With its nigh-unresisted STAB combination after Mega Evolving, incredible Speed tier, and useful utility options, Regieleki is one of Mix and Mega's most reliable offensive pivots and cleaners. Extreme Speed with Glalitite or Pinsirite gives Regieleki an Ice-type coverage move or Flying-type STAB attack, allowing it to threaten Pokemon like Arceus-Ground, Great Tusk, and Clodsire that would otherwise completely wall it and revenge kill setup sweepers like Dragonite. Explosion is a great one-time nuke that lets Regieleki to potentially OHKO Pokemon like Calm Mind Arceus formes and give a partner a safe switch in. Rapid Spin allows Regieleki to support teammates like Dragonite by removing entry hazards, but Supercell Slam can be for opted instead, giving Regieleki a powerful physical Electric-type STAB move against Pokemon looking to switch into Volt Switch like Solgaleo and Ho-Oh. The given EVs allow Regieleki to outspeed opposing Altarianite Regieleki. Regieleki can oftentimes struggle to muscle through physically defensive walls like Lunala and Arceus-Poison, so Pokemon like Arceus-Ground, Landorus, and Raging Bolt who can threaten these Pokemon are helpful. Pokemon like Urshifu-R, Galarian Zapdos, and Raikou can form powerful VoltTurn cores with Regieleki, as they threaten Pokemon like Great Tusk and Arceus that Regieleki can struggle against; in return, Regieleki can help chip away at Pokemon like Dragonite and Raging Bolt. While generally outclassed by Altarianite Regieleki, running Pinsirite or Glalitite on Regieleki is most common to free up a teammate like Dragonite or Hisuian Arcanine to run Altarianite. Regieleki's weaker Ice-type coverage means it is more reliant on Explosion and its Electric-type attacks to dent foes, but it has better overall coverage on most threats. Pinsirite Regieleki's Flying typing makes it more vulnerable to Stealth Rock, but its more powerful Extreme Speed easily punishes common Pixilate switch-ins like Galarian Slowking and Red Orb Landorus.

With its unresisted STAB combo after Mega Evolving, (AC) and incredible Speed tier, (AC) and useful utility options, Regieleki is one of Mix and Mega's most terrifying and threatening offensive pivots and cleaners This is overselling it a little bit, maybe swap adjectives to something milder, it's good but definetly not the best. Extreme Speed with Glalite Glalitite gives Regieleki an Ice-type STAB and allows it to threaten Pokemon like Arceus-Ground, Great Tusk, and Landorus Clodsire Landorus always carries Red Orb, making it neutral to Ice-type moves, it also isn't 2hkoed by Espeed who would otherwise completely wall it I would also mention that it allows Regieleki to snipe frailer targets, since its mostly used to check frail sweepers. Explosion is a great one-time nuke, allowing Regieleki to potentially OHKO and give a partner a safe switch in Mention that it threatens bulky set-up sweepers such as CM Arceus formes and such. Rapid Spin allows Regieleki to support its team by removing entry hazards while also dealing a small amount of damage Damage is often negligible, but Supercell Slam can be opted for instead, giving Regieleki a powerful physical Electric-Type STAB Mention that it targets walls looking to switch into Volt Switch. The given EVs allow Regieleki to outspeed opposing Altarianite Regieleki. Regieleki oftentimes can struggle to muscle through physically defensive walls like Corviknight Lunala Corviknight really dislikes tanking Volt Switch and Garganacl, so Pokemon like Gouging Fire, Great Tusk, and Landorus who can threaten these Pokemon are helpful. Pokemon like Urshifu-R, Galarian Zapdos, and Raikou can form a powerful VoltTurn core with Regieleki Elaborate on this a little, which walls do they pressure, why do they benefit from each other.

Mention somewhere as well that Glalitite is mostly used to allow an ally to carry Altarianite, which is often the preferred Mega Stone otherwise.

