'''Legendary titans'''<ref>[http://pokemon.gamespress.com/Deoxys-Returns-and-Clashes-with-Rayquaza-in-the-Delta-Episode-of-Pokem Pokémon Gamespress (UK)]</ref> is a term used to refer to the group of [[Legendary Pokémon]] consisting of {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, {{p|Regieleki}}, and {{p|Regidrago}}. They are also known as '''Legendary Giants''' in the [[Crown Tundra]]. Fan terms include '''Legendary golems''' and '''Regis'''. They were also previously referred to as the '''Regi [[Legendary trio|trio]]''' or the '''Titan trio''' before the introductions of Regieleki and Regidrago in [[The Crown Tundra]].

Unlike previous Legendary groups, the titans share very similar names, and their types are further estranged from the original {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Ice}}, and {{t|Electric}} that the [[Legendary birds|birds]] take on (two of the [[Legendary beasts|beasts]] share types with the birds, and {{p|Regice|two of}} {{p|Regieleki|the titans}} do as well). Like them, however, the Legendary titans have a [[Trio master|master]] (and like the beasts, a creator) in {{p|Regigigas}}.

Each has seven dots for eyes, arranged in a different pattern, similar to the [[braille]] that is connected to their legend. Unlike the birds and beasts, the titans do not have {{a|Pressure}} as their Ability, though the original three titans do share the Ability {{a|Clear Body}}.

In the {{pkmn|anime}} and outside ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', they appeared to be somewhat less important than the previous two trios, even being trained, in {{i|Poké Ball}}s, no less, by [[Brandon]], while the [[Legendary birds]] are said to cause a cataclysm if even one is captured (as happened in [[M02|the second movie]], though through a different method) and the beasts are unable to be captured by conventional means.

The Legendary titans 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 an icy mountain, rocks, magma, pure electric energy, and crystallized dragon energy. Regigigas was apparently worshiped at ancient people at one point, as were the original three titans. Regigigas was later deemed too powerful and sealed away in the basement of the [[Snowpoint Temple]], while the three 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 whomever 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.

In the Hoenn [[Generation III]] games and the remakes, the player must first unlock the tombs which hold the three titans by solving the puzzle in the [[Sealed Chamber]]. Only after doing this will they then be obtainable. Regirock is found in the [[Desert Ruins]] on {{rt|111|Hoenn}}. To encounter Regirock, the player must walk two steps to the right, two steps down and then use {{m|Strength}}{{sup/3|RuSa}}{{sup/6|ORAS}} or walk two steps to the left, then two steps down and use {{m|Rock Smash}}{{sup/3|E}}. Regice is found in the [[Island Cave]] on {{rt|105|Hoenn}}, and to encounter it, the player must wait two minutes in front of the sign{{sup/3|RuSa}}{{sup/6|ORAS}} or walk a counterclockwise lap around the walls of the cave{{sup/3|E}}. Registeel is found in the [[Ancient Tomb]] on {{rt|120|Hoenn}}, and it is necessary to go to the middle of the room and use {{m|Fly}}{{sup/3|RuSa}}{{sup/6|ORAS}} or {{m|Flash}}{{sup/3|E}} to open its cave.

The original three Legendary titans 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 and Pearl]], Regigigas can be encountered in the basement of [[Snowpoint Temple]] if the player has the other three titans in their party, though they are only obtainable via [[trade]] from Platinum or [[transfer]] with [[Pal Park]]. In [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], Regigigas is again obtainable in Snowpoint Temple if the player has the other titans, though said other titans can now be encountered by using [[Discovery Slate]]s in [[Ramanas Park]]'s Discovery Room.

The original three Legendary titans are obtainable in the [[Underground Ruins]]. However, to access their rooms, special [[Key System|keys]] are required to enter. The Rock Peak Key for Regirock is obtained automatically 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}}. To catch all three titans in one game, the corresponding version-exclusive key must be transferred through the [[Unova Link]], so that one game has all three keys.

In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], each of the three Legendary titans may be encountered in the [[Ultra Space Wilds]] by following a yellow [[Ultra Wormhole]] to the Cave World during the [[Ultra Warp Ride]]. Regigigas only appears here in Pokémon Ultra Moon, though the original three are obtainable in both versions.

