2-2 RegigasX: I use the regigigas with gigaton punch, because it's the better out of all the rest and I use 2 regigigas X because if I draw one I can still use level max to go get the other level max, when I'm trying to go off in one turn.

3-1 Uxie: Uxie's always been the better card draw in my experience when compared to claydol. It gets cards now and I can always sacrifice it after ward, it's almost like a trainer in this deck very very good.

2 Mesprit: Mesprit is also a really good card for gigas, I can't tell you how many times I beaten Gliscor because of this guy. Reading when your opponent is going to play Gliscor Lv.X and play mesprit constantly after that, by sacrificing and then using tsd or night maintenance to get them back, is gigas'es only fighting chance it has against Gliscor. Mesprit is also pretty good at being an all around power lock, although he is mostly just annoying for your opponent because his other typical targets are claydol and uxie.

1 Azelf: I don't exactly know how I feel about this guy now that I've got 2 regigigas Lv.x, but it's never dangerous to be safe.

2 Unknown G: One of the greatest utility cards this game has probably ever seen, this card protects gigas from so much hate. There's machamp, mightyena, and even Dusknoir's damage even.

1 Regice: The more typical guy to run in this spot is usually lunatone, however I want to try and get the t1 off and lunatone can only discard one card a turn, so he couldn't really work well unless you got 2 on the board or used felicity's and you'd probably need to use a better supporter to get t1 off.

1-1 Weavile: This initially started out as a tech against my local meta consisting of dusknoir (since dusknoir is resistant to normal and weak to dark), but then I saw the synergy that it had with Palkia X and moonlight stadium. With this, moonlight stadium, and palkia out you can use restructure, use dark embrace, and then retreat for free basically letting you choose both sides of the restructure.

1-1 Palkia X: If regigigas is the heart of this deck then this guy has to be the brains of it. Regigigas has a lot of hate in the current meta and it is very crucial to be able to KO any of your opponents pokemon he has on the board. You could easily get out a mewtwo into active position or maybe even get some pokemon your opponent is trying to build up and isn't ready yet. If you haven't played a regigigas deck with this guy yet then you'll love how he can completely swing games for you.

1-1 Dialga G X:
Dialga G is a necessary evil that gigas has to run because of the increasing amount of hate it has piling up on it. He can shut down mewtwo X and the powerlocking ampharos. He also absolutely hoses any of the new grass decks out there, shutting down both Shaymin X and sceptile. Most of the time though he should just be ignored until there's a need for him in case you need to use gigas'es own pokebody.

4 Roseanne's Research: Being able to search for 2 of almost any pokemon in the deck (even gigas himself) AND be able to get any kind of missing energy that you need is really really good. I can't think of any reason this shouldn't be a 4 of in a regigigas deck.

4 Felicity's Drawings: Sometimes you can't always get a Lunatone or Regice in time to discard the card you need to, this card has always been an excellent back up plan, but not always the best supporter to use.

2 Bebe's Search: This card is always played in nearly every deck, it's just taking up the place of where roseanne's usualy is in other decks since there's so many basics to search for, this card is mostly here to reduce your hand and get Lv. Xs when needed.

4 Level Max: This card is essential to activating Dialga G X without having to worry about getting him out to active and putting him back on the bench it also allows you to be able to get gigas off on t1 by attaching an energy to gigas, discarding two energys and then leveling up to sacrifice on the same turn.

3 Premier Ball: Mostly just here for reassurance to get gigas X off and be able to get it back from the discard pile if it somehow finds it's way there.

4 Switch: Switch is an essential part to mixing around your bench in ways that you need to in order to get your pieces going the way you want them. it can move some bad start to the bench and put up a newly drawn regigigas or it can even serve as a gust of wind when you have Palkia X out. Switch is very important in regigigas.

2 Moonlight Stadium: As I said before when talking about weavile it combo's well with that and Palkia X. It also allows you to recover from a bad start with one of the pixies or unknown G.

1 Luxury Ball: No reason why this card shouldn't be in any deck, some people run more, but dead cards in hand seem really bad.

1 Night Maintenance: Mostly a backup plan just in case things go wrong, if the game lasts a long time you can use it to get back some pixies you may have sacrificed earlier

1 TSD: Same as Night Maintenance, but better.

4 Energy Search: Now this is probably the most controversial part of my regigas decks, a lot of people I've talked to don't like this idea, but I've found it to be very necessary since gigas needs 3 different kind of energy and none of the energy that can provide different kinds of energy are basic, which is the only kind of energy gigas can get from the discard pile. This card lets you use the flexability of a multi energy while being able to go get energys needed to discard, all at the same time.

4 Call Energy: Some people I've talked to haven't exactly figured it out but call energy is a very good card for this deck. Let's say you're just setting up normally to go off on t2, what else will gigas be doing on t1? He's not attacking right? Why not go get some utility pokemon like Palkia, sneasel(to evolve into weavile), Dialga G, or Unknown G? And besides this energy absolutely saves you when you have a bad start and go first.

2 :metal: 2:water: 2:fighting: : Gigas'es Giga Blaster needs three different kinds of energy, one of each so there isn't much reason for there to be one or more of the other. But when you're looking through your deck for an energy or at any time at all count up how many there are of each to see which kind of energy might be missing in the prizes in order to get that one and have a better chance of drawing one of the other energys that still have both in the deck.
 
TSD is abbreviation of Time Space Distortion.

2 of each energy with no Multi!?!??! That is insane, I have no clue how you expect to get the T2 Gigas.

Palkia, Moonlight, and Weavile are an awfully hard combo to pull off when you run 1-1 of both, and sort of isn't worth it. I would just drop the Weavile line and rely on Switches.
 
Now that you can shut off bodies with dialga G, try using Slowstart regigigas.

Slow Start - Regigigas can't attack until your opponent has 3 or less Prize cards left. (Poke-BODY)

[1FMW] Crush Grip (120) If the Defending Pokemon already has any damage counters on it, this attack's base damage is 40 instead of 120.
 
Slowstart is so reliant on Dialga G, however - what if you get the T1 charged Gigas.... but no Dialga G? "Hey, I could use Gigablaster... but I've got this body."

Also, what's the plan for Rampardos? Cry?

Energy search Easily makes up for the lower numbers of energy, in fact that was the point, I took out energies and put in searches. Searches are much better than multis or rainbow because it gets basic energy which is a very essential thing in gigas. I've never had a problem with energys at all in all the builds that I've done with gigas.

And the palkia weavile moonlight combo was fine. Palkia is always in, moonlight helped you free retreat bad starts, and weavile helped tech against dusknoir which was prominent in my area.

I have changed the list since I posted this though, I tool out weavile and the moonlights and put in 2 pluspowers and 2 galactic HQs, these help out a lot more against decks like kingdra & machamp, brings them both into 1 hit KO, and if you can use gigaton punch to do the bench damage you don't even have to worry about looking for the plus power, however I do wish I could find some way to fit more pluspowers in.

Slowstart regi is horrible, I wouldn't even play it if it didn't have that pokebody. The potential bench damage that the gigaton punch one can do wins games, the pokebody on that guy is also essential against Gliscor (not that you should be seeing it too much).

And Rampardos is too fragile to be viable , I'll obviously play around it if I ever see it with galactic HQ and Plus Power, but it's not like there's much for gigas to do against machamp either.
