<p> Registeel is a Pokemon that could easily have been passed over during the course of even the most dutiful team buildings. It has weak offenses and mediocre typing in addition to no healing options. As such, it made a poor wall. But what if you were to use a move seldom used in the metagame, Swagger? Swagger buffs the enemy's attack by 2 stages, and the confuses them. This can make even the strongest Pokemon falter as they hit their own defensive stat with their beefed up attack one. Next up is the Paralysis move of your choice, used to both cut speed and fully paralyze them. Thunder Wave gives you a guaranteed paralysis on non grounds, whilst Zap Cannon gives you a way to deal with Gyarados and Skarmory, all while causing some special damage to things that resist Iron Head. Iron Head is used not only for reliable STAB and damage, but also for the fact that it causes flinches. Overall, the chance of them successfully attacking you is amazingly low. But even if they DO attack you, it does no particular harm, as you'll be hiding safely behind the cushion of your substitute.</p>
<p>The EVs provided suffice for perfectly equal defenses, as Registeel has perfectly equal stats, after all. Choose the nature you'd like, and get to it. While nothing flat out beats you, some things (Such as Raikou) can come in and set up on you if you mispredict. Regardless, there are many ways to deal with the few outside threats, and this Registeel will be a thorn in any team's side, providing shuffling abilities, paralysis, and flinching/confusion damage.</p>
