In {{g|Sword and Shield}} and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, Slow Start is available and functions as it did in previous generations. | |||
In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Slow Start is no longer an ability to the removal of abilities. However it has been reworked into a status condition exclusive to Regigigas. Regigigas will gain the Slow Start status condition when entering battle for 5 turns. It will halve Regigigas's {{stat|Attack}} stat and {{stat|Speed}} stat like in all previous generations for its duration. | |||
