They take the greatest effort to get but are the worst competitively to use.

They’re getting a bit silly with it. They NEED it to be powerful, but only in a certain way, but also not too powerful or it’s also awful and needs to be removed. They really think they’re an official format with how they cry that shit is trash or not

Bro the regis are ass on the fucking kiddy mode story mode. They just genuinely suck as mon. Run them in the elite 4 and you'll be hard pressed to get through without revive and healing spam.

they are also the easiest fight in the Battle Frontier

registeel's at least usable in singles, as in it's used enough in any normal smogon format to not have fallen into the abyss of neverused/PU/zeroused over the generations
OU viability not guaranteed however
probably because monosteel is one of the few good types to have as a mon's only type
and 80/150/150 bulk is pretty good for a non-box legendary

The original Regis all excel at defense, which makes them lame in a single player party.
Regigigas was punished by God, and his Ability tragically reflects that.
Eleki and Drago however are crazy powerful. Maybe future giants will follow the trend...

He is literally a pet rock in a universe full of magic animals and mythical creatures, Gamefreak just said, "Here's some cool puzzles. Completing the puzzles successfully is your prize moreso than the pokémon."
Making the regis exceptionally good would've made kids feel bad for not actually discovering how to get them.

Pokefags are very hypocritical.
Cry over Tyranitar and Garchomp being powercreep victims but the very moment it happens to a Pokemon that isn't beloved people crucify it and make snarky remarks like "in what, PU?" when someone suggests the Pokemon still has a niche.

It's hard to discuss certain Pokemon without some fag mentioning everything bad about it because that's exactly what it feels like with Camerupt and most fossil Pokemon.

Being bad in competitive playing doesnt make a pokemon bad by itself. Smogon rules and showdown ban a lot of gameplay mechanics and even more importantly make every hidden power type you desire accessible. That makes cp as an indicator for how good a pokemon is completely worthless imho. And even if I give it some credit the only gen that matters regarding battle viablility is the gen a pokemon was introduced in. the regis are very good in gen 3 IF you actually know how to use them. The regi trio being weak since their introduction of a lot of players that are just bad at the game. I would even go so far as to say if you actually play the original games without cheats or battle simulators during gen 3 the regis are the bst regional legendary trio by far. Mostly because they dont need hidden power to get a good moveset. Evaluating a pokemon based on the assumption you can get the perfect hp for all of your mons is absurd. The best way to evaluate the battle power of a mon are battle facilities imo because they use all gameplay mechanics as they are and ai opponents never use hidden power. Zapdos for example would only have electric moves for special attacks. awful. moltres needs solarbeam or it would have only fire moves. awful. raikou and entei do have a special movepool outside stabs to some extent but the type coverage is very bad. the regis movepools are awesome if you sue tms and hms which you should. Never evaluate a pokemon just by its level up movepool. They are bad most of the time. As for ingame againt elite 4 - slow mons just dont work well here because ingame is not a fair format. Your team would need to get fully healed before every fight. and even there at least regice is very good. But overall skilled players can make most pokemon work out in some way if they like them a lot and research them well. The only true problem the regi trio has is powercreep and thats not their fault.
