Regirock got the short end of the stick: its specially based counterpart, Regice, is weak to a single rare special type, whereas Regirock is weak to Earthquake, Brick Break, and Meteor Mash. Even with a Choice Band, Registeel simply lacks power--its only threatening move is Explosion, and even that doesn't faze Skarmory.Moreover, Regirock is generally superior as it has a higher Attack stat. Regirock is Genderless: Classification: Height: Weight: Capture Rate: Base Egg Steps: Rock Peak Pokémon: 5'07" 1.7m: 507.1lbs 230kg: 3: 20,480 View strategies and more for Regirock on the Smogon Strategy Pokedex. Regice is Genderless: Classification: Height: Weight: Capture Rate: Base Egg Steps: Iceberg Pokémon: 5'11" 1.8m: 385.8lbs 175.0kg: 3: 20,480 With Head Smash and a very respectable Attack stat, the only thing stopping Aggron from plowing through teams is its poor Speed.
Regirock is equipped with an enormous movepool, but unfortunately it is flooded with underwhelming options. Regirock's immense physical bulk and useful resistances to Normal-, Flying-, and Poison-type attacks from common Pokemon such as Kangaskhan, Oricorio-E, and Skuntank allow it many opportunities to cripple foes with Toxic or support its teammates by setting up Stealth Rock. Overview. Ice Beam forces Zapdos out by threatening to OHKO it under sand.
Set Description. Registeel has the advantage of being able to take Water-type attacks, but as it can't take down the Water-types it can switch into, this makes little difference.
This does not hamper it as much as you might believe, however, as even an uninvested Regirock can survive Adamant Choice Band Medicham 's High Jump Kick. A RestTalk set can be used to compensate for Regirock's lack of recovery and, when paired with Curse, can be a decent mono-attacker with Rock Slide; however, Regirock's common weaknesses can make this difficult to execute.
