VGC Registeel

[SoulboyVGC]

[OVERVIEW]
*With an extremely high Defense stat and access to the coveted IronPress combination, Registeel serves the role of the format's late-game sweeper. Steel is an incredibly good typing defensively, and Clear Body stops Intimidate from the likes of Incineroar, which could otherwise prevent the OHKO on Flutter Mane with Heavy Slam.

*Registeel fits best on balance teams that feature its favorite partners. Incineroar and Amoonguss can slow down the pace of the game, Latias provides crucial speed control in Tailwind, and Rillaboom's Grassy Surge and Fake Out is appreciated by Registeel. Additionally, Latias and Rillaboom threaten Urshifu-R. Similarly, Raging Bolt is also a good Registeel partner, being the premier Urshifu-R counter in the format.

*Notable good matchups for Registeel include Rillaboom and Ogerpon-W, both of which get cleanly 2HKOed by Body Press after a single Iron Defense boost. Kingambit also does poorly against Registeel, as Swords Dance can be mitigated by Iron Defense and Body Press hits Kingambit very hard if it does not Terastallize.

*However, not all physical attackers are helpless against the IronPress Registeel. Both Urshifu formes can pose a threat, depending on Registeel's choice of Tera type. Chien-Pao can threaten heavy damage with Sacred Sword if Registeel has not used Terastallization. Gholdengo is also a hard counter to Registeel, as it is immune to Body Press and resists Heavy Slam while also being able to set up with Nasty Plot and break through Registeel's high bulk.

[SET COMMENTS]
*Heavy Slam allows Registeel to hit opposing Ghost-types like Flutter Mane. 52 Attack EVs allow Heavy Slam to OHKO bulky Flutter Mane.

*Leftovers keeps it healthy throughout the game, with Protect providing additional turns of recovery.

*Tera Water is the standard Tera Type for Registeel, allowing it to resist Urshifu-R's Surging Strikes and being a generally good defensive typing. However, with the rise of Urshifu-S, Tera Fairy is a viable option to resist Wicked Blow and Fighting-type moves while also being neutral into the majority of the metagame. Be careful using this, however as Teratallized Urshifu-R threatens a 2HKO with Surging Strikes, and Landorus can easily pin you with Earth Power and Sludge Bomb.

*The Special Defense investment allows Registeel to almost always survive Timid Earth Power from Landorus. The rest of the Defense EVs along with an Impish nature maximize its damage output.

Registeel QC

[OVERVIEW]

* With an extremely high Defense stat and access to the coveted "IronPress" combination, Registeel serves the role as the format's premier endgame Pokemon. Steel is an incredibly good typing defensively but also allows Registeel to gain STAB on it's Heavy Slam to OHKO Flutter Mane (Should be mentioned later on, ideally in set comments.), and Clear Body stops Intimidate from the likes of Incineroar which could otherwise prevent the OHKO.

* Registeel fits best on balance teams who can provide it with the support needed to set up like Fake Out, Rage Powder, and even speed control like Tailwind. Notable good matchups for Registeel involve teams that primarily focus on physical attackers, however Urshifu-S and Urshifu-R can pose a potential threat, depending on Registeel's choice of Tera type. (This is pretty cramped, best to move positive matchups up and list examples (i.e, Wellspring, Rillaboom, Kingambit, try and mention how it cleanly 2HKOs them after an Iron Defense). Bad matchups should be their own point and I don't think it's clarified enough, Gholdengo is a big one and Chien Pao might be worth mentioning pre-tera. Same applies to Partners, examples thank you.)

* (Talk about Heavy Slam here)

*Leftovers allows Registeel to recover health, It keeps itself healthy throughout the game with and Protect also helps it to stacking this recovery. (Reads a bit awkward.)

*Tera Water is the standard for Registeel, allowing it to resist Urshifu-R's Surging Strikes and Water being is a generally good defensive type. However, with the rise of Urshifu-S, Tera Fairy is a viable option to be able to resist Wicked Blow, while also being neutral into the majority of the metagame. Be careful using this however as Urshifu-R, once Terastallized, pressures a 2HKO, and Landorus can easily pin you with Earth Power and Sludge Bomb.

*52 attack EVs allows Heavy Slam to OHKO Bulky Flutter. 76 Def EVs hits the first bump to optimize the boost from the Impish nature. The special defense investment allows Registeel to live almost always survive Timid Earth Power from Landorus almost Guaranteed. The rest of the EVs in defense along with an Impish Nature maximize its damage output. (GP doesn't like bumps, live is informal. Move this over Tera Types.)

Registeel QC 1/1

[Overview]

*With an extremely high Defense stat and access to the coveted "IronPress" combination, Registeel serves the role as the format's premier endgame Pokemon. Steel is an incredibly good typing defensively, and Clear Body stops Intimidate from the likes of Incineroar which could otherwise prevent the OHKO on Flutter Mane with Heavy Slam. (I was wrong, it flows in the sentence well.)

*Registeel fits best on balance teams who feature it's favourite partners (Smogon uses American English.). Incineroar and Amoonguss can slow down the pace of the game, Latias provides crucial Speed control in Tailwind, and Rillaboom's Grassy Surge and Fake Out is appreciated by Registeel (Why? Consider mentioning how both threaten Urshifu-R.).

*Notable good matchups for Registeel include Rillaboom and Ogerpon-W, both of which get cleanly 2HKOd by Body Press after a single Iron Defense boost. Kingambit also does poorly into Registeel, as Swords Dance can be mitigated by Iron Defense and Body Press hits Kingambit very hard if Kingambit does not Terastallize.

*However, not all physical attackers are helpless against the Iron Defense Body Press combination. Urshifu-S and Urshifu-R can pose a potential threat, depending on Registeel's choice of Tera type. and Chien-Pao can threaten heavy damage with Sacred Sword if Registeel has not used Terastallization. Gholdengo is also a hard counter to Registeel as it is immune to Body Press and takes resisted damage from resists Heavy Slam while also being able to boost up with Nasty Plot and break through Registeel's high bulk.

[Overview OVERVIEW]

*With an extremely high Defense stat and access to the coveted "IronPress" combination, Registeel serves the role as of the format's premier endgame Pokemon late-game sweeper (I assume this is what you meant because "late-game Pokemon" is extremely vague). Steel is an incredibly good typing defensively, and Clear Body stops Intimidate from the likes of Incineroar,(AC) which could otherwise prevent the OHKO on Flutter Mane with Heavy Slam.

*Registeel fits best on balance teams who that feature its favorite partners.
