Regigigas(JP) is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a Normal legendary Pokémon that made its first appearance in the fourth generation games Diamond and Pearl. It is the master and creator of the Legendary giants, Regice, Regirock, Registeel, Regieleki and Regidrago.

Physiology and Behaviour[]

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, refering to the colors of the original giants. Regigigas 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.

Regigigas is a skilled craftsman. It created the giants out of inanimate objects and elemental energies, bringing them to life. Regigigas is also capable of controlling these Legendary giants, even if they already belong to a different Trainer. It can also survive extreme conditions as it is able to work with the boiling temperatures of magma (1300-2400 °F [700-1300 °C]) as well as frigid ice (-328 °F [-200 °C]). When Regigigas is disturbed from its slumber, it goes on a rampage and shoots powerful beams of energy. It is able to crush targets by using its signature move, Crush Grip. According to Sinnoh legend, Regigigas's strength enables it to move continents. Regigigas can be summoned or awakened by the Legendary giants.

Other Pokémon games[]

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness: Regigigas appears as a statue, along with four Bronzong and four Hitmonlee, in Aegis Cave. When the player's team and Team Charm reach them, the statues come to life and battle the two teams. After being defeated, Regigigas rises again and smashes the ground with its fist, causing the earth outside to heave up and reveal the entrance to the Concealed Ruins. Afterward, Regigigas can be battled again and recruited.

Regigigas appeared as a Spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Regigigas' anime appearance.

Regigigas appeared in Giratina and the Sky Warrior, in which it attempted to stop a glacier from destroying Ten'i Village.

In Pokémon Generations, a wild Regigigas was awakened in the Snowpoint Temple by a nearby battle between Red's Pikachu and a wild Probopass. It proceeded to easily smack Probopass aside, shrug off Pikachu's Electric attack, and retaliate with a devastating attack of its own.

Trivia[]

  • Due to its Ability weakening it, Regigigas has more in common with Slaking than it does with other Legendary Pokémon. They share the same Normal type, the same base stat total of 670, the same base Attack stat of 160, and Abilities that limit their power.
    • Regigigas and Slaking also have the highest base Attack stat of all Normal-type Pokémon.
  • Regigigas is the only one of the Legendary giants not to have its type referenced in its name.
  • Regigigas and Eternatus have very similar category names in Japanese, with the only difference being in how they're written: Regigigas's category name is in hiragana (きょだいポケモン), while Eternatus's category name is in katakana (キョダイポケモン). In either case, the category name is pronounced the same: Kyodai Pokémon.
