With its massive Defense stat, respectable Special Defense and resistances to Normal, Flying and Fire moves, Regirock is a strong defensive Pokemon with a variety of support moves at its arsenal. With good bulk on both fronts, Regirock can be used to sponge attacks from a range of Pokemon, and threatening back with status or a damaging move off of its respectable Attack stat. Unfortunately, while Regirock's pure Rock typing is a great stop to some common offensive physical types, it also comes with a lot of common weaknesses. Special Attackers can also wear Regirock down quickly due to its lower Special Defense stat. Regirock also lacks a recovery move outside of Rest, so status ailments and entry hazards are a major annoyance that slowly chip it down. | With its massive Defense stat, respectable Special Defense and resistances to Normal, Flying and Fire moves, Regirock is a strong defensive Pokemon with a variety of support moves at its arsenal.

Stone Edge and Rock Slide are the obvious STAB moves, the former having good power while the latter having reliable accuracy. Thunder Wave is an excellent status move that cripples many offensive Pokemon, while Toxic is great for wearing down bulkier foes and is often Regirock's best option against Ground-types. Stealth Rock is an awesome entry hazard, and Regirock's huge bulk gives it opportunities to switch in and set it up. Earthquake has incredible coverage with Regirock's Rock-type STAB. | Stone Edge and Rock Slide are the obvious STAB moves, the former having good power while the latter having reliable accuracy.
