[OVERVIEW]
Regigigas's appealing stats, movepool, and utility options are completely ruined by its ability, Slow Start, which halves its Attack and Speed for 5 turns every time it switches in. It is fully outclassed as an offensive Normal-type by Kangaskhan and Silvally and as a defensive Normal-type by Miltank.
[SET]
name: RestTalk
move 1: Rest
move 2: Sleep Talk
move 3: Knock Off
move 4: Body Slam
item: Leftovers
ability: Slow Start
nature: Careful
evs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
[SET COMMENTS]
This set aims to remove items with Knock Off, use Rest + Sleep Talk to get rid of Slow Start, and deal damage with STAB Body Slam while spreading paralysis. However, it gets outpaced by most of the metagame, often getting forced out before Slow Start is removed, and has no immediate offensive presence; furthermore, even after it gets going, Regigigas remains too weak to break through walls. Use Kangaskhan or Silvally, which do have a more immediate offensive presence and better abilities, or Miltank which is a significantly better defensive Pokemon.
