[SET COMMENTS]

• Registeel is one of the bulkiest Pokemon in the tier, which affords it the opportunity to spam Thunder Wave in attempt to make up for its lackluster offensive pressure.
• Weak Fire-type attacks like Latias's Hidden Power Fire and Gengar's Fire Punch fail to 4HKO, meaning that Earthquake is the best way to hit it for super effective damage. It lures in Earthquake from Metagross, Tyranitar, and Snorlax and punishes them by OHKOing with Counter in return. However, this can be predicted, and whiffing a Counter leaves Registeel a sitting duck, so timing it well is vital.
• Seismic Toss allows Registeel to deal chip damage, which is helpful when paired with revenge killers like Raikou and Tauros. Explosion is a decent source of offensive pressure, as it OHKOes Zapdos even without offensive investment. However, Registeel is reliant on Explosion to pose any sort of immediate offensive threat, which is not an admirable trait in this fast-paced metagame.
• The given EV spread makes Gengar's Fire Punch a 5HKO on Registeel after Leftovers recovery.
• Registeel annoys common leads such as Latias, Metagross, and Gengar, though it far from hard counters them. It should be paired with a lead like Zapdos, Swampert, or Latias that makes up for its lack of offensive pressure. Slower Choice Band users like Heracross and Snorlax appreciate Thunder Wave support in order to facilitate sweeps or score safe hits on faster Pokemon.

• Registeel is one of the bulkiest Pokemon in the tier, making it a great user of Thunder Wave carving out a niche as a Thunder Wave support, as it can Paralyze multiple foes or burn through Lum Berries. Its bulk also means that weak Weak Fire-type attacks like Latias's Hidden Power Fire and Gengar's Fire Punch fail to 4HKO Registeel, meaning that Earthquake is the best way to hit it for super effective damage. This is what makes Registeel an excellent user of Counter, as it lures in Earthquakes from Metagross, Tyranitar, and Snorlax, and punishes them for OHKOs in return. However, this can be telegraphed, and whiffing a Counter leaves Registeel a sitting duck, so timing it well is vital. reflect prose to be more realistic about this barely ranked pokemon; is it a *great* thunder wave user (i guess...........), or an *excellent* counter user?
• Seismic Toss allows Registeel to deal consistent chip damage, which can be important if it is helpful when paired with revenge killers like Raikou or Tauros. Explosion is a decent source of offensive pressure, as it OHKOes Zapdos even without offensive investment. However, Registeel is reliant on Explosion to pose any sort of immediate offensive threat, which is not an admirable trait in this such a fast-paced metagame.
• The given EV spread makes Gengar's Fire Punch a 5HKO on Registeel after Leftovers recovery. wow
• Registeel works well as a lead since it annoys common leads such as Latias, Metagross, and Gengar, though it far from hard counters them. Pair it with a lead like Zapdos, Swampert, or Latias that makes up for its lack of offensive pressure like Zapdos, Swampert, or Latias. Choice Band users with middling speed tiers? explain why choice band users specifically like Heracross and Snorlax appreciate Thunder Wave support in order to facilitate sweeps.

There's no problems (besides Registeel being unviable), let's get this through. 2/2.
