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.

Biology

Physiology

Regirock is a large golem made of rocks. Regirock has a braille 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 Fighting-type 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

Habitat

Regirock was sealed in Hoenn's ancient ruins.

Brandon's Regirock

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.

Regirock was also used by Pyramid King 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.

Trivia

  • Regirock is tied with Steelix for having the second highest Defense base stat of all Pokémon, only losing to Shuckle.
  • Regirock's footprint has a striking resemblance to a Scarab Beetle.
  • Regirock, Regice, and Registeel are the only Pokémon to have the strongest move by base attack power, Explosion, as a starting move.
  • It could also be based off of Stonehenge, a famous rock calander made by an anceint people.

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.

Name origin

Regirock's name comes from regius, which is Latin for royal, and the word rock.
