Regice, Registeel and Regirock

Legendary golems is the collective term used to refer to the trio of Regirock, Regice, and Registeel. They are also known as the Regi trio or just the Regis, based on their names.

Unlike previous trios, the golems share very similar names, and their types are additionally estranged from the former Fire, Water/Ice, and Electric that the birds and beasts take on. Like them, however, these three have a master (and like the beasts, a creator) in Regigigas.

Also shared among the members of this trio is a single typing, which is weak to Template:Type2 moves. Each has seven dots for eyes, arranged in a different pattern, similar to the braille that is connected to their legend. Though unlike the birds and beasts, the golems do not have Pressure as their ability, they do share one in Clear Body.

In the anime, they appeared as somewhat less important than the previous two trios, even being trained, in Poké Balls, no less, by Brandon, while the birds are said to cause a cataclysm if even one is captured (as happened in the second movie) and the beasts are unable to be captured by conventional means. This does not, however, mean that these three are weaker than other legendary trios.

One of the many reasons why this trio is seen as "easily attainable" is because of the legends surrounding them. Long ago, Regigigas is said to have pulled the continents into place, and then created the three from an icy mountain, rocks, and magma in its image. Regigigas was apparently worshipped at one time, alongside the other three, by ancient people. Due to it being so powerful, Regigigas was sealed away in the basement of Snowpoint Temple, while the ones it created were spirited to the far-off Hoenn region and locked away in three stone structures, which were then sealed themselves. A message was left in braille to whoever would come to discover the Sealed Chamber, whose only access was via an underwater cavern, in the hopes that one day the Pokémon could be tamed.
