Legendary giants: Difference between revisions

{{incomplete|needs=Needs a manga section}}

 

'''Legendary golems''' is a collective fan term used to refer to the [[Legendary trio|trio]] of {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}}. Other fan terms include '''Regi trio''' and '''Regis'''.

One of the many reasons why this trio is seen as "easily attainable" is because of the legends surrounding them. Long ago, Regigigas is said to have pulled the continents into place, and then created the three from an icy mountain, rocks, and magma in its image. Regigigas was apparently worshiped at one time, alongside the other three, by ancient people. Due to it being so powerful, Regigigas was sealed away in the basement of the [[Snowpoint Temple]], while the ones 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}}.

===Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald===

In the Hoenn [[Generation III]] games, 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}} 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}} 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}} or {{m|Flash}}{{sup/3|E}} to open its cave.

The three golems are only obtainable in Pokémon Platinum if the {{player}} has a [[fateful encounter]] {{p|Regigigas}} in their party and has defeated the [[Elite Four]]. Regirock is obtainable in the [[Rock Peak Ruins]] on Route 228, Regice is obtainable in the [[Iceberg Ruins]] in Mt. Coronet and Registeel is obtainable in the [[Iron Ruins]] on Iron Island.  

All three legendary golems are obtainable in the [[Underground Ruins]]. However, to access the rooms where Registeel and Regice are special keys are required to enter. The two keys which can be obtained after facing Regirock can only be found in one of the games. The Iron Key for Registeel is found in Black 2 and the Iceberg Key for Regice is in White 2. It is still possible to use the [[Unova Link]] to upload data for that key into the other game to get Regice in Black 2 or Registeel in White 2 once the key from the other version has been found.

The legendary golems made their debut in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', guarding the [[Tree of Beginning]] from intruders. They each followed {{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}}, {{an|May}}, [[Max]], [[Kidd Summers|Kidd]], [[Jessie]], and [[James]] throughout the tunnel network beneath the Tree of Beginning. Once the intruders had all been consumed by the Tree, the legendary golems retreated.  

{{main|Brandon's Regis}}

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

In the {{chap|Emerald}}, [[Brandon]] (with the help of [[Scott]]) relocated the golems and captured all three of them. He used them in the battle against {{adv|Emerald}}, starting the battle with Regirock and ending it with Regice.

In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, it was revealed that [[Palmer]] loaned the three golems from [[Brandon]] in order to awaken [[Regigigas]], who later joined {{adv|Diamond}}'s team.

* The method used to catch the golems has changed in every game in which they have been obtainable:

* All of the legendary golems, including Regigigas, share a weakness to the {{type|Fighting}}.
