There's a reason Regigigas has stayed relevant since Gen 4. Normal typing and clears the crowded base-100 Speed benchmark — it checks a lot of boxes at once. Ghost moves can't touch it, and only a single type hits it super-effectively. Known as the Colossal Pokemon.
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.
It is said to have made Pokémon that look like itself from a special ice mountain, rocks, and magma.
There is an enduring legend that states this Pokémon towed continents with ropes.
Regigigas Weakness
GoodType-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.
No breeding, no evolution. Regigigas is a Normal legendary with 670 base stat total that you obtain once and build around.
How to Evolve
Ice coverage keeps opponents guessing about Regigigas's real targets. Leftovers provides passive recovery each turn while max HP and Sp. Def EVs and Careful nature handle the stat profile. Slowstart ties it together.
