>>40194902this kills the character of slow start - the idea is that regigigas is a powerhouse that you can't immediately use to wreck shit, but 160 atk and 100 speed right off the bat is definitely enough to wreck shit
instead, i propose that regigigas starts with -3 in atk/spa/spe, but gains +1 in each every turn
this increases the starting punishment, but in exchange lowers the time it takes for regigigas to get strong and allows regigigas to go further than just its base stats - the latter of which makes its lack of access to protect/rest/etc actually excusable
if that's too much, though, maybe cap how much its stats can rise to +2 or +1
