Regigigas Overrated?

Cresselia could also be a nice tech, serving as an early tank is snowpoint is in play, or as a late game healer if that is nessesary. GE Cress's second attack with Gigas is FILTHY. At all times, Gigas is at one of three states: It is healthy enough to where it doesn't need to heal, its damaged, but can easily sacrifice to stay in the game, or its hurt so much that its become a problem. Cresselia's synergy with snowpoint is unbeleivabally good, giving it both a 120 hp X, and the ability to heal 3 damage counters each turn. Cresselia's power can also reduce the strain on Gigas to need to use sacrifice, preserving valuable prizes for incase a second or third Gigas need be powered up. Cresselia is also a basic X, functioning much off the same engine Gigas does, and while 2 Psychic energies are nessesary for the second attack, its not picky, healing one Gigas while setting up for the next to sacrifice.

Cress also gives a rough time to most of Gigas's toughest matchups, either being able to harass nasty bench sitters threatening for when Gigas scores a KO, removing light amounts of damage from pokemon for those who tech Crush Grip, and it can even take 2 prizes for when Gigas falls behind after using Sacrifice. Most things survive Gigas with no more then 30-40 hp, so it only makes sense (and its either sit active and suck up the double prize, or have it be taken later to Gigaton Punch).

If the deck can afford the room, Vespiquen would be a good round out for the deck. Combee provides a sacrifice partner when it comes into play (which provides 2 targets for Gigas on the potential topdeck, Araceus forbid), as well as escaping a very bad spot should it be the starter, and its colorless energy requirement isn't nessesarily demanding. Vespiquen itself also benifits from being behind in prizes, and makes a third tank to further take preasure off Gigas. Vespiquen can place easy breaks in the enemies stratagy, and still be sacrificed to push up Gigas or Cresselia, or easily retreated. Vespiquen's most costly attack still only requires one specific energy, making good use of Multi's.

I have fun with Regi, but still lose quite often to Gengar and Dusknoir. With Gengar swarm and poltergeist... I'm being hit for 90 a turn. if not more. I try to ditch my supporters... but they just keep coming...

it's thought not to have 3-5 in my hand. Especially late game... Then the feinting spell... I hope for tails.

What's the strategy versus that?

Poltergiest is nothing is a Regigigas deck, because you need speed, so you do not need that many supporters. I play my Gigas deck with him as the only attacker (only one dealing damage), and with ALOT of trainer cards, over 28, I have only 5 supporters. The strategy versus Feinting spell? All I can say is, hopefully you can use something like an unown to KO it, or have another Regigigas powered up on the bench, or probably play Alakazam.
And gmmuka, I might test the deck out with a Cresselia lv.X instead of having Gigas alone.
 
machamp is an un favorable but not incredibly difficult match up for gigas if you play the game right because
1. its possible to keep up with machamp
2.most play uxie x so play unown g on a uxie x with 2 energy and you 2hko a machamp
gengar is a worse match up for gigas than machamp because
1. you give up a prize to set up a pokemon that is supposed to be out there for 3-4 turns so when you kill a gengar and they flip heads the sacrifice prize turns into a free prize and can hurt you.
2. a majority of the pokemon used have pokepowers and you cant play unown g on all of them so shadow room will hurt.
3. there are a lot of traners/supporters in the deck so if they get a gengar withen the first 2-4 turns theres gonna be a decent amount of them in hand to put serious damage on a gigas.

You don't need to play Regigigas with alot of Supporters. The deck is meant for speed, so you need to use a large amount of Trainers. Gengar is nothing for my Gigas deck for that reason alone. I do play Supporters, yes, but only 5. I do good with normal trainers.
