Double/Triple Battle Sun Sweeper

Regigigas @ Leftovers
Ability: Slow Start
EVs: 200 HP / 252 Atk / 56 Spe
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SpA)
- Fire Punch
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Frustration / Retaliate

Team up with Leavanny. Use Entrainment. Regigagas now has Chlorophyll. You can then set up Sunny Day with Leavanny or have had a previous Pokemon such as the great Whimsicott do it before. Regi is incredibly powerful, incredibly bulky, and now is Ninjask level fast. It can also hit multiple foes with Rock Slide and Earthquake. Fire Punch is coverage that gets boosted by Sun. Frustration is STAB, although Retaliate can be used since Leavanny won't last long.

I guess frustration works better than return because Regigigas dies so often. Stupid Nerf of an ability. Archeops got roost to deal with Defiant. Why can't Regigigas get protect or something?

He got protect in Sw/Sh!!!
Regigigas @ Leftovers
Regigigas
Ability: Slow Start
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 HP
Jolly Nature

• Protect
• Substitute
• Knock Off
• Crush Grip

Turn 1: Protect. Turn 2: Let them hit you and use Substitute. Turn 3: Protect. Turn 4: Use Knock Off or Crush Grip while they break your sub. Turn 5: Protect. Now slow start is over. Crush Grip is strong STAB that works when they are at high HP so you can OHKO, and Knock Off is coverage that gets rid of their item.

Gen 8

Regigigas

Regigigas @ Leftovers
Ability: Slow Start (Ugh)
EVs: 252 HP / 104 Atk / 76 Def / 76 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Avalanche
- Revenge
- Facade
- Earthquake / Fire Punch

Well, you've got Slow Start. Might as well make use of it? Regigigas still has 210 Atk with this set. Not terrible. There aren't any EVs in Speed because then Avalanche will still work most of the time.

Since you're going with a "hit second, but harder" moveset, why not swap out Facade for Payback as well? Running Payback would also give you coverage against Ghost and Dark.

Gen 8 VGC

Regigigas @ Life Orb
Ability: Slow Start (no problem)
EV spread: 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 HP
Adamant / Jolly Nature

  • Giga Impact
  • Superpower / Protect
  • Knock Off
  • High Horsepower / Protect

Partner

Weezing @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Neutralizing Gas
EV spread: 252 HP / 8 Def / 248 SpD
Calm Nature

  • Sludge Bomb
  • Taunt
  • Will-O-Wisp
  • Protect

Simple. Bring out Weezing and Regigigas together. Gigas Impact is used over Body Slam because it's stronger when Dynamaxed. Superpower for an Attack boost in Dynamax, Knock Off to hit ghosts and remove their item. High Horsepower over Earthquake because its a single-target move that doesn't hit your ally. Also there's a nearly nonexistent 5 BP difference between the two moves.

In doubles, you could make A pokemon like trevenant use skill swap on regigigas then use it again on the opposing pokemon then bam, Attack and speed get reduced then sweep :)

Too many stall moves can make it predictable, it's best to have some other move like fire or thunderpunch

It's not a bad idea to use Regigigas in a double battle alongside Iron fist Pangoro, then have Pangoro use entrainment to really give the colossal Pokemon an ability it can be proud of!

Iron fist boosts punching attacks by 20%, since Regigigas has access to quite a few of these in ORAS it can be very useful indeed!

Regigigas @ Life Orb
Ability: Slow Start
EVs: 252 Atk / 160 Spe / 96 HP
Adamant Nature

  • Drain punch (recovery)
  • Thunder punch (awesome!)
  • Fire Punch (wicked!)/Dizzy punch (STAB)
  • Ice Punch (Bring down those dragons!)

Regigigas @Assault vest
Ability: Slow Start
EVs: 252Hp, 252Attack OR 252hp, 252def
Nature: adamant or brave (brave if in a trick room)
-Return/ Façade
-Power Up Punch
-Drain Punch
-Knock Off
Description: Regigigas, my favorite larger legendary! His ability is still as awful as always but there are ways to work with it, but rather than use skill swap in vgc/ doubles, or turn to stall tactics in singles/ smogon rules, I've tried out a set that utilizes some new items and moves in generation 6. To start, make sure that powerful physical and/or fighting types on the opponents team are crippled by trick room/ ailments or just flat out KO'ed, and switch Regigigas in. With an Assault vest equipped, regigigas obtains an obscene amount of sp bulk (110/110/110 defenses aren't shabby even without the vest) at the cost of his non-attacking moves (thus, his stalling power). But by taking advantage of gen 6's new move power up punch, Regigigas can raise his attack stat naturally and after two hits (which would put him at +2, or 2.0X attack), slow starts attack drop is effectively nullified. The fun begins however, when 5 turns do pass and regigigas returns to normal, then you have a +2 to +5 uber level Pokémon rampaging through an opponents team, which is quite the sight let me tell ya'... Façade can be used over return for Stab as façade allows regigigas to muscle past burns (since façade ignores the burns attack drop in gen 6) and a base 140 power (70 without an ailment, not counting stab on either) attack is surely gonna annihilate something should slow start end, though return obviously brings more power immediately. Drain punch is so Regigigas can heal himself while trying to sweep, while I understand that two fighting moves is terrible for coverage reasons, they both serve different purposes on Regigigas and must be accepted for this set to function at all. Finally, Knock off is for crushing ghost types as well as supporting the rest of your team should regigigas go down (a foe without an item is an easier foe to take down in the long run.). This set has flat out destroyed opponent teams for me in PU (which is where regigigas is currently) sometimes 6 to 0ing them without a single Pokemon of mine fainting! Although strong if allowed to set up, this set is weak to powerful physical attackers (especially fighting types), and while facade can combat burns, regigigas still hates ailments, as well as phazing, and ghost types who stop him from setting up his Power Up Punches. Overall though if you stop his counters and are mindful about opposing roar users, Regigigas just might surprise you and leave your opponent slack jawed!

Regigigas has arguably the worst ability in the game. Let's see how we can get around that.

Regikickas
@Weakness policy
252 Atk 252 Speed 4 Def
Jolly/Adamant

Endure
Earthquake
Endeavour
Zen headbutt

Endure helps keep him alive and supercharges Endeavour, Earthquake is to deal with rock and steel types who resist Endeavour, Zen headbutt covers his only weakness and weakness policy nearly negates his ability. Baton passed stat boosts could really help. And wish.

I didn't see any sets here that I liked, So I made my own:
Regigigas @Life Orb
Adamant Nature
252 Atk 200 HP 56 Spe
Trait: Slow Start
Drain Punch ( Stab, Steal some HP )
Knock off ( Knock off the opponents item, so no life orb leftovers, assult vest, etc. )
Ice punch ( Stab, Tame those Dragons! )
Block/Rock Polish ( Block so the opponent cannot switch out, or Rock Polish to boost speed and Accuracy )

Regigigas

Hope I helped! :D
