Regigigas (Japanese:レジギガスRegigigas) is aNormal-typeLegendary Pokémon introduced inGeneration IV.

It is not known toevolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Regigigas is the creator of thelegendary giants, often viewed as theirleader by fans.

Biology

Regigigas is a large, white, golem-likePokémon. It has large yellow bands on its shoulders and wrists, and a yellow sloping section on its chest that appears to be its head. This section contains 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 gems around around its head, the upper ones are red, the middle ones are teal, and the bottom ones are gray. Regigigas has long arms, with three fairly human-like white fingers, and short legs. Its body is covered in black stripes, and it has large bushes of moss growing in its back and feet.

Regigigas is an extremely skilled craftsman. Long ago, it created five golems in its image and brought them to life. It usedice,rocks,magma, a cluster ofelectric energy, and crystallizeddragon energy to create these golems. They would become known as theLegendary PokémonRegice,Regirock,Registeel,Regieleki, andRegidrago. Regigigas is also capable of controlling these legendary giants, even if they already belong to aTrainer. It can also survive extreme conditions as it is able to work with the boiling temperatures of magma 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. However, it becomes calm and gentler if befriended. According to an enduringSinnohlegend, after it created thelegendary giants, Regigigas pulled landmasses together and binded them with ropes to create theregions of thePokémon world. At some point, Regigigas fell into a deep sleep inside theSnowpoint Temple. To reawaken it, one must unlock the door the chamber where Regigigas is sealed in.

Regigigas is theonly known Pokémon capable of learning the moveCrush Grip. Prior toGeneration IX,Slow Start was itssignatureAbility.

Major appearances

Regigigas debuted inGiratina and the Sky Warrior. It lives in a temple in the mountains ofTen'i Village and had been asleep for centuries, subsequently having moss growing on its feet and shoulders. However, whenZero entered theReverse World and began shattering pillars of ice within it, the glacier in front of Regigigas' temple suffered catastrophic explosions and began moving. This disturbed its slumber, rousing it into action. WhenDawn's Buneary andSwinub failed to stop the glacier with the help of a large group ofwild Pokémon, Regigigas appeared and commanded a herd of dozens ofMamoswine to hold the glacier back. Once the crisis was resolved, Regigigas returned to its temple. It was last seen usingHyper Beam onTeam Rocket during the ending credits.

Regigigas made its animated series debut inPillars of Friendship! at theSnowpoint Temple.J wanted to steal it, and a result, it was rudely awakened. It went on a rampage afterwards, using Hyper Beam on anything. It even usedConfuse Ray to controlBrandon's set oflegendary giants and force them to help it. At the end of the episode, it healed Brandon and his giants usingHidden Power to restore them from their petrification. It was then taken back to the temple to return to its slumber.

InChasing to the Finish!, aDynamax Regigigas was awakened in theCrown Tundra afterProject Mew succeeded in gathering all the legendary giants together.

Trivia

• Due toits Abilityweakening it, Regigigas has more in common withSlaking than it does with otherLegendary Pokémon. They share the sameNormaltype, the same base stat total of 670, the same baseAttack stat of 160, andAbilities that limit their power.
  • Regigigas and Slaking also have the highest baseAttack stat of all Normal-typePokémon.
• Regigigas is the only one of thelegendary giants not to have its type referenced in its name.
• In Platinum, by hacking to obtainCherish Balls, it is possible to trick the game into openingRock Peak,Iceberg, andIron Ruins: by catching the in-game Regigigas in a Cherish Ball, the game thinks the Regigigas was obtained at an event.
• InGeneration IV, Regigigas is the only Pokémon required to acquire thediploma that cannot be obtained without the use ofPal Park or an event, even with all Generation IV titles. This limitation occurs because Regigigas cannot be obtained without the use of the other legendary giants, which in turn cannot be obtained without eithertransferring them fromGeneration III or obtaining them in Platinum with an event Regigigas.
• Regigigas is the onlyGeneration IV Legendary Pokémon whose Attack stat is higher than itsSpecial Attack stat.
• Regigigas,Magikarp, andGyarados are the threePokémon that can be encountered in thewild at the lowest and highest levels.
  • Regigigas is the lowest-leveled Legendary Pokémon that can be encountered in the wild, being level 1 when fought inPokémon Platinum.
  • Regigigas also has the highest level of any scripted Pokémon encounter in the wild at level 100 inThe Crown Tundra, tied with the ShadowGiratina inRamanas Park inPokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
• InHeartGold and SoulSilver, Regigigas has the widestoverworld sprite of all Pokémon.
• Regigigas andEternatus have very similar category names in Japanese, with the only difference being in how they're written: Regigigas's category name is inhiragana (きょだいポケモン), while Eternatus's category name is inkatakana (キョダイポケモン). In either case, the category name is pronounced the same:Kyodai Pokémon.
• InPokémon Legends: Arceus, Regigigas is the only Legendary Pokémon whoseresearch tasks for thePokédex do not involve seeing it use itssignature move.

Origin

Regigigas seems to be based on thegolems of Hebrew legend. Specifically, Regigigas seems to have parallels to the Legendary Golem of Prague, whose immense power also intimidated people, and which ultimately resulted in it being subdued and sealed away. The seven eyes on Regigigas's face may be based on theBraille alphabet, which was necessary to use in order to encounter thelegendary giants for the first time in theSealed Chamber, possibly alluding to the writing placed on the forehead of Hebrew golems.

Alternatively, Regigigas may be based on theTitans ofGreek mythology, with it being sealed away likely being a reference to the aftermath of thetitanomachy, which resulted in the titans being imprisoned in the underworld.

Regigigas also shares some similarities with theDaidarabotchi, a giganticyōkai. Regigigas's Pokédex entries seem to reference theKunibiki myth, which describes howOumitsunu, a demigod said to have the strength and size of a Daidarabotchi, pulled huge chunks of land via ropes to expand his kingdom.

Regigigas's three pairs of gems might represent its servant golems that were introduced before it: the red pair might representRegirock, the blue pair might representRegice, and the gray pair might representRegisteel. Its overall form also resembles that of aBlemmyes.

Name origin

Regigigas may be a combination ofregis (Latin for royal) andgigas (Latin for giant).
