The Snowpoint Temple is a temple at the northernmost point of the Sinnoh region. Throughout the temple are ice-sliding puzzles, and at one point Strength is necessary to obtain an item. The wild Pokémon that can be found inside the temple are mostly cave and Ice-type Pokémon. The Snowpoint Temple has no Trainers; only the chosen are permitted to enter the temple. On the bottom floor of the temple there is an immobilized statue of Regigigas. In the Sinnoh games, this Regigigas statue will animate when Regirock, Regice, and Registeel are all in the player's party and can be battled and captured.
Legends: Arceus
In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Snowpoint Temple is a multi-leveled structure with floors full of puzzles and strong wild Pokémon. The first floor has a parallel rows of stone statues facing each other. Each statue is adorned with one of three symbols representing the Rock, Ice, and Steeltypes, which correspond to Regirock, Regice, and Registeel, respectively. The next three upper floors have the same statues arranged in specific locations. No wild Pokémon spawn on these floors. The roof of the temple is accessible.
Regigigas is able to be encountered after obtaining the Stone Plate, Icicle Plate, and Iron Plate, the plates associated with the types of the related Regis. Interacting with a large door on the first floor with the plates in the player's Satchel will cause it to open and reveal a set of staircases leaeding to the lowest level. After catching Regigigas, the player then receives the Blank Plate.

In Pillars of Friendship!, the Regigigas residing in it went on rampage after J destroyed the three pillars that protected it. However, it was calmed down by the end of the episode. Brandon later decided to stay at the temple to fix the damage J had caused.
Snowpoint Temple appeared in The Adventure. Red's Pikachu was seen battling a wildProbopass outside of the temple, until the commotion caused Regigigas to awaken from its slumber and emerge from the temple to attack the two Pokémon.
The Snowpoint Temple appeared in Bogging Down Quagsire, where Platinum sought shelter from a snowstorm inside it after she, Maylene, and Candice had been defeated by Jupiter at Lake Acuity. She heard a rumble coming from farther inside the temple, and assumed it was a wild Pokémon. She prepared to catch it if necessary, but quickly fainted out of exhaustion. The Poké Ball she was holding slipped out of her hand and rolled towards a large dark figure deeper within the temple.
The temple was mentioned again in All About Arceus IX, where Palmer revealed that he had awakened and caught Regigigas there by borrowing Brandon's Legendary giants. However, it had proved too much for him to handle, and he was intending to release it back into the temple.
