Strategy Overview

Registeel acts as an important wall in RU thanks to its excellent mono-Steel typing and amazing 80 / 150 / 150 bulk, allowing it to wall threats that present problems to stall and balance teams like Exploud, Meloetta, Mega Glalie, Abomasnow, Venusaur, and Fletchinder. It also boasts a solid support movepool, including Stealth Rock, Thunder Wave, and Toxic. However, Registeel suffers from weaknesses to common types in Ground, Fire, and Fighting and has horrible offensive presence, needing to rely on Toxic and Seismic Toss to do damage. This allows Pokemon like Flygon, Flame Orb Sigilyph, and Emboar to come in on Registeel with relative ease and start firing off attacks or set up or remove entry hazards. Finally, Registeel's low offensive presence makes it bait for status-resilient setup sweepers such as Virizion, and Pokemon that can make 101 HP Substitutes, like Braviary and Meloetta.
