How to Get Regigigas
You can only get Regigigas after you’ve already completed Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. So no using Regigigas to plow through the Elite Four. This Legendary Pokémon is pretty much bragging rights at the point you get it. Here are the steps to capture Regigigas.
Go to Ramanas Park
After you’ve completed the game and gained access to Ramanas Park, you’re going to need to exchange your shards for three Discovery Slates.
Take the Discovery Slates to the Discovery Room
Once you have the three Discovery Slates, you’re going to have to go to the discovery and prepare for a tough battle.
Battle and Capture Regirock, Regice, and Registeel
By using the Discovery Slates in this room, you’ll challenge Regirock, Regice, and Registeel. They’re powerful Pokémon so be careful in your fight with them. Make sure that you capture them and not just knock them out. You’re going to need to capture the Legendary trio to get Regigigas.
Go to Snowpoint City
You can use Fly to fast travel to Snowpoint City. Once you’re there, ensure that Regirock, Regice, and Registeel are all in your party. You need to head into the Snowpoint Temple which is behind the city’s Pokémon Centre.
By the entrance, someone will stop you from entering. But if you’ve already beaten Cynthia then someone will come to give you permission. You can then enter freely without restrictions.
Head to the Lowest Point of the Snowpoint Temple
You’re going to have to solve some puzzles along the way. Once you’re at the bottom of the Snowpoint Temple, slide around the ice in the correct pattern and you’ll eventually encounter Regigigas. At that point, you can capture the legendary Pokémon.
The battle will only ensue if you have Regice, Regirock, and Registeel in your party. Regigigas will be Lvl 70 when you battle him.
