Regirock’s Habitats: A Multi-Game Journey

Regirock isn’t just lounging around waiting to be caught. You need to know where to look! Here’s a breakdown of its locations across different Pokémon games:

• Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald (Hoenn Region): Regirock resides in the Desert Ruins on Route 111. You’ll need the Relicanth and Wailord to unlock the sealed chamber leading to its location.
• Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire (Hoenn Remakes): The location remains the same, but the unlocking mechanic might be slightly different, but you’ll still need Relicanth and Wailord.
• Pokémon Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver (Post-Game): Regirock can be found in the Rock Peak Ruins inside Mt. Coronet, only accessible after obtaining the National Pokédex and possessing a Regigigas acquired from a Nintendo event or trade.
• Pokémon Black, White, Black 2, and White 2 (Unova Region – Transfer Required): Regirock cannot be directly caught in these games. You must transfer it from a previous game using the Pokémon Transfer system (formerly Pal Park, now Poke Transporter via Pokemon Bank).
• Pokémon X and Y (Kalos Region – Transfer Required): Similar to the Unova games, Regirock needs to be transferred from older generations.
• Pokémon Sun and Moon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon (Alola Region – Transfer Required): Transfer is again required, utilizing Pokémon Bank and Poke Transporter.
• Pokémon Sword and Shield (Galar Region – Crown Tundra DLC): In the Crown Tundra DLC, Regirock is located in the Rock Peak Ruins within the Giant’s Bed area. The ruins are distinguished by seven illuminated dots above the door, forming an “H” shape. You will need to step on all the dots to light them up before interacting with the statue inside.
• Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl (Sinnoh Remakes): The location remains the same, inside the Rock Peak Ruins inside Mt. Coronet. But it can only be accessed after obtaining the National Pokedex. You can capture Regirock in Ramanas Park after inserting a Rock Slab.
