With the highest Speed stat in the game, immensely powerful attacks, and incredible speed control in Electroweb, Regieleki is one of s11's top-tier Pokemon. Elecrtoweb is invaluable speed control that deals decent damage, ignores redirectors such as Amoonguss and Indeedee-F, and usually goes first with Regieleki's Speed. Thunder should only be run over Thunderbolt on teams with a rain setter. Thunder Wave and Eerie Impulse are niche support options that can be run over Thunderbolt or Volt Switch. Thunder Wave slows foes more severely than Electroweb and is particularly useful against Clear Body Dragapult, while Eerie Impulse weakens special attackers such as Venusaur, Rotom-H, and Coalossal. Magnet and Life Orb further increase Regieleki's incredible offense; Magnet lets a teammate such as Landorus-T, Dragapult, or Venusaur run Life Orb, but Life Orb is otherwise superior. Focus Sash is an especially useful item given Regieleki's frailty and makes it a great check to the combination of Tornadus and Kyogre.
Regieleki's many positive qualities and strong synergy with other top-tier Pokemon allow it to fit on a wide variety of teams. Incineroar can threaten Grass-types such as Venusaur and Rillaboom, while Regieleki can thwart Water-types like Blastoise and Kyogre. Water-types are also strong teammates, able to check Ground-types like Landorus-T and Groudon for Regieleki. Zacian-C greatly benefits from Regieleki's Electroweb and ability to keep Water-types and Charizard in check. Landorus-T and Groudon appreciate Regieleki's speed control and Water-type checking, and Landorus-T can check Grass-types for Regieleki.

With Dynamax and bulk investment, Regieleki has better survivability and cataclysmic power. Rising Voltage gives Regieleki the most powerful Max Lightning, and Rising Voltage becomes even stronger in the Electric Terrain set by Regieleki's Max Lightning. Electroweb supports Regieleki's team outside of Dynamax. Hyper Beam is most useful for Max Strike, which is Regieleki's best way to hit pertinent Ground-types like Landorus-T and Groudon, and it has utility in lowering Speed. Life Orb grants Regieleki immense power, allowing it to 2HKO even Amoonguss. The given EVs are optimal for Life Orb recoil and allow Dynamaxed Regieleki to always survive Adamant Zacian-C's Behemoth Blade after Life Orb recoil. Regieleki also outspeeds +1 Landorus-T with the given Speed. Regieleki's EV spread is fairly flexible, and it can very viably forgo bulk for more Speed.
This Regieleki set fits well on Calyrex-S hyper offense teams and Calyrex-I Trick Room teams. Regieleki and Calyrex-S have a limited pool of mostly different answers and are immensely powerful, which makes them strong together. Calyrex-I is an excellent Regieleki partner, as it can destroy Ground- and Grass-types like Groudon, Landorus-T, and Rillaboom, while the slow Trick Room teams Calyrex-I fits on appreciate having a fast and powerful Pokemon for increased flexibility. Helping Hand makes Regieleki capable of incredible feats such as OHKOing Porygon2 and Dynamaxed Calyrex-S. Indeedee-F and Whimsicott are good options to provide Helping Hand on Calyrex-S teams, and Dusclops can provide it on Calyrex-I teams.
