The Snowpoint Temple (Japanese: キッサキ神殿 Kissaki Temple) is a location in Snowpoint City. It is home to the Legendary Pokémon Regigigas. The temple cannot be entered until the player has entered the Hall of Fame and obtained the National Pokédex.
In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl, Regigigas appears on the bottom floor as a statue and will not awaken unless the Legendary giants—Regice, Regirock, and Registeel—are in the player's party. The temple has six floors: one ground floor and five basement levels, and the floors feature many puzzles involving sliding on ice tiles.
In Sinnoh's distant past as Hisui, the Snowpoint Temple is at the far northern end of the Alabaster Icelands above the Pearl Settlement. Its layout is almost inverted from its Sinnoh counterpart—it is five floors high (including the rooftop) and has one basement level. The temple has puzzles which involve observing statues of the Legendary giants arranged in specific patterns around the floor. Regigigas is found on the bottom floor and only appears during Mission 24: "The Plate of Snowpoint Temple". Braviary is obtained here as a Ride Pokémon.
In the core series
Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl
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 Steel types, 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.

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.

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.
