Registeel (Japanese: レジスチル Registeel) is a Steel-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

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

It is a member of the Legendary titans along with Regirock, Regice, Regieleki, and Regidrago.

Biology

The top-half of Registeel's body is spherical and gray with a black stripe running down its "face". Its face consists of seven red dots in a hexagonal formation. It has black arms with three fingers each and cylindrical legs.

While Registeel has been classified as a Steel-type Pokémon, its body is hollow and made of a material that is harder than any known metal. However, this material stretches and shrinks despite its hardness. Registeel's body was tempered by pressure underground over thousands of years, as a result, it cannot get a scratch. It was sealed away in ruins by people during ancient times. It is unknown what Registeel can eat.

In Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, Regice was a guardian of the Tree of Beginning. Registeel first attacked Team Rocket, but when they tried to flee, it attacked Ash and his friends too. After everyone was saved by Mew, Registeel and the other guardians realized they were not a danger and left to continue their duties.

Brandon's Registeel

Registeel made its main series debut in Overjoyed!, in which Brandon used his Registeel against Ash and Torkoal for a battle that it would win. In Pace - The Final Frontier! it and Regirock blasted off Team Rocket. Brandon brought Registeel to Sinnoh with him in A Pyramiding Rage! and Pillars of Friendship!.

Minor appearances

Registeel debuted in the opening sequence of Destiny Deoxys.

In the opening sequence of The Rise of Darkrai, a Registeel, Regirock, and Regice fired Hyper Beams that combined into one.

In PK18, a Registeel sent Meowth and his cronies blasting off after they mistook him for a floating Pokémon.

A Registeel appeared in a flashback in Pillars of Friendship!.

Pokédex entries

In the manga

Registeel in Pokémon Adventures

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Main article: Brandon's Registeel

Registeel debuted in The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XIV, when Drake attempted to open the Ancient Tomb. Together, Steven and Sapphire created a team consisting of four Beldum and Sapphire's Relicanth and Wailord, thus opening up the chamber containing Registeel, as well as the other two titans, Regirock and Regice. Registeel used Superpower to stop Groudon and Kyogre from spreading destruction. After the battle, it and the other two titans—left weak and powerless—traveled to the mountains, where they were later caught by Brandon shortly before the opening ceremony of the Battle Frontier.

Brandon used Registeel first in his battle with Emerald, where it squared off against the Hitmonchan the boy borrowed from Crystal. Though Registeel took considerable damage from the accumulation of many Fire Punches and was eventually beaten by a strong Sky Uppercut attack, it managed to cause its opponent to faint as well with a clever Toxic maneuver. It has not been seen since.

In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga

Registeel, along with the other two Legendary titans, are seen under the possession of Candice. She uses them against Hareta to test his worthiness to challenge Regigigas in A Novel Test!!.

In the TCG

Trophy information

Non-English European sprites

Diamond and Pearl

Trivia

• In the non-English European versions of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, Registeel's sprite was edited because of its arm. The arm's original position is reminiscent of the Nazi salute. In Pokémon Platinum, the sprite was changed for all regions to the continental European variation (this change was retained in HeartGold and SoulSilver).
• In the international versions of Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, there is an unobtainable Registeel Doll programmed into the game. It was unlockable with the Japan-exclusive Regi-Dolls Decoration set e-Reader card.
• Registeel is tied with Probopass for the highest base Special Defense stat of all Steel-type Pokémon.
• Registeel shares both its standard and hidden Abilities with the Beldum evolutionary family.
• Registeel is the only Legendary titan to not have one of its stats reach 200.

Origin

Registeel may be 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, or even killed in some legends. Given its metallic construction, Registeel may also be based on a humanoid robot.

The five Legendary titans may be collectively themed after historical epochs, with Registeel representing the Iron Age.

Name origin

Registeel is the combination of the words regis (Latin for royal) and steel.
