Regigigas (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

}}

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

Regigigas is a large, white, golem-like Pokémon with seven black circular "eyes" arranged in a specific pattern. The pattern is Regigigas's way of showing its anger; its eyes glow red when it is provoked. It has six spots that are apart from its eyes, which appear to be gemstones. These gemstones seem to represent the other three Regis, with red gems representing {{p|Regirock}}, blue gems indicating {{p|Regice}}, and silver gems representing {{p|Registeel}}. It has long arms, with three fairly human-like white fingers, and short legs that end in large mossy bushes instead of feet. Regigigas has large yellow bands on its shoulders and wrists, with a sloping section on its chest that appears to be its head and is also yellow. Its body is covered in black stripes, and it has moss growing in its back and feet. According to Sinnoh legend, Regigigas's strength enables it to move continents.

==In the anime==

Another Regigigas appeared in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'' at the [[Snowpoint Temple]]. [[J]] wanted to steal it so it was rudely awakened by her. It went on a rampage after, using Hyper Beam on practically anything. It even used {{m|Confuse Ray}} to control [[Pyramid King Brandon]]'s set of {{TP|Brandon|legendary titans}} to help it. At the end of the episode, it healed Brandon and his titans using {{m|Hidden Power}} to restore them from their petrification. It was then taken back to the temple to return to its slumber.

A Regigigas appeared in the second {{series|XY}} {{pkmn|movie}}, ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''. One hundred years prior to the events of the movie, it was summoned by {{an|Hoopa}} alongside a {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}}. The three fought Hoopa in [[Dahara City]] but were easily defeated and sent back through portals to their original homes; in Regigigas's case, this was a snowy mountain range.

A Regigigas appeared as part of Meowth's [[boss fantasy]] in ''[[DP173|Dealing With a Fierce Double Ditto Drama!]]'', alongside Giratina.

A Regigigas appeared in the opening scenes of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

{{Spritebox/Footer|486|Regigigas}}

* Regigigas is the only {{type|Normal}} [[Legendary Pokémon]].

* Due to {{a|Slow Start|its Ability}} weakening it, Regigigas has more in common with {{p|Slaking}} than it does with other [[Legendary Pokémon]]. They share the {{t|Normal}} type, the same base stat total of 670, the same base {{stat|Attack}} stat of 160, and {{Abilities}} that limit their power.

* Regigigas is the only one of the [[Legendary titans]] not to have its type in its name.

** Regigigas is also the only one of the Legendary titans that does not use the remix of the Legendary titan battle theme in {{v2|Platinum}} or {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. Instead, it uses the Sinnoh Legendary battle theme, much like in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}.

*** In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, however, the remix of the Legendary titan battle theme is used.

* In Platinum, by hacking to obtain {{ball|Cherish}}s, it is possible to trick the game into opening [[Rock Peak Ruins|Rock Peak]], [[Iceberg Ruins|Iceberg]], and [[Iron Ruins]]: by catching the in-game Regigigas in a Cherish Ball, the game thinks the Regigigas was obtained at a Nintendo event.

* In [[Generation IV]], Regigigas is the only Pokémon required to acquire the [[Diploma]] that cannot be obtained without the use of [[Generation III]] games or an event, even with all Generation IV titles. This limitation occurs because Regigigas cannot be obtained without the use of the other Legendary titans, which in turn cannot be obtained without either importing them from Generation III or obtaining them in Platinum with an event Regigigas.

* Regigigas is the only [[Generation IV]] Legendary Pokémon whose Attack stat is higher than its {{stat|Special Attack}} stat.

* Regigigas is the lowest-leveled Legendary Pokémon that can be encountered in the wild, being level 1 when fought in {{game|Platinum}}.

===Origin===

Regigigas 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.
