Today im overviewing regieleki
Also yes, regieleki was nerfed but that didnt stop it from getting banned from ou
the flash (Regieleki) @ Life Orb
Ability: Transistor
Tera Type: Electric
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Substitute
- Tera Blast
- Thunderbolt
- Volt Switch
Firstly im gonna describe this nerf
So basically Regieleki's ability Transistor used to boost Electric-type attack power by 1.5x
+STAB means all electric type attacks had double STAB, and plus tera electric this would be broken, having 2.5x STAB on electric attacks
Basically it was a free Choice Specs without the choice
Regieleki was banned before the showdown staff found out about this nerf, but even with the nerf it did really well in Ubers so they kept it there
Now, Transistor boosts Electric-type attacks by only 1.3x, now basically a free Life Orb without taking the extra damage (Regidrago's ability Dragon's Maw still does 1.5x tho)
This is still broken with tera electric tho
Time to go over the set
Regieleki has the highest base speed in the game, with 200 base speed, but you still want to maximize your speed because 1.) other regieleki and 2.) Choice Scarf runners
252 SpAtk to maximize damage as well
4 HP is honestly just there
Regieleki is really fast and hits really hard with its ability + tera electric, but it is extremely frail which is why Substitute is there
Life Orb boosts damage even more, so with tera Electric you have 2.6x damage on Electric-type attacks IF my math is correct
Time to put some stuff in the calcs
Dondozo an issue?
(this calc also takes in consideration Life Orb and STAB it just doesnt show it cuz my screen is too small)
R E G I E L E K I
Ive already been over why tera Electric is broken
Thunderbolt for STAB
Volt Switch for STAB and pivot
Tera Blast for tera action (and STAB when tera'd)
Timid boosts Speed and lowers Attack
In conclusion
Regieleki is broken
Use it
(just not in OU cuz its banned)
