Regigigas's all-in on Attack at the expense of Sp. Atk. The physical lean is obvious from the bars. Yields 3 Attack EVs and follows a slow 1.25M XP grind.
According to legend, Regigigas pulled landmasses together and bound them with rope to create the continent of Hisui. Though I have my doubts, the story could well contain a shred of truth.
Type-wise, Regigigas takes extra damage from Fighting. Ghost moves do nothing thanks to a full immunity. Regigigas's overall bulk (110/110/110) lets it take a hit or two from most weaknesses before going down.

TMs define Regigigas's movepool. The natural moves cover basics with Giga Impact and Hyper Beam, but the real versatility comes from technical machines giving it coverage across 9 types. That's where the options open up.

Regigigas's movepool balances level-up moves with TM options. Consistent STAB comes from Giga Impact and Hyper Beam, and coverage across 9 types keeps opponents from switching in for free. No major gaps here.

Regigigas is a Legendary Pokemon rated B-Tier. At 670 BST, it hits hard. It excels as a sweeper. Base 160 Attack is where it shines.
Regigigas's biggest threats include Blaziken (Fighting), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Only 1 weakness means fewer dedicated counters to worry about. Regigigas has enough bulk to absorb a hit, but don't push the matchup. Pivot to a teammate that resists.
Slow Start is the go-to ability for Regigigas. It halves Attack and Speed for five turns upon entering battle. It's Regigigas's only ability.
Regigigas fills the sweeper role. It's leaning toward the physical side (base 160 Attack). Base 100 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. And it's tanky enough to absorb a few hits.
Best way to handle Regigigas: Priority moves (Mach Punch, Aqua Jet, Ice Shard) bypass its speed. Bulky walls that resist its STAB also shut it down.
Regigigas has appeared in 13 games since Diamond & Pearl, spanning 7 generations. As a Legendary, it's typically a one-per-save encounter tied to the story or post-game content.
