The classic RegiBro core returns in BW with a number of useful new features. Registeel remains much the same as before, but Slowbro received an outstanding new ability in Regenerator and two solid STAB moves: Scald and Psyshock. Other than that, the two form a core that can easily take on some of the most dangerous physical and special threats in UU.
Registeel @ Leftovers
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDef
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Stealth Rock
- Iron Head
- Seismic Toss
- Toxic
Slowbro @ Leftovers
Trait: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Scald
- Psyshock
- Slack Off

Registeel covers most special threats with its gigantic Special Defense stat. It also works as a reliable Stealth Rock user and status spreader, thanks to its bulk and natural utility. Iron Head provides Registeel with a solid STAB move to hit Ghosts (notably Mismagius) with, while Seismic Toss is a great all-around move on a special wall. Toxic is preferred over Thunder Wave for hitting Ground-types and bulkier opponents.

These two Pokémon have some of the best defensive synergy in the game, making them the UU equivalent of SkarmBliss. Pair this core up with hazards, bulky offensive members and a late-game cleaner, and you'll have a solid UU team on your hands.
Good ol' RegiBro. They make a great defensive core for any UU team, whether as bulky boosters or as status spreaders (alliteration much?). Thanks for this, Fal.
