Registeel <sup>(JPJapanese: レジスチル

Romaji: Registeel)</sup> is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a Steel legendary Pokémon that made its first appearance in the third generation games Ruby and Sapphire. It is part of the Legendary giants along with Regirock, Regice, Regigigas, Regidrago and Regieleki.

Physiology and Behaviour

Registeel is a large robotic Pokémon. Most of Registeel's body is spherical and gray while the middle of its face has the appearance of being exposed as it shows black "skin" and is surrounded by raised metal. Registeel's lower half is disc-like in shape and has two cylindrical legs without toes. Its face consists of seven red dots in a hexagonal formation, and it has black arms with three fingers each that are connected to its upper half by gray hemispherical shoulders. The backs of its hands have three red triangles pointing away from the fingers.

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. While one Pokédex entry noted that the material that forms Registeel's body is extraterrestrial, it is also theorized that Registeel was actually born inside the Pokémon world's mantle, before emerging onto the surface 10,000 years ago. Further evidence supporting this theory is the fact that Registeel's body was tempered by pressure underground over thousands of years; as a result, it cannot be scratched. Another theory posits that Registeel was created by Regigigas out of magma. It is unknown what Registeel can eat. It was sealed away in ruins by people during ancient times.

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 (which would be retained in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver).
  • This also makes Registeel the only Pokémon whose Pokéwalker sprite is not its Diamond and Pearl one (not counting alternate forms of Pokémon that were introduced in Platinum).
• Registeel is tied with Probopass for the highest base Special Defense stat of all Steel-type Pokémon.
• Registeel is the only legendary giant:
  • To not have one of its base stats reach 200.
  • To have base Attack and Special Attack stats that are not multiples of 10.
