In {{g|Sword and Shield}} | In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, and {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Slow Start is available and functions as it did in previous generations. | ||
In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Abilities | 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 it was in previous games. | ||
