Regirock (Japanese: レジロック Regirock) is a Template:Type2 legendary Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

It is, along with Regice and Registeel, one of the three legendary golems of Hoenn.

Biology

Physiology

Regirock is a large golem made of rocks. Regirock has a pattern on its face that resembles a capital letter "H." An interesting thing about Regirock is that the rocks it is made of come from several different places. The reason for this is that whenever it gets damaged in battle, it searches for rocks to repair itself with. This habit also contributes to Regirock's patchwork appearance. What is even stranger is that Regirock has no internal organs.

Gender differences

Regirock is genderless.

Special abilities

Regirock mostly knows Rock, Ground and Template:Type2 attacks. For some odd reason, Regirock can learn Electrical attacks, more specifically the move Zap Cannon that it learns naturally. If Regirock is damaged, it can repair itself by building its body with rocks.

Behavior

If Regirock’s body is damaged in battle, it is said to seek out suitable rocks on its own to repair itself.

Habitat

Cave Pokémon

Regirock was sealed in Hoenn's ancient ruins.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

As Regirock has no sign of a brain or heart, it is possible that it does not have a stomach either or it otherwise may have no need to eat in a conventional way.

Regirock's first appearance, in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew

Regirock from the anime

Major appearances

Brandon's Regirock

Regirock was used by Brandon in Battling the Enemy Within. He used it to battle Ash when he was being possessed by the King of Pokélantis.

Brandon's Regirock also made a brief appearance in Pace - The Final Frontier! along with Registeel where they blasted off Team Rocket.

Brandon used his Regirock again in A Pyramiding Rage! in his battle against Paul, easily taking out Paul's Hariyama, Electabuzz, Ursaring, and Magmar.

Minor appearances

Regirock made an appearance with Regice and Registeel in the 8th Pokémon movie, Lucario and the Mystery of Mew. The trio of legendary golems were guardians of the Tree of Beginning, and attacked Ash and his friends. He was the first of the three to do this. In the end Regirock and the other members of its trio turned away and kept on with protecting the Tree of Beginning.

Pokédex entries

Episode Pokémon Source Entry AG178 Regirock May's Pokédex Regirock, the Rock Peak Pokémon. It can use rocks to repair its own body.

Episode Pokémon Source Entry DP128 Regirock Dawn's Pokédex Regirock, the Rock Peak Pokémon. Regirock's body is made of rock and if something chips off in battle it attaches rocks to repair itself.

In the manga

Regice debuted near the end of the Ruby & Sapphire arc, when Sidney was attempted to open the Desert Ruins. Together, Steven and Sapphire created a team of four Beldum and Sapphire's Relicanth and Wailord, thus opening up the chamber containing Regirock, as well as the other two golems. Regirock used Superpower to stop Groudon and Kyogre from fighting. After the battle, it and the other two Regis, left weak and powerless, traveled to the mountains, where they were later caught by Brandon.

Brandon used Regirock first in his battle with Emerald, where it found Sceptile's Leech Seed attack to be of minor annoyance and knocked it out right away with its Explosion attack. However, while the Pyramid King's attention was focused on Jirachi's light coming from the horizon, Emerald was able to revitalize the fainted Sceptile with a Revive and win the battle.

Trivia

• Regirock is tied with Steelix for having the second highest Defense base stat of all Pokémon, only losing to Shuckle.
• Regirock, Regice, and Registeel are the only Pokémon to have Explosion as a starting move.
• In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, there is an unobtainable Regirock Doll programmed into the game. It may have been intended to be obtained with the e-Reader.
• In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Regirock was the only member of the Legendary Golems not to be used by a trainer that specialized in its type. Regice was used by Glacia, an Template:Type2 trainer, and Registeel was used by Steven Stone, a Template:Type2 trainer, while Regirock was used by Sidney and Drake, a Template:Type2 trainer and Template:Type2 trainer, respectively.
• For some reason, the pattern on Regirock's face is red in the games and yellow elsewhere.
• Its footprint bears resemblence to a scarab beetle.

Origin

This Pokémon is based on the golems of Hebrew legend. The legends cast them as servants of higher powers and are said to have writing on their heads. When the writing is removed, the creature would be weakened.
