History
The three giants were originally created by Regigigas to resemble its own image.
Ruby & Sapphire arc
Regirock, Regice, and Registeel are three Pokémon that were sought after by Steven Stone in preparation for the upcoming battle against Groudon and Kyogre. After some difficulties, he managed to awaken them from their resting places with the help of the blind boy and Sapphire in A Royal Rumble with Regirock, Regice and Registeel II. 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.
In With a Spoink in Your Step I, the three Pokémon were shown to use Superpower to contain the destructive energy created by the clash between Groudon and Kyogre in Sootopolis City. After Groudon and Kyogre were defeated, the strain of controlling the three Pokémon caused 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.
Emerald arc
In Never Spritz a Knotty Sudowoodo, Regirock, Regice, and Registeel were found and caught by Brandon for use in the Battle Frontier.
When Emerald challenged the Battle Pyramid in Chipping Away at Regirock, Regirock was the first to be sent out to face his Sceptile. During the battle, Regirock had its health sapped away by Leech Seed, so it countered by blowing itself up with 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 Hitmonchan, Monlee. With his speed and super effective hits, Monlee was able to easily defeat Registeel, only to quickly fall to bad poisoning from a secret Toxic attack.
The last to be used was Regice, who faced Emerald's borrowed Cubone, Bonee. Due to Regice's type, Bonee was at a disadvantage and was knocked out after a short time. Although confident that he had won their battle, Brandon was shocked to see that Sceptile had been revived in secret and defeated Regice with an Iron Tail, making Emerald the winner of the battle. In Skirting Around Surskit I, Regice was used to attack Guile Hideout in order to get revenge for Noland's injuries in the Artisan Cave. The attack did nothing to Guile, who simply swung his sword and sent Regice flying.
HeartGold & SoulSilver arc
In All About Arceus IX, it was revealed that three Pokémon were lent to Palmer at one point. Palmer took them to the Snowpoint Temple, where he awakened and captured the Legendary Pokémon Regigigas.
Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc
In PS612, Regirock and Regice were seen helping Brandon fight and subdue the Admins of Neo Team Magma and Neo Team Aqua.
