How did I missed a topic that's talking about meh favorite golem. The funny thing is I didn't even know the guy could learn Ice Punch but anyway I would like to say that why Zap Cannon is mention in the notable Physical attack list when it's not. As movesets term the Shadow Claw/Hammer Arm/Thunder Wave/Curse idea appeals to me more then the other, beside I think there's betterr candiates for Sala-counters.

What tis a better Sala counter than the great Registeel?

I don't know...the usually Salamence counters. I can se him being an okay Specmence counter but prefer to use my Iron Giant like I did in the Advance games, cursing and blowing up...not really I never liked Explosion. I don't know why I not like the idea of him being a Specmence counter, just not my cup of tea *shrug*
Empoleon.
Sorry, my bad. Just did the calculations, and it seems that such a Registeel will indeed ALWAYS survive two consecutive Draco Meteors, even without Leftovers or Sp.Def boosting nature.
The former could be key, as it would need Choice Band to OHKO back with Ice Punch, however situational that may seem.

Well I already have Vaporeon, so I'm not going with Empoleon .-.
Iron defense is a key move, because of physical sweepers that will switch in for super effective moves. Registeel is game-winning if you eliminate the special sweepers. Don't even try running stuff off of a measly 75 base attack--stick with seismic toss.
Also, I'll trade a master ball on a smeargle with two 31 EVs for a registeel with a +def or +sp def nature and high HP, sp def, and def EVs.

Seismic Toss can't take down Specsmence can it? =P
Nope and if you foe has near telepathic powers he'll get Flamethrower his metal butt on the switch-in.
Hmm, trying to develop a mixed Registeel, I just caught one with 31 Sp Atk and Sassy.
Registeel@Leftovers
Sassy 252 Hp/252 Sp Def/6 Atk
Ice Punch
ThunderBolt
Hammer Arm/Explosion
Iron Head
I realize it looks like a CB set, but Thunderbolt takes care of Skarmory so no need for T-wave. I'm debating on where Explosion should go, but Ice Punch is a definite and Iron Head is for STAB.
