[OVERVIEW]

Registeel is an excellent mixed wall and Stealth Rock setter, capable of standing firm in the face of many attackers throughout the game and keeping up entry hazards. IronPress allows Registeel to turn into an offensive threat while walling any physical attacker, letting it set up against a myriad of foes like Mimikyu and Kleavor, while Thunder Wave can cripple Pokemon like Gyarados, Salamence, and Basculegion-F. Registeel's typing allows it to check the Fairy-, Poison-, and Dragon-types in the tier like Gardevoir, Fezandipiti, and Salamence with ease, while its incredible bulk allows it to take neutral attacks from Empoleon and Hisuian Zoroark. However, Registeel lacks reliable recovery, relying on the meager healing of Leftovers, which means that it can be chipped down across the game by hazards and is vulnerable to item removal like Knock Off. Pokemon that defeat Registeel, like Galarian Zapdos, Mamoswine, and Volcanion, are all very common in the metagame. Registeel also poses very little threat to the Ghost- and Psychic-type Pokemon that shrug off Body Press, like Basculegion-F and Slowbro, granting them easy entry points. In addition, Registeel's ability to keep Stealth Rock up is hindered by its matchup against common hazard removers, as it does not want to switch into Cyclizar's Knock Off or Galarian Weezing's Will-O-Wisp.

Set Details

Body Press takes advantage of Registeel's high Defense and can hit Pokemon like Bisharp and Cyclizar. Iron Defense improves Registeel's survivability and turns it into an offensive threat thanks to Body Press. Thunder Wave can paralyze Cyclizar and Talonflame for Registeel's allies to deal with them better. Leftovers is necessary due to Registeel's natural lack of recovery. Clear Body prevents stat drops from attacks like Liquidation, Crunch, and Shadow Ball. 180 Defense EVs allow Registeel to survive two Earthquakes from Krookodile most of the time while guaranteeing Registeel can OHKO Umbreon with a +2 Body Press after Stealth Rock damage. Tera Ghost provides Registeel with an immunity to Fighting to beat Pokemon like Slither Wing and Galarian Zapdos and to block Cyclizar's Rapid Spin. This also allows Registeel to set up against Pokemon with Ground-type coverage like Earthquake Gyarados and Salamence.

Registeel is a great fit on both bulky offense and balance teams. Because Registeel wants to enter the field often, it is particularly susceptible to Spikes, so entry hazard removers like Noivern, Cyclizar—which Volcanion struggles against—and Defog Galarian Weezing—which counters Fighting-types like Galarian Zapdos and Slither Wing—make valuable teammates. Due to Registeel's reliance on its Leftovers, a Knock Off absorber is a necessity, a role that Pokemon like Chesnaught, Slither Wing, and Fezandipiti are able to perform. Registeel's lack of natural recovery makes Wish a useful option, which can be used by Umbreon and Vaporeon. As Ghost- and Psychic-types like Basculegion-F and Slowbro are able to stand against Registeel's Body Press, it is useful to have allies that can hit them like Hisuian Zoroark, Krookodile, and Mimikyu. Setup sweepers like Slowbro and Oricorio-E can take advantage of Registeel's struggle to touch them, so allies that can disrupt them like Trick Gardevoir and Hisuian Zoroark and Encore Maushold are useful.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
====

Registeel can use a combination of Fling and Toxic Orb to poison a Pokemon such as Hippowdon or Slowbro, providing a single-use offensive option that is not expected in its arsenal. Curse is an alternative setup option that slows the Defense boosts in exchange for boosting the damage of Heavy Slam, but it is recommended to use a different Tera type alongside it. Tera Poison grants Registeel a resistance to Fighting while maintaining its Fairy resististance and poison immunity. Tera Fairy also grants a Fighting resistance in addition to a Dark resistance. Thunderbolt can be used to hit Slowbro and Flying-types like Talonflame and Gyarados. Protect can be used to improve the effectiveness of Leftovers and to scout for moves from Choice-locked Galarian Zapdos and Krookodile. ChestoRest can provide emergency healing and remove negative status effects. Iron Head deals more damage than Heavy Slam to Pokemon that weigh 68.5kg—151lbs—or higher, which includes targets like Salamence, Hisuian Zoroark, and Slither Wing.

