In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Abilities do not occur in normal gameplay. However, Slow Start has been reworked into a status condition exclusive to Regigigas. Regigigas will gain the Slow Start status condition upon entering battle for its first five turns, halving its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Speed}} stats. Due to the different way [[damage]] is calculated in this game, Slow Start's effect on Attack is much less impactful on damage output than in other games.
