Facts man Zacian is basically OP in singles pub battles. They should lower slow start from like 5 turns to 3. The power creep this generation is insane.
@matthewbrown8614 I honestly think regigigas shouldn't have slow start because zacian crown form imo is more op then regigigas even if it didn't have slow start because zacian gets a plus 1 whenever it enters battle plus having a high speed stat and pretty good bulk makes it very op, scarlet and violet did nerf zacian a bit by making it so that intrepid sword only activates once per battle and I'm glad they did that because it makes switching out zacian a lot harder because if it only gets its plus 1 only once per match then you have to really be careful on when you switch zacian in but there honestly isn't many pokemon that just completely counter zacian
2 Simple Changes: 1- Regigigas' Slow Start counter should save when swapped out, like Annihalape's Rage Fist counter. 2- Slow Start should retain the -50% Attack and Speed Reduction But only at the start, each turn that passes should reduce that reduction by 10% instead it being the full 50% all 5 turns. The reason it has this ability to begin with isn't just as a nerf for great stats (albeit very dated seeing as Zacian Crowned in its intro generation had higher Attack/Speed, better Typing, AND beneficial Ability), it's also due to its inspiration being a Golem built to protect a city that grew in power with each day that passed. On the 5th day it became so strong it lost its mind and attacked the city it was meant to protect, changing Regigigas' reduction to be reduced each turn instead of all at once after 5 turns would actually be more in line with its inspiration. (This is also why it still had Slow Start in Legends Arceus where there were no Abilities and no online battling)
eh, I think it's bad, because it was introduced as a reward for doing gen 4 stuff in gen 5, and they didn't want it to dominate anything. They could have made slow start less bad if they actually wanted it to represent a golem building up momentum from a slow start.
In terms of a reason for making it that was (out of lore) its because at the time, in order to get a regigigas, you needed to have all of the regis in the sinnoh games. That doesn't sound like much on the surface, but that requires: solving the regi puzzles (in an era when the answers weren't easily accessible), having both a generation 3 game, and a generation 4 game, as well as having a game boy advance color *and* a DS, and you had to trade the regis into the gen 4 sinnoh games. Because of all the loops you had to jump through to get regigigas, GF made it have a bad ability so that players wouldn't feel bad for not getting it Source: Golden Owl's "Game Designer Explains: Why Regigigas was made Terrible on Purpose"
@@LegacyAN doesn't change the argument it could've been reworked later, especially what's about to be 6 Gens later, which they've done in the past so it's not a incomprehensible idea. Like I said they could maintain the massive nerf for lore reason perfectly fine if they wanted, but simply have the reduction taper off across those 5 turns instead all at once on the 6th turn. (which would actually be more fitting)
@@-libertyprimev1-902 Oh I absolutely agree, it should be reworked to be more in line with the fact that there are pokemon who get those kind of stats with no restrictions. I was only pointing out why it exists in the first place. On a related topic, due to the fact that Slow Start is so iconic for Regigigas, I also think that in terms of game design, making a boss battle against Regigigas where the first turn makes note that Regigigas doesn't have slow start wouldn't be unbelievably intimidating and make for an incredible scene
@@LegacyAN the Manga handles that boss type encounter well, an Ability swapping Move is used on Regigigas and it immediately choke slams an enraged Dialga and Palkia at the same time... 💀
I've always really loved Regigigas' concept of a lumbering giant slowly waking up and then wrecking shop... I just wish game freak would find a better way to convey that idea than Slow Start :(
Or maybe make it a little shorter, maybe 3 turns instead of 5? I think that’s reasonable. And make it a form change so it can be swapped out and not have to restart
They could change slow start to add two base stat points every turn for two or three turns to the stats it currently reduces or just one point to each until the turns have passed
Slow Start needs a buff. IMO, reduce it to three turns and give Regi double defense and status immunity during those turns. That way he can actually get going instead of just being setup fodder.
@@theshadowking3198maybe the debuff could start 75%, then go to 50, then to 25, then to 10, and maybe then 5? Idk I know nothing about balancing lol. Also each turn it would reduce
Or just make slow start count at the very first turn even if he's not on the field. So just play different mons on first five turn then safely switch to regigigas with slow statrt wear off
Regigigas is definitely my favorite legendary, but he's obviously held back by his ability. I like to use him in doubles along Cetitan with sheer force and entrainment. Sheer force Regigigas is crazy fun
I like the unique teams like this. Would love to see you play some more doubles. Was sick last week and watched your old doubles live stream you posted on here. I'll have to try and catch you the next time you're on twitch.
If Rage Punch can keep track of how many times it's been used, Slow Start could be retroactive. Being able to swap out and not resetting the counter would give Regigigas so much flexibility
i'd love to see a new hidden ability for regigigas and a new couple of mons that learns a new move that make the target change its ability into one other within its abilitypool
I feel like in the mega/primal phase, he should've gotten a form that ditches the Slow Start ability in favor of one that does the reverse. Doubling his Attack and Speed for 5 turns on entry, before he "Loses his mojo." or something.
What kinda world is this where you’ve become such an amazing battler the Hax God bless you so you can show us the Power of Lord Regi This is immaculate content😭💯
the issue with regigias is that you cant commit to one playstyle, if you try to stall turns you wont have enough moves left to make use of your high attack stat, you cant use your high speed no matter what since you always have to run some bulk to survive. so it cant really sweep ever even if you do stall the 5 turns since you will be too slow for a sweep, cant use trick room either ofc. unless your opponent brings a weird slow team like that guy did and you can outspeed them uninvested. the stars basically have to perfectly align for a regigigas sweep, super unlikely.
TIL losing to Regigigas is like losing to Exodia. Your opponent makes a point of trying to achieve the most ridiculous win possible using a single incredibly powerful monster that takes a ton of effort to set up.
you can use cofagrigas to attack regigigas and give him the mummy ability to turn off slow start so you dont have to try and mega brain a way to complete the hurculean task of trying to stall five turns.
Im here, sorry for commenting so late. Work was long and then I went to see a hockey game, but now it’s time to watch a game of pokemans. Let’s go haydunn!!
IMO its better to add knock off and no drain punch, knock itself is arguably one of the best moves getting items off and hitting ghost types wich this set struggles not only that rest and lefties are already a good enough opsion for healing
Great video, i think regigigas is cool. Legendaries are way more viable now thanks to how easy it is to EV and hyper train and mints. I like using legendaries cuz a bunch of them are cool and i have this "oooh what'll this be like" factor.
Hey I’m new to this - could someone plz tell me how he’s doing these battles? And do you need to train the Pokémon/give them moves or can you autogenerate in this mode? Ty
I tried lvl 1 huge power azurill with focus sash and icy wind. Next to galar muk who takes the huge power when azu goes down. Give it a choice scarf with tera blast. If only tried it on npcs but it seems to work sometimes
@Haydunn Can you try Regigigas with something that uses Gastro Acid in doubles? I tried Galvantula years ago, but you're better than I ever was. Maybe you can make it work.
Regi is still in my top 5 legendaries tho tbh. Just such a good design. I remember running up on him the first time ever in pearl and the dopamine went crazy lol
Poor Reggie feels so outdated when he gotta work so hard for his 160ATK, meanwhile Crowned Zacian is set from the get go

