I'd probably shit myself. Depending on what move it's stuck on, it would seriously be too big of threat and wouldn't have many counterplay. Instant Ubers and maybe even AG.

Giga Impact + Two Choice Bands since Slaking is already fast.

I don't think anyone could live that outside of Ghost types or Quad resists to normal.

Maybe a Stamina alt where it boosts a random stat each time it gets hit.

Whenever I see Regigigas, I'm reminded of a Gen 6 video I saw of a guy facing a hacker online. That hacker only had 1 Pokemon, but it was a Regigigas with Parental Bond and Leftovers running Rock Polish, Power-Up Punch, Knock Off, and some fourth move that was never shown because it got KO'ed. I thought it was interesting; it felt like one of the gimmick Wi-Fi boss fights DQM: Joker 2 had sometimes.

His stats are fine as they are.

Abilities could be.

Continental Walker: Boosts the STAB of any Normal/Ice/Steel/Rock type moves by 1.3x

Determinism: At 50% His Attack and Speed Double. (Reverse of Defeatist)

I like this Parental Bond idea.

>Golem Master: Depending on what item Regigigas is holding, Each attack will be followed up by a lesser attack with the corresponding type.

>Any Ice boosting item does a ice type attack
>Any Steel boosting item does a steel type attack
>Any Rock boosting item does a rock type attack
>Any Normal boosting item does a normal type attack which is still boosted by STAB

>If he doesn't hold any items or not an item which works in the ability, it works as Parental Bond.

Sure.
Snorlax's name literally has "lax" in it. It's relaxed because it gets lazy after eating.

It's just as different as Magnemite/Klink, Muk/Garbodor, Golem/Gigalith and Machamp/Conkeldurr. Like, don't get me wrong here, I like Slaking. I'm just saying all those other guys get shit on as if they're "unoriginal" when it's completely okay to do a different take on a similar concept.

No ability Slaking is already really damn good, Gorilla Tactics is a free ticket to Ubers. Probably wouldn't go AG though, the speed tier and exploitable Fighting weakness / special bulk means you can at least 1v1 it with a decent number of Ubers even if you're never switching in cleanly.

Assuming you're using the damage calculator on showdown's site to figure that out: gorilla tactic's damage boost isn't actually coded into that yet so the damage is the same as if it were a normal truant slaking. closest we can get is a choice banded slaking to simulate it with no item like what >>41841280 did
