'''Legendary golems''' is the collective term used to refer to the [[Legendary trio|trio]] of {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}}. They are also known as the '''Regi trio''' or just the '''Regis''', based on their names.

Unlike previous trios, the golems share very similar names, and their types are further estranged from the original {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Ice}}, and {{t|Electric}} that the [[legendary birds|birds]] take on (two of the [[legendary beasts|beasts]] share types with the birds, while only {{p|Regice|one of the golems}} does). Like them, however, these three have a master (and like the beasts, a creator) in {{p|Regigigas}}.

Also shared among the members of this trio is a weakness to {{type2|Fighting}} moves. Each has seven dots for eyes, arranged in a different pattern, similar to the [[braille]] that is connected to their legend. Though unlike the birds and beasts, the golems do not have {{a|Pressure}} as their ability, they do share one in {{a|Clear Body}}.

In the anime and outside ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', they appeared as somewhat less important than the previous two trios, even being trained, in [[Poké Ball]]s, no less, by {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}, while the birds are said to cause a cataclysm if even one is captured (as happened in [[M02|the second movie]]) and the beasts are unable to be captured by conventional means.

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 [[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 Route 111. To encounter Regirock, the player must go two steps to the right, two steps down and then use {{m|Strength}}. Regice is found in the [[Island Cave]], on Route 105 and to encounter it a clockwise lap around the walls of the cave must be taken. Registeel is found in the [[Ancient Tomb]], on Route 120 and it is required to go to the middle of the room and use {{m|Fly}} to open up Registeel's cave.

==Trivia==
[[Image:The_Three_Regis.png‎|thumb|250px|right|All three Regis in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'']]
* Due to their lack of a mystical legend, instead having a human-based one, some derisively refer to the group as "legendary trash cans".
* In {{g|Colosseum}}, the event needed to unlock the legendary golems is referenced in Battle Mode's Single Battle Mount Battle. The 90th Trainer, [[Area Leader]] Axley, has a party consisting of Regirock, Regice, Registeel, {{p|Flygon}}, {{p|Relicanth}}, and {{p|Wailord}}. Flygon is likely included because it can know {{m|Dig}}, required to unseal the golems.
* The trio can be caught in {{game|Platinum}}, where a remixed version of the music used in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} is played. There are three other instances in the [[main series]] that a legendary trio or one of its members can be caught in a place that is not their native region (one of the [[legendary beasts]] can be caught in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the [[legendary birds]] are available for capture in Platinum, roaming [[Sinnoh]], and {{p|Moltres}} is available for capture in [[Johto]]'s [[Mt. Silver]]).
**Also in Platinum, the trio became able to learn {{m|Stomp}}, which may have been added to prevent any of the trio knowing {{m|Explosion}} upon being encountered in the wild; The golems are encountered at Level 30, and thus with the addition of Stomp have passed the point where they would know Explosion.
* There have been two situations where the capturing method has had some sort of reversal. First, in [[Generation III]], the party positions of {{p|Wailord}} and {{p|Relicanth}} needed to open the sealed chamber are switched between {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and {{game|Emerald}}. Then, in [[Generation IV]], players need to migrate the trio into {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} in order to capture {{p|Regigigas}}, while a special [[fateful encounter|event]] {{p|Regigigas}} will allow players to capture the other three in Platinum.
* All three Regis are weak to the {{type2|Fighting}}.
**  Their [[trio master|master]], {{p|Regigigas}}, is also weak to the {{type2|Fighting}}.  
* Regirock, Regice, and Registeel are the only non-event Pokémon that, after the release of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, can only be captured in Generation III without a special event.
* The golems are the only legendary trio not to appear in the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series. 
* Their types could have been a reference to the three major ages in history, the Stone Age, Ice Age, and the Iron Age. Their master, Regigigas, could also be a reference to the era of Pangea, as it is famed by legend to have towed the continents in the Pokémon world.
