Regirock is a large golem-like Pokémon made of brown and orange rocks. It has a pattern of seven orange dots on its face that resembles a capital letter "H". It has long arms with jutting shoulders and club-like hands without fingers. There is a line of orange rocky spines running down its back, and its legs are short in comparison to its body. When it gets damaged in battle, it will search for new rocks to repair itself. Because of this, the rocks it is made of come from several different places around the world, which contributes to Regirock's patchwork appearance. Recently, cutting-edge technology has found that Regirock is entirely made of stone and rock, as it does not seem to have a heart or brain. According to legend, Regirock was created by Regigigas. It generally lives in caves or ruins, where it was sealed away years ago by ancient people.
Regirock debuted alongside the other members of its trio in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew. It is a guardian of the Tree of Beginning, and it was the first to attack perceived intruders Ash and his friends. In the end, Regirock and the other guardians realized they were not a danger and kept on with protecting the Tree of Beginning.
Regirock was Brandon's first Pokémon during his battle with Emerald, where it found Sceptile's Leech Seed attack to be of minor annoyance and knocked it out right away with its Explosion attack. However, while the Pyramid King's attention was focused on Jirachi's light coming from the horizon, Emerald was able to revitalize the fainted Sceptile with a Revive and win the battle.
Regirock was sealed away by people long ago. If this Pokémon's body is damaged in battle, it is said to seek out suitable rocks on its own to repair itself.
Regirock's body is composed entirely of rocks. Recently, a study made the startling discovery that the rocks were all unearthed from different locations.

In the international versions of Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, there is an unobtainable Regirock Doll programmed into the game. It was unlockable with the Japan-exclusive Regi-Dolls Decoration sete-Reader card.
Regirock may be 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, or even killed in some legends. Regirock's face that consists of seven dots may be based on Braille alphabet which was necessary to use to encounter the legendary giants for the first time in Sealed Chamber.
The five legendary giants may be collectively themed after historical epochs, with Regirock representing the Stone Age.
Name origin
Regirock may be a combination of regis (Latin for royal) and rock.
