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.

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...

Its stats are above-average, but power creep caught up with it quickly. It's bulky and strong, but not incredibly fast and has no recovery so it's worn down easily.

And yet it barely sees any usage because you have to dedicate so many resources to use it.
Plenty of people have won VGC tournaments with shitmons, that doesn't mean Pachirisu is suddenly a genuinely good Pokemon.
And to remind you, this is a legendary Pokemon that previously required the player to find 3 other legendaries in the previous gen and transfer them forward. You had to work real fucking hard to catch it, and got an absolute joke as a reward.

well, in the case of the g. zigzagoon line, the shiny is based on bowie instead of kiss, so they're both related via music. so ig it depends, i imagine the guy who designed hawlucha for instance also designed its shiny, since it's a heel. but probably most of them are just put together randomly with most having shit colors.
