Regidrago is a spherical, golem-like Pokémon. It has a dark red body made of crystallized dragon energy, with the energy being the densest at its central core. Its face has a pattern of seven blue dots that resembles the capital letter "Y". It has two red legs with black feet that are shaped like teeth. Its arms are black on the outside and dark red on the inside, and resemble a dragon's head; the right arm resembles a dragon's upper jaw, complete with horns and "eye sockets", while the left arm is shaped like a lower jaw. Two red spikes shaped like wings are located behind its back, although it doesn't use these to fly, as it is capable of floating in the air. Regidrago's body and the "eye sockets" on its right arm can glow pink when attacking.
According to legend, Regidrago was created by the Legendary PokémonRegigigas using crystallized dragon energy. It used to be worshipped by humans, however, at some point, ancient people started fearing its power and sealed it away in the Split-Decision Ruins. Regigigas ran out of crystals after building Regidrago's head and it was sealed away by ancient people, who feared the destruction it would cause should it ever be completed.[1] Due to its body composition, Regidrago is said to have the most powerful Dragon-type moves of all Pokémon,[1] along with the power of every Dragon-type Pokémon. Regidrago can fire an attack made of intense dragon energy by combining its arms to form a mouth[1]. There is an unproven academic theory that posits that Regidrago's arms originated from the head of an ancient dragon Pokémon. It can convert its life-force into power, attacking its opposers.
Pokémon UNITE: Regidrago appears as a wild Pokémon in the Full-Burst Battle! Dragon Dustup quickplay mode, and the Theia Sky Ruins (Groudon) map. Defeating it will make it advance towards one of the opposing team's goal zones while attacking opposing Pokémon on the way, scoring some points depending on its current HP and making said goal zone defenseless for a while upon reaching it. Its moves contain Dragon Energy, that can stun Pokémon in a straight shot and Crunch that can deal damage when it gets close. On Theia Sky Ruins, it spawns in the central area at 8:00.

Origin
Regidrago appears to be based on a dragon head and a crystal ball or a pearl held by an Asian dragon. Along with the other legendary giants, Regidrago may also be based on the golems of Hebrew legend. The legends cast them as servants of higher powers and are said to have writing on their heads. When the writing is removed, the creature would be weakened, or even killed in some legends. Regidrago's face that consists of seven dots may be based on the Braille alphabet which was used in the puzzle for encountering the legendary giants for the first time in the Sealed Chamber.
The five legendary giants may also collectively be themed after historical epochs, with Regidrago representing the Middle Ages, a period known for its legends of dragons. Alternatively, Regidrago may represent the Mesozoic, the era when dinosaurs walked the Earth, also known as the Age of Reptiles. Regidrago being the remnants of an ancient dragon or crystallized dragon energy may be a vague reference to fossil fuels.
Name origin
Regidrago and Regidorago may be a combination of regis (Latin for "royal") and dragon.
