Regice in Gen VII had an awesome gimmick. Psychium Z -Gravity -Blizzard -Focus Blast -Thunder (Or Zap Cannon if you're feeling brave) Under Gravity, Blizzard, Thunder, and Focus Blast all have perfect accuracy. Z-Gravity in particular boost's Regice's Special Attack. Clear Body is particularly good in this case as you can avoid having to switch to clear stat drops from your singular boost. Though Ice Body paired well with Alolan Ninetails and Aurora Veil (turning RIce into an immortal tank for five turns). A good opening play would be; Turn One: Ninetails (A), Aurora Veil Regice, Z-Gravity Turn Two: Ninetails (A), Protect Regice, whatever move is super-effective on whatever's targeting Ninetails. Turn Three: Ninetails (A), Helping Hand (if Regi uses Blizzard), Fake Tears (if Regi single targets) Regice, focus on any threat, spread otherwise.

Also I remember most people played with the full 386 pokedex online even before FR/LG came out, so 200 was a niche metagame even back then so yeah I guess it was never really that good.

I've found Entei to be useful in Gen 6 Battle Maison, but then again, I was using Mega Salamence. Pretty much anything that can take care of its few counters would be great with that on the team. As for Regice, it was critical in my Emerald playthrough. Tate & Liza were an impenetrable brick wall (to this day, they remain the only gym leaders I've ever lost against). Grinding in Emerald is torture, so in desperation, I traded over my Regice from my Sapphire, and it not only turned Tate & Liza into a cakewalk with its ridiculous special defense and Icy Wind bringing that Xatu's speed down to something manageable, but it was also pretty great in the rest of the playthrough and even saw success in the Battle Frontier.

