Pokémon world locations

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, 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. Braviary is obtained here as a Ride Pokémon.

Role

The temple's exterior

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.

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.

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.
