While Registeel has been classified as a {{type|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, its body is hollow and made of a material that is harder than any known metal. However, this material stretches and shrinks despite its hardness. While one [[Pokédex]] entry noted that the material that forms Registeel's body is extraterrestrial, it is also theorized that Registeel was actually born inside the [[Pokémon world]]'s mantle, before emerging onto the surface 10,000 years ago. Further evidence supporting this theory is the fact that Registeel's body was tempered by pressure {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|underground}} over thousands of years; as a result, it cannot be scratched. Another theory posits that Registeel was created by {{p|Regigigas}} out of magma. It is unknown what Registeel can eat. It was sealed away in ruins by people during ancient times.

{{main|Brandon's Legendary giants#Pokémon Adventures|Brandon's Registeel}}
Registeel debuted in ''[[PS252|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XIV]]'', when [[Drake]] attempted to open the [[Ancient Tomb]]. Together, {{Steven}} and {{Adv|Sapphire}} created a team consisting of four {{p|Beldum}} and Sapphire's {{DL|Sapphire (Adventures)|Relly|Relicanth}} and {{DL|Sapphire (Adventures)|Lorry|Wailord}}, thus opening up the chamber containing Registeel, as well as the other two [[Legendary giants|giants]], {{p|Regirock}} and {{p|Regice}}. Registeel used {{m|Superpower}} to stop {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} from spreading destruction. After the battle, it and the other two giants—left weak and powerless—traveled to the mountains, where they were later caught by [[Brandon]] shortly before the opening ceremony of the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.
Brandon used Registeel first in his battle with {{adv|Emerald}}, where it squared off against the [[Monlee|Hitmonchan]] the boy borrowed from {{adv|Crystal}}. Though Registeel took considerable damage from the accumulation of many {{m|Fire Punch}}es and was eventually beaten by a strong {{m|Sky Uppercut}} attack, it managed to cause its opponent to faint as well with a clever {{m|Toxic}} maneuver.
===Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!===
Registeel, along with the other two [[Legendary giants]], are seen under the possession of [[Candice]]. She uses them against [[Hareta]] to test his worthiness to challenge {{TP|Hareta|Regigigas}} in ''[[DPA14|A Novel Test!!]]''.

Registeel appears as an occasional stage hazard in the {{DL|Pokémon League (Kalos)|Ironworks Chamber}} of the {{st|Kalos Pokémon League}} stage. Appearing rarely, it will use {{m|Stomp}} to dislodge the swords embedded in the stage, causing them to fly upwards and damage fighters. Grounded characters will also take damage from Stomp.
====Trophy information====
''This Steel-type Pokémon's hollow body is made out of an ultrahard metal, forged under pressure over thousands of years underground. It can appear in the Kalos Pokémon League stage, in the Elite Four's Steel-type chamber. Its Stomp attack will launch fighters on the ground, and even the giant swords mounted on the stage!''

===Origin===
===Origin===
Registeel may be based on the {{wp|golem}}s 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. Given its metallic construction, it may also be based on a {{wp|humanoid robot}}. Registeel's face that consists of seven dots may be based on {{wp|Braille alphabet}} which was necessary to use to encounter the [[Legendary giants]] for the first time in [[Sealed Chamber]].