I'll try my hand at throwing out balance ideas for these guys: *Articuno* The most obvious and straight forward answer is to just take 30 points from its Attack and slap it onto its Sp. Atk. It looks the most gracile of the Legendary Birds and also has the smallest beak and the showiest feather patterns, all of which point to it definitely not relying on its physical stature to win battles. This change charges its mediocre 95 base Sp. Atk back up to its cranked Gen 1 era 125 Sp. Atk. Obviously not the most broken Legendary offense stat by far, but having some strong Ice Beams and Blizzards being thrown off of it in tandem with its not absolutely terrible base 85 Speed allows it to now put in some good offensive pressure and wrangle some niches out of higher competitive tiers. Alternatively, replacing Snow Cloak (yuck) with Snow Warning fits the theme of Articuno being the herald of winter while providing it with a much needed proactive and heavy duty ability. And come Gen 9, it even gives it a much appreciated Defense buff. This HA doesn't fit the theme of the other Legendary Birds' HAs, but to be fair, neither did Snow Cloak. It's this, or a 30% chance to freeze on contact. *Entei* Thankfully, none of the Legendary Beasts are _too_ underwhelming in terms of competitive. That means a stat change isn't really needed for Entei. I would previously say that an ability change is in order, but the buff to Inner Focus actually helps Entei out a lot, and I would say even makes a lot of thematic sense. A hulking, 7 feet tall, 500 lb beast no longer being affected by Intimidate just works. So what can even be changed about- Give 'em Bulk Up. And Earthquake. But mostly Bulk Up. Its special attacking buddies get Calm Mind, so it only makes sense for, might I remind you a 7 feet tall, 500 lb beast, to get its physical counterpart. These changes are mainly geared towards 6v6 Singles, by the way. *The Regis* Regirock, Regice, and Registeel could all be pushed up at least three tiers just by giving them Recover. Regice specifically could also use some special Flying type moves to align with wind, like Air Slash or even Hurricane. All just to give it Defog and thus the niche of hazard control. If its two brethren could be hazard setters, then why not give it at least the opposite role? As for Regigigas... that mon has went from being virtually devoid of public mention to "Please Rebalance this Mon"'s top hitter as of the recent years, so everything that needs to be said has pretty much been said. Change how Slow Start works, give it Slack Off, make Crush Grip a 200 bp super move against a full HP opponent, all that jazz. *Mesprit* Ah Mesprit. How the non-mighty have been nearly completely overshadowed by Gardevoir since their inception. If you're the middle ground between the moderately slow base 95 Speed Uxie and the Gen 4 speed-demon with base 115 Speed Azelf... _then why did Game Freak make you even slower than the slow mon and give you 80 base Speed?_ Azelf and Uxie have base 75 HP. So give Mesprit that as well. Then take five points from Mesprit's Attack, Defense, Sp. Atk, and Sp. Def and put them into its Speed instead. Base 100s across the board. But wait; add the extra 5 points we took from its HP and distribute it equally. Base _101s_ across the board (except for HP). Slightly less defensive than Mew, but very slightly more offensive. Weaker than the current Mesprit defensively and packs slightly less of a punch, but _it naturally outspeeds base 100s now._ Is that enough to make it high tier? Hell no. But at least it has a niche above Gardevoir now. And this is where I wish Mystical Power was better than it currently is. Recovery would also be pretty nice... Did you know the Lake Trio are supposed to be around Multiversal in power? *The base 90 offenses Swords of Justice* A fix I would offer is to... just introduce a Body Press-like mechanic a few gens early. Make it so that Sacred Sword goes off of your highest stat rather than just being Attack based. An Adamant, 252 Attack EV'd Virizion's Attack is about equal to its neutral Sp. Def with... 48 EVs invested. It's a _huge_ difference. And back in Gen 5, this would only affect the Swords of Justice. And with them being a quartet based off of having different specialized stats... it just makes sense. This would fix up the main weaknesses of Cobalion and Virizion lacking offensive oomph, and Terrakion would still be god incarnate due to its amazing coverage moves (called Stone Edge and Close Combat) anyways. Secret Sword might not exist, but that's fine imo since I imagine this version of Sacred Sword would still always go off of the target's Defense (like Secret Sword does). Additionally, I also imagine it still going off of the user's Attack boosts no matter what, so Swords Dance Keldeo might actually be a set in this what-if. *_10%!_** Zygarde* No way am I buffing any other (non-Mythical) Legendary in the region. And to buff this guy, I'm boosting its bst by a _very small_ amount. I don't know how Game Freak's math was mathing, but the difference between Zygarde 100%'s bst and Zygarde 50%'s bst isn't equal to the difference between 50%'s bst and 10%'s bst. And since the bst is so close to fulfilling that pattern, I'm going for it. Add a grand total of _6_ to its base Speed, to push it up to 121. This is actually a pretty good buff, as there are a lot of goblins gatekeeping the 115 - 120 Speed tier, like Iron Valiant, Cinderace, and Sneasler. I'm also making the executive decision to make Core Enforcer a physical move. It being special makes no sense other than for being consistent with the move's... animation. Go tell whoever designed the move to look at Sacred Fire. All of Zygarde's forms have more Attack than Sp. Atk, and every Zygarde form would love a nice 100 bp, no drawback Dragon move to spam after setting up some DDs. *Silvally* What's with Game Freak being scared of giving _Legendary Pokemon_ reliable recovery moves? Give it Recover or Slack Off, and its defensive niches are suddenly 10x more solid. It also should have had base 100 stats across the board, but that's been gone since the Multi-Attack buff came and went. Speaking of which, I wish the memory items actually boosted the power of certain types. Yeah, Multi-Attack got buffed to mimic that, but _what if we wanted to run a special attacking Silvally, Game Freak?_ Additionally, Silvally's stats are perfect for setup sweeping, but it doesn't even learn Nasty Plot. Or any Sp. Atk boosting move, for that matter, outside of _Work Up._ At this point, just give it base 105 in every other stat and base 45 Sp. Atk if Game Freak doesn't want it being a special attacker so bad. At least then it would have a focused stat spread. *Oh wow, another Regi!* Regidraco... I'm not even going to mention it. Look at what I gave the other regis. Apart from that, it also needs better coverage. The elemental fangs are... something, I guess. Like, at least give it Thunderbolt, Ice Beam, and Flamethrower. "But it's Dragon-type, why would it learn-" There are more than a handful of Dragon types learning Ice Beam. Regidraco, who could already learn Ice Fang, also learning Ice Beam won't break the Pokemon multiverse. It could also use a better physical Dragon type STAB, but that also applies to most other Dragon type mons. "Wo-chien* You already know what I'm going to say. Why can't this _Grass type snail_ learn Recover or at least Synthesis? I know its main playstyle is already degenerate enough, but my brother in Christ, ya'll made _Chi-Yu_ in the same quartet. Trust me when I say this slow, passive, Grass type, "I'm much better at Second Impressions" looking ahh would probably not snap the metagame in two by being just a bit better at its only job. Some other options are stuff like giving it Sleep Powder, but there's only so much degen you can put on a single mon. Since it learns Body Press, Iron Defense would have been a cool tech choice on it, being a snail and all.