With its unresisted STAB combo after Mega Evolving (sorry boltbeam is actually resisted by a couple things like magnezone and any of the 4 viable electric types with red orb, can reword to nigh unresisted or smth good or just say classic elecice), incredible Speed tier, and useful utility options, Regieleki is one of Mix and Mega's most reliable offensive pivots and cleaners. Extreme Speed with Glalitite or Pinsirite gives Regieleki an Ice-type STAB Coverage (glalitite doesn't give Ice-type so its not STAB, it just gives the Refrigerate boost, in comparison to pins or alt the stab difference is very noticable) or Flying-type STAB and allows it to threaten Pokemon like Arceus-Ground, Great Tusk, and Clodsire who would otherwise completely wall it as allowing it to revenge kill setup sweepers like Dragonite. Explosion is a great one-time nuke, allowing Regieleki to potentially OHKO Pokemon like Calm Mind Arceus formes and give a partner a safe switch in. Rapid Spin allows Regieleki to support its team by removing entry hazards, but Supercell Slam can be for opted instead, giving Regieleki a powerful physical Electric-Type STAB against Pokemon looking to swap into Volt Switch like Solgaleo or Ho-Oh. The given EVs allow Regieleki to outspeed opposing Altarianite Regieleki. Regieleki oftentimes can struggle to muscle through physically defensive walls like Lunala and Garganacl, so Pokemon like Gouging Fire , Great Tusk (both gf and gt dont really like lunala or garg as lunala packs ib and garg runs pins or lati pretty commonly, id try to just throw another special attacker here as these two being described as threats to the previous two just feels misleading) (EDIT: ngl even rorb lando is cooked by aforementioned ground immune garg's {bar gravity lando} i'd consider changing garg to arceus-poison or smth), and Landorus who can threaten these Pokemon are helpful. Pokemon like Urshifu-R, Galarian Zapdos, and Raikou can form a powerful VoltTurn core with Regieleki, as they threaten Pokemon like Great Tusk and Arceus that Regieleki can struggle against while Regieleki can in return help chip away at Pokemon like Dragonite and Raging Bolt. Thanks to not having to run Altarianite, Regieleki allows Pokemon like Dragonite and Husian Arcanine to instead run it. it's no secret that Alt Regieleki is spammed in this tier, so i'd word this more like: Running Pinsirite or Glalitite on Regieleki is most common to open up a teammate like Dragonite or Hisuian Arcanine to run Altarianite. then talking about what makes the two different should also be added, though it doesn't have to be here at the end, it could go before the teammate suggestions: Pinsirite's added Flying-typing makes it more prone to Stealth Rock, but it's more powerful Extreme Speed's easily punish common Pixilate switch-ins like Slowking-Galar and Red Orb Landorus. Glalitite weaker Ice coverage means it is more reliant on Explosion and its Electric-type attacks to dent opponents and is therefore more inconsistent, but still offers the same utility through hazard removal and +2 priority.

With its nigh unresisted nigh-unresisted STAB combo combination after Mega Evolving, incredible Speed tier, and useful utility options, Regieleki is one of Mix and Mega's most reliable offensive pivots and cleaners. Extreme Speed with Glalitite or Pinsirite gives Regieleki an Ice-type coverage move or Flying-type STAB attack, (comma) and allows allowing it to threaten Pokemon like Arceus-Ground, Great Tusk, and Clodsire who that would otherwise completely wall it as allowing it to and revenge kill setup sweepers like Dragonite. Explosion is a great one-time nuke, (comma) allowing Regieleki to that lets Regieleki potentially OHKO Pokemon like Calm Mind Arceus formes and give a partner a safe switch in. Rapid Spin allows Regieleki to support its team (maybe you could replace "support its team" with "support teammates like" and give examples of Pokemon that hate hazards) by removing entry hazards, but Supercell Slam can be for opted instead, giving Regieleki a powerful physical Electric-Type Electric-type STAB move against Pokemon looking to swap switch into Volt Switch like Solgaleo or and Ho-Oh. The given EVs allow Regieleki to outspeed opposing Altarianite Regieleki. Regieleki can oftentimes can struggle to muscle through physically defensive walls like Lunala and Arceus-Poison, so Pokemon like Arceus-Ground, Landorus, and Raging Bolt who that can threaten these Pokemon foes are helpful. Pokemon Teammates like Urshifu-R, Galarian Zapdos, and Raikou can form a powerful VoltTurn core cores with Regieleki, as they threaten Pokemon like Great Tusk and Arceus that Regieleki can struggle against while Regieleki can in return against; in return, Regieleki can help chip away at Pokemon like Dragonite and Raging Bolt. Running Pinsirite or Glalitite on Regieleki is most common to open free up a teammate like Dragonite or Hisuian Arcanine to run Altarianite. Pinsirite's added Flying-typing Pinsirite Regieleki's Flying typing makes it more prone vulnerable to Stealth Rock, but it's its more powerful Extreme Speed's Speed easily punish punishes common Pixilate switch-ins like Slowking-Galar Galarian Slowking and Red Orb Landorus. Glalitite Regieleki's weaker Ice Ice-type coverage means it is more reliant on Explosion and its Electric-type attacks to dent opponents foes and is therefore more inconsistent, but it still offers the same utility through of hazard removal and +2 priority. (you make it sound like Glalitite is worse here, but it's slashed first on the set?)
