Regigigas / Wyrdeer

Why this deck is in this tier

The deck is built around a proven Regigigas damage-scaling core with strong bulk and healing. Very durable, but hard-countered by retreat-cost strategies and certain burst decks.

Strengths (key points)

• Regigigas can reach very high damage numbers thanks to missing HP scaling.
• Wyrdeer enables precise, controlled max HP manipulation.
• Extremely tanky with Rocky Helmet.
• Healing (Pokémon Center Lady) enables fine damage control.
• Proven competitive viability (Master Ball rank).

Weaknesses (to watch)

• Hard-countered by retreat-cost based decks.
• Vulnerable to direct one-shots.
• Misleading card text on Regigigas (it scales on missing HP, not damage taken).
• Setup can be slow without an early Regigigas.
• Incorrect healing timing reduces damage output.

Other A Tier decks

• Zoroark ex / Darkrai ex / Mega Absol ex
  Very good deck, with Roaring Moon acting like an extra “Sabrina” effect on top of a Supporter, but its anti-Oricorio plan can require a lot of energy.
• Mega Manectric ex / Zeraora / Oricorio
  Deck very aggressive, with Zeraora to start quickly and Elemental Switch to accelerate Mega Manectric ex. Its main limit is that it becomes less comfortable if it cannot take an early point.
• Mega Lucario ex / Hitmontop / Shaymin
  Deck very aggressive, with a lot of draw and Shaymin to ease Riolu or Hitmontop retreats. Its main weakness is draw dependency, since there is only one Lucario and one Mega Lucario ex.
• Magnezone / Oricorio / Ogerpon
  Very strong against the meta thanks to Oricorio + Ogerpon blocking status conditions, with fast pressure from Magnezone. However, it relies on evolution setup.
• Charizard EX / Entei / Ogerpon
  Very fast offensive deck with strong pressure from Charizard EX and Entei, but setup-dependent and vulnerable to bad openings.
• Mega Gengar / Darkrai
  Extremely strong once set up thanks to trainer lock, but relies on a slow and fragile setup.