Well maybe Entai will get lucky and their Paradox version, which I'm assuming they are getting because Suicoon and Raikou got ones, will be really good. Also, it's sad to hear that about the Regis, Ruby was my first game and I thought they were cool. Heck, Registeel was mostly responsible for me beating Steven, mainly because I was a stupid kid back then who thought the Elite 4 and Champion would be like the tournament Ash entered in the anime, so I would be allowed to heal between battles so I didn't stock up on Revies so when I finally got to Steven I only had three Pokemon left, my highest leveled Pokemon being my Secptile, Groudon, and Swellow were all out, leaving me with just my LV 44 Registeel, LV 43 Wailord, and LV 40 Hairyuama. Wailord only took down one of Steven's Pokemon before going down, as did Hairyuama but Hairyuama did more damage before going by using Whirl Wind to force out some of Ssteven's Pokemon and me also constantly healing it so I could max out my attack with Bulk Ups to hit hard. So it was basically all down to Registeel to beat four Pokemon and it did it, by me constantly healing it and maxing out my defense with Iron Defense, so I did cheese the win, but Registeel will still always have a place in my heart for helping me beat Steven.

Damn it I always love the worst competitive Pokémon most. The original Regis and the Beasts from Gen 2 are my favorites. Good thing I don't do competitive only filling Pokedex, shiny hunting and enjoying the main story. In playthroughs they're still good

Articuno, Regirock and Regice are all quite useful in gen 3 OU. Articuno is a spikes immune heal bell user, Regirock has a niche in some team structures since it's bulkier than Tyranitar and can explode, and Regice is a calm mind boltbeamer.

Fun fact: i used entei on my pokemon colloseum team and it was less useful than a fricking umbreon without baton pass... On the other hand, I tried getting medals for defeating champion with only monotypes and a fricking vanilluxe was better than rotom-ice

Entei got a huge buff in gen 8 with the changes to Inner Focus. It's a great check to Xerneas in VGC (Roar ignores protect) and its movepool is passable in doubles. It gets ignored still but it's more viable than it's ever been.

Type Null with eviolite is hella underrated
@tdarkhorse411 ай бұрын
type null i feel like is okay, only bc it has an albeit predictable and counterable, decently strong eviolite set that's pretty hard to get past in singles if your ghost types or knock off users are all gone.

Regice gets boltbeam and its myriad weakness make it a great weakness policy user. Regigigas may not be good, but its really fun to use. If it had a better ability, it'd be a lot more boring and it'd make a lot of other cool normal mons redundant.

Regice did have a niche in gen 3 OU at one point as an explosion lure for Blissey on special offense teams, and tho being a bit of a gimmick did give it a genuine place in OU for at least one generation while regi rock had nothing of the sort since even being uubl in gen 3 like it’s regi brothers it just can’t compete at all with other rock types
@trevorpacelli805611 ай бұрын
I could not disagree more with your assessment of Wo-Chien, in the times I've fought against it, it's given me so much grief with its Tablets of Ruin ability that cuts everyone's physical attack, and its use of Giga Drain/Leftovers/Leech Seed to replenish HP throughout the battle, being the first to arrive on the battlefield and the last to leave. It also can tera into a defensive type to remove its 4x weakness to bug. Wo-Chien is ultimately such a headache to remove and I'd argue it's even better in battle than Chien-Pao. I don't know if the paradox forms count as legendaries, but if they do, then I'd argue Iron Thorns is the worst in Gen 9. Bad defensive typing, underwhelming move pool, very difficult to figure out how to use in battle, in the few times I've fought against it it never really caused me any problems.

Some of my thoughts: I feel like Entei was used considerably more than Raikou was in Gen 8, I mean Sacred Fire and Extreme Speed were great moves for it. That being said Raikou will forever be my favourite Gen 2 Pokémon. I can imagine the Gen 3 Regi's would be much more viable if given their respective signature move and ability like their younger counterparts. I could imagine Rock having a rock-type version of Body Press. I mean it has a crazy 200 base defence. Virizion was pretty interesting in VGC in Gen 8. It was nasty with Beat Up support and smacked both Groudon and Kyogre. With an Assault Vest after maxing it took hardly anything from Ice Beam Kyogre. Finally my thoughts on Wo-Chien is that it's underrated. Honestly I don't think it's that bad, especially if you're using it for raids. I mean as a leech it's more or less immortal.

@@user-du8bq5et8r Suicune is arguably better in singles. Although I feel like it’s outclassed as a bulky water by Milotic. Milotic having competitive and recover gives it better longevity and offensive presence. Or at least in my opinion anyway. Entei imo seems really similar to Arcanine, just Arcanine’s access to intimidate makes it more defensive. I can’t deny though banded Entei smacks. (Not sure what utility Entei gets honestly…Snarl?)

Entei is viable in Gen 2 OU, since mons like Skarmory and Exeggutor are all over the place and Entei can hit them hard with Sunny Day/Fire Blast while keeping up the pressure with Rest Talk. Honestly, Moltes is usually better at this, but its bulk and lack of 4× Rock weakness can be better for some teams.
