Overview

Long ago, in the snowy forest of what is now Snowpoint City, Sinnoh, a great volcano threatened to erupt and destroy the forest. A mysterious bright blue light appeared, and four Pokémon emerged--Regigigas and its three guardians. Regigigas crafted each of its guardians out of raw materials, creating Regirock out of stone. The Pokémon stopped the volcanic eruption and saved the forest. After this, Regigigas sealed itself away and turned itself into stone, sending its protectors away to a distant region; anyone who wished to awaken it would have to bring back its guardians as well. This legend, taken from the Snowpoint Temple in Sinnoh, then connects to the Regi myth of Hoenn; Regirock was one of three Pokémon sealed away for being too powerful, transformed into a column of stone. The rocks making up its body come from all over the world, giving it a patchy appearance. If Regirock is injured, it simply repairs itself with any nearby stone it can find, hence its varied composition. Regirock communicates with others by flashing the lights on its head.
