Biology
Regieleki opening its arms
Regieleki is an electric golem-like Pokémon made mostly of electric energy generated by a single organ. It has a round yellow body with three spikes on top of its head, and a pattern of seven pink dots on its face that resembles the letter "X". Regieleki's arms are shaped like lightning and usually appear bunched together, while its legs are tiny and resemble both lightning bolts and an electrical plug. Its body can glow bright yellow when attacking. Regieleki has five blue rings on its body, with two on the base of its arms acting as its shoulders, and the other three located at the bottom connecting to its legs.
According to legend, Regieleki was created by Regigigas using pure electric energy. The blue rings are insulated and cannot conduct electricity, and are believed to have been put on it by ancient people who were tormented by it, in order to restrain its powers.[1]. It is said that if the rings on its body were to be removed, Regieleki would be able to unleash its latent powers. Regieleki absorbs electrons in order to stay alive and is said to have the greatest power of any Electric-type Pokémon,[1] being powerful enough to generate all of Galar's electricity. It can trap its foes inside a cage of sparking electricity that inflicts damage overtime.
Regieleki is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Thunder Cage. It is also the only known Pokémon that can have Transistor as an Ability.

Trivia
Origin
Regieleki appears to be based on the concept of an electric charge being restrained by electrical insulation. Its overall shape resembles an incandescent light bulb, its restraints resemble electrical coils, its arms resemble electric arcs, and its legs resemble a power plug. As an electric generator found in ancient ruins, its inspiration may also be drawn from an out-of-place artifact (OOPART), such as the Baghdad Battery.
Along with the other legendary giants, Regieleki 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. Regieleki's face, which 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 Regieleki representing the Modern Age.
Name origin
Regieleki may be a combination of regis (Latin for royal) and エレキ ereki (Japanese for electric).
