what the fuck did he do to gamefreak to deserve this?
Abilities removed from game
he made those two fanfic regis, he gets what he fucking deserves
Stubborn tradition forced by some fogey higher-up probably thinks Regigigas would be "too broken" without Slow Start to any capacity whatsoever, even though powercreep makes it incredibly mundane nowadays even in hypothetical scenarios where it isn't burdened by Slow Start.

You missed a few steps, OP.
Nigga his only stat lower than 100 is sp atk. The only thing that does SE damage to him is fighting types. If Gengar has been a consistently good mon since gen 1, no one can say gigas wouldn't be a mainstay even with a mediocre ability as long as it's not a self-sabotaging one
It's a legendary. Who gives a shit if it's balanced? Especially in its introductory game, when it required you to transfer over a trio of Pokemon with a rather cryptic encounter method.
There may be a lore reason. The plates in DP have this legend that mentions "defeated giants" that may refer to the regis. Regigigas' Slow Start makes it seem like he was defeated in the past. The plates are used on Arceus. This is Arceus game...
It's literally just because of lore reasons.
PLA already retconned those Turner shitmons by only requiring Steel, Rock and Ice Plates to access Regigias kek

I love a lot of those ngl

He can actually make some good stuff, just his bad one's are beyond bad.
None of that is impressive compared to other legendaries you dunce. They made 0 effort to balance the other legendaries so why did they nerf this poor motherfucker so hard?
Regieleki is the best Regi though, excluding its name.
>Regigigas so bad it's untiered
>Mega Rayquaza so unbelievably broken that it had a tier created for it
>Smogon shit
Regigigas doesn’t count as a restricted, Rayquaza does. Its pretty explicitly meant to be treated like a normal Pokemon.
This and Zacian with one of the best type combinations and one of the most broken abilities of all time, but oh no not Regigigas Body Slams think o da chillins.
>cresselia is one of the best mons in all of VGC
>regigigas is a literal joke
It can be pretty dangerous when paired with Weezing
Regigigas won a Player's Cup last year with Weezing, so that's something.
That's the point of the thread retard, it's cruel letting Regigigas be treated the same way Shuckle is
Shuckle can be useful sometimes.
That kinda proves my point. Regigias is only usable when it loses its ability.
Is Regigigas slightly better now that Rest has been changed? Drowsy still allows it to move with a slight chance of wasting a turn, however it takes more damage.
