160 Attack at 100 Speed would make Regigigas one of the most threatening physical attackers in the game, but AbilitySlow Start halves both Attack and Speed for the first five turns. The moveset operates at half power for five turns before reaching its real stats. E-tier because most games end before AbilitySlow Start wears off, and opponents exploit the crippled turns.
