Shaymin, hands down. Regular is already fairly okay, but Sky Form is nothing short a complete beast. STAB 120-base power move with 80% chance of dropping SDef two stages? Stab Air Slash (with 60% flinch rate)? Look no further. Even regular Shaymin can pull off a decent special hammering with Seed Flare, and gets some other useful options. Not stellar; but far better than gigas.

Regigigas, on the other hand, is a big, stinking can of phail if ever there was one, simply because he has a trait even makes Truant look okay in comparison. There is simply no way you can keep that thing in for five turns against anyone competent without having it run over. It's just. Too. Slow. The only option is running some kind of lukewarm special attack set, but there are lots of other pokémon who do that far better already. D:

So yeah, unless you're in double battle and can get rid of that god-awful trait with Trouble Seed, Gastroacid, or Skill Swap then you might as well forget about Regigigas. :<

Yep. You summed it up perfectly.
I'm good with Sky Shaymin as long as it doesn't make Togekiss BL D=

...You honestly think somebody who knows what they're doing will actually use those moves in a competitive battle??

Okay, this just got incredibly ridiculous.

Nobody in their right mind is going to use moves like Bind or Fire Spin and expect to win, so no, I didn't forget. Besides, if they do, they probably don't know about EV training or anything and are going to lose regardless.

Yes, but there are people who aren't in their right mind on wi-fi.
there are also people that rely on strategy mainly and only keep moves for the secondary effect.
whatever, i think its pointless that i was complaining about shaymin.
after all, the opponent could have anything to retaliate against shaymin,it was stupid for me to predict what the foe could have against it.
but i think celebi would just fit a little bit better.
Even though it has more weaknesses, it has a wider movepool and equal stats to shaymin, and its possible to get it legally(trade with a japanese person on wi-fi, since it was only available in japan).
 
Shaymin. Shaymin is my favorite and i just like it better. Regigigas i like but not for me. Slow start phails.
 
shaymin..... shaymin....... OMG SHAYMIN
Shaymin owns Regigigas. its like,
i have a shaymin and regigigas, and regigigas is pretty weak...:\
 
All Shaymin really has to do is: A Good Calm Mind since the slow start. Leech Seed, Seed Flare. Should be basically close to death.
