Flavor (Required):
Based on the Middle Age or “Age of Discovery”, where magic and sorcery used to be believable and led accusation of witchcraft, as well as the mind of the people developed into a more civilized form than ever before, even with some flaws such as a tendency of jumping to conclusions.
Regichic is said to be sealed away by Regigigas due to attempting to control the other members of the Titans at it’s command. Once set loose, unless captured, it will try resume to control everything, including anyone who releases it. A hint on where to find it can be translated from the Brille code: “To know everything is to know your heart and guts first”, which means putting Luvdisc on first slot of party and any Pokémon that can have the Guts Ability (i.e. Hariyama) on second, or second and first respectively, so that the door opens.
Competitive Overview (Optional):
While Regichic seems like another victim of the “Gen 3 syndrome” (high attacks but low bulk and speed), Psionic Armor is an unique take on Dragon’s Maw where instead of boosting it’s attacking stats when using Psychic-type moves, it makes it bulkier before and after using it’s move the turn it is using a Psychic-type move. Mind Scramble in particular makes it a rare case of a physical Psychic-type wallbreaker, but a special oriented Regichic is equally valid thanks to Calm Mind.
This allows for an interesting interaction where it will brute force with any Psychic-type move and able to take damage, or try risk and use a Figthing-type coverage against Dark-type Pokémon. However, if it tries to take risk by using a move like Calm Mind, Recover or other things, it would have to use them in front of a wall or expect a switch-in.
