      Stalling the slow start is not really an option in vgc because the opponent can just focus down the regigigas’s opponent when regi protects and attack regi the turn after it protects. But Protect is still nice because of its importance in doubles in general.

      I've been doing this with a Slaking team, it's been a lot of fun. It's especially great if you're able to doodle an Intimidate, since it gives Intimidate to both Grafaiai and Slaking, triggering it twice and dropping the opponent's attack stats by 2 stages. Turn 1 I typically Bulk Up with Slaking and Taunt with Grafaiai, then turn 2 I Doodle with Grafaiai and start hammering away with Slaking's Drain Punches or Body Slams.

      This will be notable for gen 9 in that you can turn off the abilities of the ruin quartet, but you can't turn off paradox pokemon since they use the booster energy item.

    They became solid HO monsters under Tailwind since they got Sheer Force in Gen 5, but then the speed standards kept getting higher and higher since then, to the point that anything under 110 Spe is unusable nowadays unless you got bulk or less then 50 Spe for Trick Room, and thus you don’t see them much anymore (and that’s without mentioning restricted formats).

    Great video! Random thought, but it feels weird seeing Durant with Pelipper and Drifblim in a discussion about viability. Durant was never actually bad and could do something on occasion, very much unlike the other two; it was just very outclassed. Likewise, the main two bugs that shot it into the stratosphere in terms of viability were an indirect buff with Dynamax and a metagame which not only did not have mons directly outclassing its role, but also had few fire types outside of Arcanine

    I actually prefer to run Worry Seed on Prankster Whimsicott to shut off Slow Start, with the added bonus of sleep powder being shut down as well; it's a lot harder to deal with than just KOing a Weezing, and it had extra functionality outside of Regigigas, like stopping Coalossal etc

      @@LAIDDN24 yeah, I'm saying if it ever got more practical, cause sacrificing a slot on your team for a buff to one of them that could be chance not work at all is just a bit risky for it to be worthwhile as it stands, and thus, slow start will kill regigigas until it either gets lower to 3 or 4. And maybe even using a move to neutralize abilities for fun. I think neutralizing gas as an ability does but it only lasts until the wheezing is gone.

    As someone who really loves Regigigas' design, I was always diasspointed with how its ability completely nutered any usage it might have had. Was really stoked with SwSh to finally be able to use the big boi, plus Dynamaxing making Regigigas look as massive as I often imagine it should is perfect.
    If GF ever decides to throw Regigigas a bone, I've seen some interesting ideas where it could have Stall as an ability. So it can still hit hard, but only at the end of a turn, but also can take advantage of moves like Payback, Avalanch, and Revenge

      On March 26th 2022,
      just past midnight,
      I was laying restless in bed,
      and I had a heart attack.
      My arms became tingly and numb,
      then my chest got tighter,
      and then my heart felt like it was being crushed.
      So I sang out to God and Jesus,
      about my pain, my feelings,
      my faults and my inabilities.
      As I sang, I began to feel like a river,
      and His hand's fingers where skimming the surface,
      separating the waters,
      causing ripples through my body.
      Then His hand reached inside,
      and lit my heart on fire,
      the heat moved like waves through my body.
      When I was done singing,
      all the pain was gone,
      and I looked at the clock,
      it was past 1am,
      I had been singing near an hour.
      Then the voice of my guardian angel called my name from above,
      and there was a hymn of energy in the air,
      the same hymn I hear in my dreams of God.
      Hallelujah for the Lord my God!
      Hallelujah for His son Jesus!
      Hallelujah for every day!
      Hallelujah for every breath!

    Neutralising gas can easily back fire on slow start, because even if slow start has taken a turn or two as soon as weezing comes in that’s gone and as soon as it goes it starts at 5 again, not to mention if an intimate hits and then weezing, as soon as weezing goes the intimate hits again without the opponent ever needing to switch, even worse, if its intrepid sword activates first, and then weezing hits the field, and then it dies, intrepid sword will activate again, if people think +1 Zacian is scary, imagine a +2, it’s not even that rare unless you always lead with weezing
