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.
All over the world, there are legends that tell of Regigigas creating other Pokémon in its own image.
It’s said that Regigigas created other Pokémon from many different materials before it moved the continents to where they are today.
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
This build takes hits and hits back. Leftovers provides passive recovery each turn, Slowstart supports the gameplan, and max HP and Attack EVs mean Regigigas doesn't crumble to chip damage. Plus Ground coverage backing it up.
