CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Regigigas appears as a builder in several legends of the Pokémon world. It is said to have shaped other Pokémon in its own image from rock, ice and magma. Another tradition credits it with the strength to move continents by pulling them with ropes. The Pokédex presents these stories as beliefs handed down, rather than direct observations. Their common feature is the immense scale of the works attributed to this solitary Pokémon.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Black names three materials in the legend of Regigigas's creations: ice, rock and magma. Pokémon Y tells how it supposedly pulled continents with ropes. These stories echo one another, but neither entry presents those feats as measured facts.
