The first set looks more usable. Netbattle? If not, you'll get more use out of Metal Claw.

Hi,Weezing.The second is more useable,IMO.Though Weezing stills owns it,except you
can survive with the second set.

YOur Registeel has high attack, low speed, and high speical defense. Right? Well the 1st set is rigth for it but get rid of hidden power and replace it with metal claw.

The first set raises the attack to make HP/metal claw more powerful and speical defense to withstand fire attacks.

the second set raises both defense. Then with Toxic you can slowly take your oppentant's Hp. Seismic Toss may be good but try something that it a bit more useful.

I myself perfur the good old tank when it comes to Registeel but the first one is a bit good and it goes great with this registeel stats.

Semsmic toss IS useful. It does 100 damage, not matter how high or low defences are.'Some move thats more useful' could only do 20- odd damage to a Dexoys leaf who used cp 6 times....

@ XL: Weezing can't even attack Registeel, so how does it beat it lol.

@ Zard: Registeel has very poor attack, and without its HP and Defences it will faint very easy. Curse makes up for its Atk and makes it 300+ Defence a bit higher.

Regi
EVs: 252 HP/ 200 Def/ 52 SpDef
~Amnesia
~Counter
~S Toss/Toxic
~Rest

After you amnesia up all they can do is attack your physical def and you counter it back for *Masive Damage*

rest to recover off the counter and S toss/Toxic to actually do something

T-bolt
Counter
Seismic Toss
Rest/Toxic

Why EVs in Defense, then? The damage would be even more supermassive with them in Special defense. This is a Registeel we're talking about; it's not like it'll get OHKOed by anything.

[husk1442]

but, we want it to take less than half health with the hit so its countering about 360 damage which will K.O. most things. Then you rest. Not a one hit wonder.

No one uses Sp.Atk's with anything Regi that isn't Regice, but when you said Smogon It explained everything.

i would definately say the first. even thou im kinda nu at competitive battling, considering which one i would less want to go against, it would be the first. plus, the second one wouldn't be much of a tank w/o rest AND toxic. as great as iron defense is, rest is better. teh first one would be much more useful to the rest of ur party, as the curse and rest combo will have even a very strong pokemon in your clutches in a few turns (as long as they don't have a powerful SE attack). either way, if u go up against a fire type, ur screwed but the first is a much better, considering it could even finish off skarmory (curse does more than toxic) and other very annoying pokemon.

[Alexander the great v2]

Toxic sucks, like hell, its only good on shukle and deoxys leaf....And Registeel is NOT a ghost, so curse powers up att/def and lowers spp, not like dusclops and curse....

[Dark Penguin]

o yeah - wat was i thinking? well, it was 12 am when i wrote that. but toxic isn't that bad, since it increases the damage each turn and guarentees ur death in at the most 7 turns. but mayb it isn't teh best chioce for registeel.....................stil, i like the first moveset better.

That set does work tho.
