Regigigas (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

==Biology==

[[File:Regigigas orb.png|thumb|left|250px|Regigigas in its slumbering state.]]

Regigigas is a skilled craftsman. It created golems out of inanimate objects and elemental energies in its image, bringing them to life. Regigigas is also capable of controlling these [[Legendary giants]], even if they already belong to a different {{pkmn|Trainer}}. It can also survive extreme conditions as it is able to work with the boiling temperatures of magma as well as frigid ice (-328 °F / -200 °C). When Regigigas is disturbed from its slumber, it goes on a rampage and shoots powerful beams of energy. When it is befriended, however, it is calm and gentle, as seen in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]''. According to Sinnoh legend, Regigigas's strength enables it to move continents. Regigigas can be summoned or awakened by the Legendary giants.

Regigigas debuted in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. It lives in a temple in the mountains of [[Ten'i Village]] and had been asleep for centuries, subsequently having moss growing on its feet and shoulders. However, when [[Zero]] entered the [[Reverse World]] and began shattering pillars of ice within it, the glacier in front of Regigigas' temple suffered catastrophic explosions and began moving. This disturbed its slumber, rousing it into action. When [[Dawn's Buneary]] and {{TP|Dawn|Swinub}} failed to stop the glacier with the help of a large group of [[wild Pokémon]], Regigigas appeared and commanded a herd of dozens of {{p|Mamoswine}} to hold the glacier back. Once the crisis was resolved, Regigigas returned to its temple. It was last seen using {{m|Hyper Beam}} on {{TRT}} during the ending credits.

* Due to {{a|Slow Start|its Ability}} [[:Category:Abilities with negative effects|weakening it]], Regigigas has more in common with {{p|Slaking}} than it does with other [[Legendary Pokémon]]. They share the same {{t|Normal}} [[type]], the same base stat total of 670, the same base {{stat|Attack}} stat of 160, and {{Abilities}} that limit their power.

** Regigigas and Slaking also have the highest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all Normal-type {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

* In Platinum, by hacking to obtain [[Cherish Ball]]s, it is possible to trick the game into opening {{si|Rock Peak Ruins|Rock Peak}}, {{si|Iceberg Ruins|Iceberg}}, and {{si|Iron Ruins}}: by catching the in-game Regigigas in a Cherish Ball, the game thinks the Regigigas was obtained at an event.

* Regigigas is the only [[Generation IV]] Legendary Pokémon whose Attack stat is higher than its {{stat|Special Attack}} stat.

* Regigigas, {{p|Magikarp}}, and {{p|Gyarados}} are the three {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that can be encountered in the {{pkmn2|wild}} at the lowest and highest levels.
