Bulk and offense in one package. Regirock runs Leftovers for passive recovery each turn with a Adamant nature, so it survives long enough to threaten with Explosion. Max HP and Attack EVs and Normal and Fighting coverage make it hard to safely switch into.

The level-up pool is slim, so TMs matter here. Regirock's Normal and Fighting coverage and more all comes from technical machines, built on top of Rock Slide and Ancient Power for same-type damage. Explosion and Superpower are the payoff moves.
