Legendary giants: Difference between revisions

The Legendary giants have relatively concrete lore compared to other [[Legendary Pokémon]]. Long ago, Regigigas is said to have pulled the continents into place and then created the titans in its image from various materials (an icy mountain, rocks, magma, pure electric energy, and crystallized dragon energy). Regigigas were apparently worshiped by ancient people at one point, as were the original three giants. Regigigas was later deemed too powerful and sealed away in the basement of the [[Snowpoint Temple]], while the three titans it created were spirited to the far-off [[Hoenn]] region and locked away in three stone structures, which were then sealed themselves. A message was left in braille to whoever would come to discover the [[Sealed Chamber]], whose only access was via an [[underwater]] cavern, in the hopes that one day the Pokémon could be {{pkmn2|Caught|tamed}}. Separately, {{p|Regieleki}} and {{p|Regidrago}} were sealed in the [[Crown Tundra]]'s [[Split-Decision Ruins]] to prevent them from causing any further destruction and terror.

The original three Legendary giants are only obtainable in [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Pokémon Platinum]] if the {{player}} has a [[fateful encounter]] {{p|Regigigas}} in their [[party]] and has entered the [[Hall of Fame]]. Regirock is present in the {{si|Rock Peak Ruins}} on [[Sinnoh Route 228|Route 228]], Regice is present in the {{si|Iceberg Ruins}} in [[Mount Coronet]], and Registeel is present in the {{si|Iron Ruins}} on [[Iron Island]]. In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl]], and Platinum, Regigigas can be encountered in the basement of [[Snowpoint Temple]] if the player has the other three titans in their party. In [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], Regigigas is again obtainable in Snowpoint Temple if the player has the other giants, though said other giants can now be encountered by using [[Discovery Slate]]s in [[Ramanas Park]]'s Discovery Room.

In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], the original three Legendary giants are obtainable in the [[Underground Ruins]]. Normally, the door in the Underground Ruins leads to a chamber where none of the titans are found; however, if one of three special [[Key System|key]]s is activated, the door will instead lead to the chamber of the titan corresponding to that key. The Rock Peak Key for Regirock is obtained immediately after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]]; after catching Regirock, the player will obtain either the Iron Key for Registeel{{sup/5|B2}} or the Iceberg Key for Regice{{sup/5|W2}}. The opposite version's key may be obtained by transferring it with [[Unova Link]] from a game that has it, allowing all three giants to be encountered in one game. Regigigas can be encountered in the lowest floor of [[Twist Mountain]] if the other three titans are all in the [[party]].

The Legendary giants appear in [[The Crown Tundra]] in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]. They reside in ruins dotted about the [[Crown Tundra]], which cannot be entered until [[Legendary Clue 2]] is obtained. The original three each have individual ruins; however, {{p|Regieleki}} and {{p|Regidrago}} share the same ruin, in which the player must select one of the two to obtain. Each ruin's door is closed unless a certain requirement is met, hinted at in writing on the doors. These requirements are: having the first Pokémon in the [[party]] hold an [[Everstone]] for the [[Rock Peak Ruins (Galar)|Rock Peak Ruins]], where Regirock is encountered; having a {{p|Cryogonal}} be the [[walking Pokémon]] for the [[Iceberg Ruins (Galar)|Iceberg Ruins]], where Regice is encountered; whistling at the door for the [[Iron Ruins (Galar)|Iron Ruins]], where Registeel is encountered; and having Regirock, Regice, and Registeel be in the party for the [[Split-Decision Ruins]], where either Regieleki or Regidrago is encountered. The Split-Decision Ruins may only be entered after the titans of the other three ruins have been [[Caught Pokémon|caught]], even if the three were [[trade]]d or [[transfer]]red from another game. Inside each of the ruins, after the pattern on the floor has been lit up by running over it, interacting with the statue will cause the titan to appear; in the case of the Split-Decision Ruins, the player must mark the pattern corresponding to the giant of their choice, and after the giant is encountered, the tiles that were not part of its pattern are permanently dimmed, even if it was defeated or [[escape|fled]] from. If Regirock, Regice, Registeel, Regieleki, and Regidrago are all in the party, a usually dormant [[Pokémon Den]] in the [[Giant's Bed]] will activate, containing a [[Max Raid Battle]] without allies against a [[Dynamax]] {{p|Regigigas}}; notably, this Regigigas is [[level]] 100.

All three members of the Legendary titans can be found in the Ruins area on [[Ruby Field|both]] [[Sapphire Field|fields]] of [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]].

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] and their remake, [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX|Rescue Team DX]], each of them appear in the [[Buried Relic]] dungeon on specific floors as bosses, with Regirock on 15F, Regice on 25F, and Registeel on 35F. On defeat, the player will receive the [[Rock Part]], [[Ice Part]], and [[Steel Part]], which not only can be used separately to recruit the titans, but can be combined to create the [[Music Box]], an item which can cause {{p|Mew}} to appear randomly in Buried Relic.
