Regigigas Guide
In Sword & Shield, Regigigas is a Legendary Pokemon rated B-Tier. At 670 BST, it hits hard. It excels as a wall. Protect with Leftovers is the standard set.
In Sword & Shield, 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.
In Sword & Shield, Regigigas fills the wall 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.
In Sword & Shield, the best way to handle Regigigas: Status moves (Toxic, Will-O-Wisp) wear it down. Setup sweepers can use it as a boost opportunity. Special attackers bypass its physical bulk.