Checks and Counters
====

**Fighting-types**: Pokemon like Galarian Zapdos, Slither Wing, Mienshao, and Lucario threaten significant damage on Registeel if it has no Defense boosts.

**Fire-types**: Fire-types like Armarouge, Volcanion, and Entei can deal super effective damage to Registeel and burn it, neutering its Leftovers and damage.

**Ghost-types**: Basculegion-F and Hisuian Zoroark are immune to Body Press, forcing Registeel to hit with its unboosted attack. Tera Ghost is also a common Tera type for physical walls like Chesnaught, Hippowdon, Gastrodon, and opposing Registeel.

**Knock Off**: Knock Off users like Krookodile, Cyclizar, and Hisuian Goodra are capable of removing Registeel's Leftovers, harming its longevity.

**Disruption**: If Registeel has its moves disrupted through the use of moves like Encore, Taunt, and Trick, it is severely hindered and forced to switch out.

[OVERVIEW]

Registeel is an excellent mixed wall and Stealth Rock setter, capable of standing firm in the face of many attackers throughout the game and keeping up entry hazards. IronPress allows Registeel to turn into an offensive threat while walling any physical attacker, while Thunder Wave provides support for the rest of its team. This reads like the first paragraph of the set rather than an overview, maybe split them into two sentences and talk about specific mons like Mimikyu you can setup on or Twave targets like Salamence, etc. Registeel's typing allows it to check the Fairy-, Psychic-, Poison-, and Dragon-types in the tier like Gardevoir, Jirachi, Fezandipiti, and Salamence with ease while its incredible bulk allows it to take neutral attacks from Empoleon and Crawdaunt. Registeel however lacks reliable recovery, relying on the meagre healing of Leftovers, meaning that it can be chipped down across the game by entry hazards, and renders it vulnerable to item removal like Knock Off. Pokemon that defeat Registeel, like Galarian Zapdos, Mamoswine, and Volcanion, are all very common in the metagame. Registeel also poses very little threat to the Ghost- and Psychic-type Pokemon that resist Body Press, like Basculegion-F and Slowbro, granting them easy entry points. In addition, Registeel's ability to keep Stealth Rock up is hindered by its matchup into common hazard removers, as it does not want to switch into Cyclizar's Knock Off or Galarian Weezing's Will-o-Wisp.

Clear Body prevents Defense and Special Defense drops from attacks like Liquidation, Crunch, Psychic, and Shadow Ball. What clicks Psychic these days besides Gard which Registeel walls..180 Defense EVs allow Registeel to survive two Earthquakes from Krookodile most of the time, while guaranteeing an OHKO on Umbreon with a +2 Body Press after Stealth Rock. Tera Ghost provides Registeel with an immunity to Fighting in order to beat Pokemon like Slither Wing and Galarian Zapdos. Removing its Fire and Ground weaknesses also helps against foes like Volcanion and Rhyperior. I'd consider talking about stuff like DD Gyarados and Salamence losing to IronPress Tera Ghost Regi long-term rather than Volc and Rhyp here.

Registeel is a great fit on both bulky offense and balance teams. Because Registeel wants to enter the field often, it is particularly susceptible to Spikes, so hazard removers like Defog Galarian Weezing or Noivern make valuable teammates that can also switch into the Fighting- and Ground-type attacks that threaten it. Mention GWeez as a Slither/Gapdos check and Noivern as a Volcanion check, emphasize them a bit A Knock Off absorber is another necessity, a role which Pokemon like Chesnaught, Slither Wing, and Fezandipiti are able to perform. Registeel's lack of natural recovery makes Wish a useful option, which can be used by Umbreon and Vaporeon. As Ghost- and Psychic-types are able to stand against Registeel's Body Press it is useful to have allies that can hit them like Hisuian Zoroark, Krookodile, and Mimikyu.

Volcanion, make valuable teammates.

As Ghost- and Psychic-types examples, also mention that setup sweepers like oricorio-E and Slowbro are particularly annoying so it's useful to have partners that can disrupt or break through them - this can be added to this line or in a following line are able to stand against Registeel's Body Press it is useful to have allies that can hit them like Hisuian Zoroark, Krookodile, and Mimikyu.
