Registeel (Japanese: レジスチル Registeel) is a Template:Type2 legendary Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

It is, along with Regirock and Regice, one of the three legendary golems of Hoenn.

Biology

Physiology

The top-half of Registeel's body is spherical and gray with a black stripe running down where its "face" is. Registeel's face consists of seven dots in a hexagon formation. Registeel has black arms with three fingers each. Registeel has cylindrical legs. While Registeel has been classified as a Template:Type2 Pokémon, its body is actually made of a material that is actually harder than any known metal on this planet. Registeel's body has also shown some flexibility as well.

Gender differences

Registeel is a genderless species.

Registeel's first appearance, in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew

Registeel in the anime

Registeel made an appearance with Regice and Regirock in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew. The legendary golems were guardians of the Tree of Beginning. Registeel first attacked Team Rocket, but when they tried to flee, it attacked Ash and his friends too. After everyone were saved by Mew, it, together with Regice and Regirock, turned away.

Ash battled against Brandon's Registeel in Overjoyed!. It also appeared again in Pace - The Final Frontier! along with Regirock where they blasted off Team Rocket.

Brandon used Registeel again in his battle with Paul. It battled with Paul's Magmar and easily took out his Nidoking. In the next episode he would release it so it could protect Regigigas in the Snowpoint Temple.

Trivia

European DP sprite

• In the European (excluding UK & Ireland) versions of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, Registeel's sprite was edited because of its arm. The arm's original position is reminiscent of the greeting of the Nazis. In Pokémon Platinum, the sprite was changed for all regions to the continental European variation (this change was retained in HeartGold and SoulSilver).
  • Due to this, In Pokémon Platinum, Registeel is the one of the few Pokémon not in the Sinnoh Dex, and not introduced in Generation IV, to have a new sprite. Hitmonlee, Muk, Meowth, Oddish, Ninetales and Primeape are the others, Registeel being the only one not native to Kanto. Mareep, Natu, Xatu, Forretress, and Ursaring had their color palettes changed.
• Registeel and Mawile are the only pure Template:Type2 Pokémon.
  • By being a pure Template:Type2 it has eleven resistances and one immunity, the second highest number among all Pokémon, second only to Magnemite and its evolutions. Other Pokémon who share this number of resistances and immunity are Mawile, Empoleon and Dialga.
• In Pokémon Ranger, Registeel is the only of the three Regis that has a Field Move. The other two have a Poké Assist instead. Registeel could be used on a boulder near its chamber to find a Dugtrio.
• Registeel, Regirock, and Regice are the Pokémon with the strongest move by base power, Explosion, as a starting move.
• In Generation III, Registeel had the weakest STAB move among all legendary Pokémon. Its only attack of its type, Metal Claw, has a base power of 50. Registeel learns Iron Head and Flash Cannon in Generation IV, eliminating this dubious distinction.
• In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, there is an unobtainable Registeel Doll programmed into the game. It may have been intended to be obtained with the e-Reader.
• Registeel's color palette was changed slightly in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, despite it being a non-Johto Pokémon. This also happened to Glameow, Purugly, Stunky, Skuntank, Torterra, Chimchar, and Chatot.
  • It is also the only Pokémon on this list not introduced in Generation IV.

Origin

Registeel is based on the golems of Hebrew legend. The legends cast them as servants of higher powers and are said to have writing on their heads. When the writing is removed, the creature would be weakened. It may also be based upon a robot.

Name origin

Registeel's name is the combination of the words regius, which is Latin for royal, and steel.

In other languages

• German: Registeel
• French: Registeel
• Korean: 레지스틸 Registeel
