'''Slow Start''' (Japanese: '''スロースタート''' ''Slow Start'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation IV]]. Prior to [[Generation IX]], it was the [[signature Ability]] of {{p|Regigigas}}. | |||

Slow Start causes the {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Speed}} stats to be halved during the first five turns in battle. This counter is reset if the Pokémon is switched out. | |||
If {{m|Skill Swap | If this Ability is replaced due to a move like {{m|Skill Swap}} or {{m|Worry Seed}} or is suppressed, the Pokémon's stats return to normal. | ||

This was changed in localized versions as well as in {{game|Platinum}}. | ||
{{m|Foul Play}} uses the target's halved {{stat|Attack}} stat to calculate damage. | |||
If the user holds a typed [[Z-Crystal]] and uses a Z-Move based on a [[special move]], Slow Start will also reduce the Special Attack stat for the duration of that move only. | |||
====Generation VIII==== | |||
In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Abilities do not occur in normal gameplay. However, Slow Start has been reworked into a status condition exclusive to {{p|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. | |||
