'''Reg''' (Japanese: '''ぎー''' ''Gī'') is a {{p|Regigigas}} that {{adv|Diamond}} owns in [[Pokémon Adventures]] and his sixth overall. Prior to the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}} Reg was owned by [[Tower Tycoon Palmer|Palmer]], but was released soon after. As of ''[[PS434|Alternate Dimension Showdown IV]]'', it is at level 75 and its [[Characteristic]] is "sturdy body."

==History==
==={{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}===
Prior to ''[[PS460|All About Arceus IX]]'', Reg was awakened by {{FB|Tower Tycoon|Palmer}} with the help of {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s {{TP|Brandon|legendary titans}} so that it could be used to stop a legendary crisis in [[Sinnoh]] in the case that there was one. Since it was not necessary at the time, Palmer {{pkmn2|released}} it back into [[Snowpoint Temple]].

==={{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}===
Reg first appeared at the Snowpoint Temple as a silhouette in ''[[PS400|Bogging Down Quagsire]]'' after {{adv|Platinum}}, [[Maylene]], and [[Candice]] ended up camping there after their defeat at the hands of [[Jupiter]]. It let loose a growling noise that startled Platinum, causing her to pull out a [[Poké Ball]] in case it was a wild Pokémon that she would need to catch for their safety; however, she fell unconscious from her injuries and the Poké Ball fell and rolled towards Reg, who went inside the Poké Ball.

In ''[[PS415|Double Trouble with Dialga and Palkia V]]'', during the final battle with [[Cyrus]] on the [[Spear Pillar]], Regigigas appeared from out of Platinum's bag to save {{adv|Diamond}} and {{p|Mamoswine|Moo}} from entering a black hole. After saving him, Regigigas decided to choose Diamond as its {{pkmn|Trainer}} and the two go to battle against {{adv|Creation trio|Dialga and Palkia}}. Reg managed to grab Dialga and Palkia and pin them down so that the black hole they created while fighting would not be able to widen any further than it already had. Although it was able to stop them briefly, Dialga and Palkia were encouraged by Cyrus to fight even harder. The power they expelled became too great for Reg to handle and it was sent flying and defeated. Later, it was used to carry several [[Gym Leader]]s to a hospital after the battle had ended.

==={{chap|Platinum}}===
In ''[[PS430|Unplugging Rotom (Heat, Wash, Mow, Fan, Frost)]]'', Diamond revealed that even though Reg was now his Pokémon, it refused to come out of its Poké Ball, and he enlisted the help of [[Dr. Footstep]] to see if he could read its footprints to figure out what is wrong with it.
[[File:Diamond and Reg.png|thumb|200px|left|Reg and Diamond]]
[[PS431|Soon after]], a {{DL|Creation trio (Adventures)|Giratina}} arrived from the [[Distortion World]] and begun wreaking havoc on [[Eterna City]]. Reg quickly let itself out from its Poké Ball to battle the Renegade Pokémon. However, it was soon forced to switch opponents when it was attacked by [[Charon]]'s {{p|Heatran}}. The Lava Dome Pokémon proved to be a tough opponent with its strength and {{type|Fire}} moves, but Reg managed to deal heavy damage with its {{m|Crush Grip}} and nearly defeat it.

In ''[[PS433|The Final Dimensional Duel III]]'', when Diamond was attacked and seemingly killed by a {{m|Shadow Force}} from Giratina after pushing {{adv|Pearl}} out of the way of the attack, Reg suddenly turned around and appeared to leave. However, Reg quickly returned and revealed that it only left to bring the appliances to allow {{TP|Diamond|Rotom}} to change forms and attack Charon. When Giratina tried to attack it from behind, Reg simply tossed it on Heatran and throws a large pile of snow on the two. When Pearl traveled to the Distortion World, he held Reg's Poké Ball since Diamond had mysteriously disappeared beforehand.

In ''[[PS439|The Final Dimensional Duel IX]]'', at the Distortion World, Charon sennt Heatran out to attack Diamond and Pearl, causing Reg to come out of its Poké Ball once again to fight it a second time. As their battle continued, several other [[Legendary Pokémon]] joined the fight. During the battle, Reg, along with several others, were put to {{status|sleep}} by {{p|Darkrai}}'s {{m|Dark Void}}; however, {{p|Shaymin}} managed to save them by turning their [[Ability|Abilities]] to {{a|Insomnia}} with {{m|Worry Seed}}, saving them from Giratina's {{m|Dragon Pulse}}. The battle with Giratina ended when it attempts to escape, leaving only the Pokémon that could fly to be able to chase it back into the real world. After Charon and Giratina were defeated, Reg, along with the other Legendary Pokémon, emerged from the Distortion World with [[Paka and Uji]] in its hands. It was then revealed to have chosen to stay as a part of Diamond's team.

==Personality and characteristics==
Little is known about Reg's personality, as it displays no facial expression and only appears during times of grave crisis that it deems as threatening towards the entire [[Sinnoh]] region. In these cases, Reg is capable of emerging from its [[Poké Ball]] by itself in order to intervene, without the command of its {{pkmn|Trainer}}. In its few appearances, [[Dr. Footstep]] analyzed its footprints which showed Reg's loyalty to Sinnoh and willingness to protect the peace, as well as deep lamentation for {{adv|Diamond}} when he was supposedly killed by {{DL|Creation trio (Adventures)|Giratina}}'s {{m|Shadow Force}}. As a [[Legendary Pokémon]], Reg has demonstrated immense strength which allows it to take on other Legendary Pokémon and stop them in their tracks, although it can get worn out over prolonged battling.
