Wave can create the infamous paraflinch combination, which can save Regirock in tough situations. Regirock pairs well with Audino, which who can provide cleric support. Leafeon is another great option, as it can deal with both Ground- and Water-types that might threaten Regirock. As Regirock might have trouble healing sometimes, Audino's and Leafeon's Wishes can easily restore Regirock's health, enabling it to continue to put offensive pressure on the opponent. Heal Bell support from the two is also great for Regirock as status will hinder it. Try using a Psychic-type, such as Mesprit and Exeggutor, if you're using Audino, as they can take incoming Fighting-type attacks that hit both Regirock and Audino for super effective damage. Exeggutor can also handle Water- and Ground-types for Regirock thanks to its Grass-typing. A Ghost-type Pokemon such as Misdreavus works great as well, (comma) as it is immune to Fighting-type attacks. Entry hazard support is great if Regirock lacks Stealth Rock, as it can secure some needed KOs. Armaldo can provide Stealth Rock and Rapid Spin support, keeping the field clean, while handling Grass-types fairly well for Regirock. Whirlipede and Garbodor have access to both Spikes and Toxic Spikes, while being able to and threaten most Grass-types as well.</p>

Well that was easy.

2/2

Thanks Jelli. This is now done and ready for upload.

To the one uploading this, it's supposed to be the first set:

After reading over these posts, I think that it pretty clearly should be two different sets. This one should be named Offensive Tank, while the other one should be named Support. Stealth Rock should be AC on the offensive tank set, or in the last slash, and Earthquake should be given its slot to further differentiate the set. This is because the sets listed on-site are merely a guideline; if you personally want to run SR then nobody is stopping you. I do agree that this set plays more offensively and the extra power helps, but the defensive one is useful for dealing with things like Magmortar easier.

So: I'm going to upload the other Regirock if nobody has objections to that. Then, this will go through QC as normal and be written up as normal, and will be added to the uploaded analysis on-site as the first set.

Changes to be made for a QC stamp:
Change name to Offensive Tank
Change moveset to:
-Stone Edge
-Earthquake
-Drain Punch
-Thunder Wave / Stealth Rock
Focus on this set's offensive attributes, as in add some relevant damage calculations on common things switching into Regirock.
Mention if you're not running SR it appreciates hazards to do some more damage.

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?