All three of the original Legendary titans are obtainable in Ruins dotted about the [[Crown Tundra]], with the player having to fill out clues. However, there is one special Ruin where the two other Legendary titans, {{p|Regieleki}} and {{p|Regidrago}}, can be found. Once the player collects the original three and filled out the clues corresponding to the three, they may obtain their choice of either. In order to be able to catch the titans, the pattern on the floor in the ruins must be lit up, and the player interacts with the statues. In the case for Regieleki and Regidrago, the pattern is a combination of both, and the player is to mark the pattern of the titan of their choice. Once the titan is encountered, the tiles that were not part of the Pokémon's pattern are permanently dimmed, even if the player ran away from or defeated the titan.

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.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness,]] & [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], the [[Aegis Cave]] houses all three of the titans as well as Regigias. The player's team must have the right [[Throwing item#Unown Stones|Unown stones]] that spell out each typing of the Pokémon (specifically, ICE, ROCK, and STEEL) in order to enter each titan's chamber. If the party does not have these stones, they must enter that titan's cave in order to collect more Unown stones. After beating all three Pokémon, the party immediately heads to Regigigas' Chamber to battle it.  

The legendary titans each appear as bosses in [[Colossal Forest]]. Regirock is the boss of Stage 1, Regice is the boss of Stage 2, and Registeel is the boss of Stage 3. Their trio master, Regigigas, is the boss of the subsequent stage, Stage 4.

In [[Pokémon Rumble U]], all three members can be fought in the [[Melodious Woodland#A Colossal Throwdown|A Colossal Throwdown]] challenge in Melodious Woodland, along with {{p|Golurk}}, {{p|Giratina}}, and their [[trio master]], {{p|Regigigas}}.

After reaching the reaching the {{DL|Rank (Mystery Dungeon)|Expedition Rank|Silver Rank}}, players can go to Triangle Temple on the [[Grass Continent]]. Like in Red and Blue Rescue Team, each member of the trio acts as a boss for certain floors, with Regirock appearing on B3F, Regice on B6F, Registeel on B9F, and the trio master Regigigas on B12F. After beating the dungeon, all four Pokémon connect with the player.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===

{{main|Brandon's Legendary titans}}

The Legendary titans make two major appearances and a cameo appearance in [[Pokémon Adventures]].

===={{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}====

{{Steven}} (with the help of {{adv|Sapphire}}) unsealed the three titans in order to stop the effects of the clash between {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} from spreading beyond [[Sootopolis City]]. After the clash was stopped, the titans rampaged and later disappeared.

===={{chap|Emerald}}====

[[Brandon]] (with the help of [[Scott]]) relocated the titans and caught all three of them. He used them in his [[Battle Pyramid]] battle against {{adv|Emerald}}, starting the battle with Regirock and ending it with Regice.

===={{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}====

It was revealed that [[Palmer]] had loaned the three titans from Brandon in order to awaken [[Reg]]igigas, who later joined {{adv|Diamond}}'s team.

===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure manga===

In ''[[DPA14|A Novel Test!!]]'', [[Candice]] was revealed to own all three members of the Legendary titans. They were later used to awaken {{TP|Hareta|Regigigas}}, which was caught by [[Hareta]].

===In the Pocket Monsters Diamond and Pearl: Regigigas Major Capture Operation!! manga===

The Legendary titans appeared in [[Pocket Monsters Diamond and Pearl: Regigigas Major Capture Operation!!]]. {{OBP|Kaito|RMCO}}, {{OBP|Yuki|RMCO}}, and [[Kento]] each owned one member of the trio. They were used to awaken {{p|Regigigas}}.

* In {{g|Colosseum}}, the event needed to unlock the Legendary titans is referenced in Battle Mode's Single Battle Mount Battle. The 90th Trainer, {{tc|Area Leader}} Axley, has a party consisting of Regirock, Regice, Registeel, {{p|Flygon}}, {{p|Relicanth}}, and {{p|Wailord}}. Flygon is likely included because it can learn {{m|Dig}}, which is required to unseal the titans.

* When the titans are encountered in {{game|Platinum}} and {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, a remixed version of the music used in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} is played. This theme is also used for Regigigas in the latter.

* All of the original Legendary titans, as well as Regigigas, share a weakness to {{type|Fighting}} moves, making them the only [[Legendary trio]] to share a common weakness, but not a common type.

* The Legendary Titans are the first [[Legendary trio]] to gain new members from a different generation.

* {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} are the only games that Regirock, Regice, and Registeel can be encountered in to not use a remix of the original Generation III battle music, instead using the original.

** In addition, [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Pokémon Ultra Moon]] is the only core series game in which the player does not need any of the Legendary titans in their party to encounter Regigigas.