Bro brought a Raid Azumarill with that Shell Bell
only got a one battle on this upload because he couldn’t find another opponent willing to just stall out slow start. 1-in-1,000,000 odds right there
Needed 4 para turns to make it work but it was fun once it did
Good God, that Okidogi was so paralized that I wanted to get it a wheelchair.
Regigigas is definitely my favorite legendary, but he's obviously held back by his ability. I like to use him in doubles along Cetitan with sheer force and entrainment. Sheer force Regigigas is crazy fun
Imagine when regigigas can finally get it going they switch into a ghost type
An aurora veil would probably help a lot with getting through the Slow Start turns.
Truant watching the video acknowledging it’s not the worst ability: 🥹🤩
I hope nobody Slack Off on your post 😂
With every turn that passed by, the pressure on this dude would have intensified
Okidogi was so terrified of the best Legendary pokemon he just couldnt move lol
I'm wondering if it's possible to trap and give the opponent Mummy in singles so you can bring out Gigas to hit it.

Regigigas is an absolute MONSTER in doubles.
You should do some double battle videos too c:
You can also use protect to stall for 3 turns out of the 5

Thanks for the tips i’ma try and run the Regi in Showdown

He is pretty cool in Doubles with partners like Wheezing and that giraffe thing.
How about body press on Regigigas? Maybe can use that during the 5 turns?
Reggie was tired (pun intended) of getting slept on so he starting sleeping on the entire dex
Old strat, but you ever use gastro acid in doubles to erase slow start? I got that from the Pokémon Battle Revolution Battle tips guide
I sure thats your opponent have no idea of the abillity of regigigas, in other case he dont lets that verry unlucky okidogi there
Worst lengandary
Zapdos:did u call my name
Slow start should double the stats it lowered after 5 turns
in doubles you can run psyduck with him and use simple beam
Always ready to get some stuff going... Slowly....
They should make Slow Start work as Rage Fist, meaning dont resenting the count in the Switch.
Hey where's the match finishing technology? 😂😂😂
Im here, sorry for commenting so late. Work was long and then I went to see a hockey game, but now it’s time to watch a game of pokemans. Let’s go haydunn!!
I always wanted regi ability to just drop the stats by stages rather than purely in half.
Would make for some awesome strategies
Did anybody else have Haydunn pop into their feed after not watching him for years?
Can you make a video of doubles with Regina’s and logging, making use of neutralizing gas cancelling slow start?
Still think that his voice in the hoopa movie is the best Pokémon voice ever
“I used the worst Legendary Pokemon ever”

At least we have Neutralizing gas now to help out Regigigas in double battles.

This big boy has access to Protect since gen VIII
Usefull to burn turns with its poor ability

I would ragequit too if I had such paralyze luck
You’re such a legend!
So does the neutralizing gas ability suppress slow start?
Yes.
Regigigas woke up and said his name is RegiGigaChad
I fully expected the drawings at the end, I’m kinda sad we didn’t get it. 😔
Maybe slow start should start at 50%, but scale up 10% each turn back to 100%?
do you draw your own thumbnails?
Fun battle to watch 😊
Was this someone in your discord or a rando online? Because why would they rage quit?
In a double battle use a coffing with neutralizing gas with regigas
Can you try pairing it with Weezing to turn off its horrible ability? 👀
Does koffing ability cancel out slow start
His body was Reggie. Your opponent's was not.
Consider so much legendaries and other type with more than 600 base status, they should change slowstart, as slow to be faster like speed boost.
What about in a double battle and use wheezing special abilities that nullifies abilities
Regi G’s ability was so bad they didn’t even delete it in Legends Arceus lmao
What about when paired with a neutralizing gas wheezing
That would have went very different for Regi had you not gotten super lucky with para.
