You don't need Regigigas. The only Tera Pokémon in the meta that you'd need Gigas' numbers to reach are weak to Psychic - Greninja ex and Dragapult ex (once Clefairy is on your bench).

[u/Mattayama]

No, not anymore. Clef is good enough for pult and if you open Clef it’s nowhere near as gutting as if you open gigas

[u/Essex115]

No. I have not seen a single slowking build run regigigas.

[u/Kered13 → u/Essex115]

It was used before rotation. It helped deal with the other tera pokemon in the format.

[u/EcruteakEddie]

Only 5 Tera cards have more than 300HP

Cinderace ex

Dragapult ex

Flygon ex

Greninja ex

Hydreigon ex

The rest, you can take out with Metagross.

Greninja ex and Dragapult ex (using Clefairy ex) are weak to Psychic

The rest are not meta.

[u/EcruteakEddie]

Some lists include it but yeah, definitely wouldn't recommend.

I think Slowking can substitute for Lillie’s Clefairy because it gets rid of the 2-prize liability while also 1-shotting with Regigigas.

[u/Technical_Wrap283 → u/TheHawkeyeBird]

If you start with 'gigas' in active its absolutely terrible, and that's its main down point and why I'd choose clefairy.

[u/TheHawkeyeBird → u/Technical_Wrap283]

That’s true. But you can also retreat with Latias unless you brick so I guess that’s a fair trade off with not using Clefairy (since Clefairy can Telepath for Latias). I just feel that Clefairy is only useful for Dragapult and Raging Bolt but you can KO Raging Bolt with Haxorous or Metagross

[u/La_Ferrassie → u/TheHawkeyeBird]

You can also use Telepathic Energy with Clefairy which is huge.

regi is so u can present a 1 prize board vs pult, if u have kang in the deck it doesnt do anything
