Brandon's legendary giants: Difference between revisions

'''Brandon's Legendary titans''' are a [[Legendary titans|trio]] of [[Legendary Pokémon]] that belong to [[Pyramid King Brandon]].

In the anime, they are Brandon's most powerful Pokémon, with Regirock and Registeel using their power alone to defeat Ash twice. However, Regice was defeated later in Ash's rematch with Brandon. During Brandon's battle with [[Paul]], each Legendary titan defeated all of Paul's Pokémon one by one. In ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'', they were used to help protect {{p|Regigigas}} from [[J]].

In ''[[AG186|Overjoyed!]]'', {{Ash}} returned to the Battle Pyramid to challenge Brandon. Brandon revealed that he would be using Registeel in the battle. The next day Ash sent his {{AP|Torkoal}} against Registeel. Registeel was shown to be an extremely mobile Pokémon, as it was seen charging at Torkoal. Although Torkoal clearly had the type advantage, Registeel had incredible defensive capabilities and was able to evenly match Torkoal. Brandon's main strategy with Registeel seemed to be offensive and defensive combined into one. Although Torkoal managed to put up a strong fight and match Registeel in power, Registeel ultimately proved victorious.

Registeel was next seen in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'' alongside Regirock, where the two of them confronted {{TRT}} and used their {{m|Hyper Beam}} attacks to sending Team Rocket blasting off.

Registeel appeared in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'' along with Brandon, where it was used in a battle against [[Paul]] where it battled his {{TP|Paul|Magmar}} and defeated his {{p|Nidoking}}.

It was seen again in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'', where it was used to battle the rampaging {{p|Regigigas}} at the [[Snowpoint Temple]]. Regigigas used {{m|Confuse Ray}} on Regirock, Regice, and Registeel and all four Pokémon went on a rampage. When [[J|Hunter J]] used her weapon to catch the immobilized Regigigas; Regirock, Regice, Registeel and eventually [[Pyramid King Brandon]] all jumped in front of J's firing range and were turned into stone. Regigigas eventually brought them back to life with {{m|Hidden Power}}.

Brandon {{pkmn2|caught}} Regice in between ''[[AG186|Overjoyed!]]'' and ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four!]]'' while searching in an unnamed ruin. Regice was the last Pokémon Brandon sent out against [[Ash's Pikachu]] in his 4-on-4 battle for the Brave Symbol.

Brandon used a strategy of freezing the field with {{m|Ice Beam}} to speed up Regice's movements and to do the complete opposite with Pikachu's. While Pikachu did land some hits with {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}, it proved to be ineffective, as Regice trapped Pikachu in pillars of ice created by Ice Beam and then used {{m|Rest}} to fully recover any damage caused. 

Regice then fired an Ice Beam towards Pikachu, completely freezing it. However, with the last of its energy, Pikachu broke free and delivered a final blow to Regice using his {{m|Volt Tackle}}.

====={{series|Diamond & Pearl}}=====

Regice was seen in a flashback in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]''.

Regice appeared again in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', where Brandon used it in his battle with [[Paul]]. It battled [[Paul's Ursaring]], until Paul switched to {{p|Lairon}} and Regice easily defeated the Iron Armor Pokémon with {{m|Zap Cannon}}.

It was seen again in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'', where it was used to battle the rampaging {{p|Regigigas}} at the [[Snowpoint Temple]]. Regigigas used {{m|Confuse Ray}} on Regirock, Regice, and Registeel and all four Pokémon went on a rampage. When [[J|Hunter J]] used her weapon to catch the immobilized Regigigas; Regirock, Regice, Registeel and eventually [[Pyramid King Brandon]] all jumped in front of J's firing range and were turned into stone. Regigigas eventually brought them back to life with {{m|Hidden Power}}.

All three of the Legendary titans are considered to be very loyal towards Brandon as their Trainer. However, it was temporarily lost when {{p|Regigigas}} used {{m|Confuse Ray}} on them, which made the trio turn on Brandon. When Brandon blocked the attack from J's hand gun that could turn anything it touches into stone, the titans regained their loyalty. In most of the battles each of the titans participated in, they had no trouble taking on any opponent including the ones with the type advantage as seen in their battles against {{Ash}} and [[Paul]], where they single-handedly defeated all of the latter's Pokémon in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]''.

Brandon's Legendary titans appear in {{game|Emerald}} when battled for the [[Symbol|Silver Symbol]].

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===

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

Regirock, Regice, and Registeel are three Pokémon that were sought after by [[Steven Stone]] in preparation for the upcoming battle against {{adv|Groudon}} and {{adv|Kyogre}}. After some difficulties, he manages to [[PS254|awaken]] them from [[Desert Ruins|their]] [[Ancient Tomb|resting]] [[Island Cave|places]] with the help of the [[Blind boy]] and {{adv|Sapphire}}. Once awakened, Regirock was partnered with [[Drake]] and [[Sidney]], Regice was partnered with [[Phoebe]] and [[Glacia]], while Steven teamed up with [[Wallace]] to control Registeel.

During the [[PS255|battle]], the three Pokémon used {{m|Superpower}} to contain the destructive energy created by the clash between {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}. After Groudon and Kyogre are defeated, the strain of controlling the three Pokémon causes Steven to die from exhaustion. With no one to control them, Regirock, Regice, and Registeel lashed out against their controllers and left to parts unknown.

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

In the {{chap|Emerald}}, Regirock, Regice, and Registeel were found and caught by {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} for use in the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

When {{adv|Emerald}} challenged the Battle Pyramid in ''[[PS312|Chipping Away at Regirock]]'', Regirock was the first to be sent out to face his {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}}. During the battle, Regirock had its health sapped away by {{m|Leech Seed}}, so it countered by blowing itself up with {{m|Explosion}}, greatly damaging Sceptile. With Regirock knocking itself out in the process, Brandon switched with Registeel, who was sent out to face Emerald's borrowed {{p|Hitmonchan}}, [[Monlee]]. With his speed and super effective hits, Monlee was able to easily defeat Registeel, only to quickly fall by a {{m|Toxic}} attack.

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

In ''[[PS460|All About Arceus IX]]'', it was revealed that three Pokémon were lent to {{FB|Tower Tycoon|Palmer}} at one point. Palmer took the Pokémon to the [[Snowpoint Temple]], where he awakened and captured the Legendary Pokémon [[Reg|Regigigas]].

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

In ''[[PAORAS16|Omega Alpha Adventure 16]]'', Regirock and Regice were seen helping Brandon fight the [[Admin]]s of Neo [[Team Magma]] and Neo [[Team Aqua]].
