Pokémon Crown Tundra: Regi Locations And Puzzle Solutions

Regieleki and Regidrago puzzle solution, temple location and which one to choose

Finally, there's a fourth temple to head to, which works just slightly differently. This time you'll be faced with a choice between one of the two new Regis: you can only catch one, and will need to trade for the other, so will you take Regieleki, the Electric-type, or Regidrago, the Dragon-type?

Regieleki and Regidrago temple location

Regieleki and Regidrago's temple is located "on this distant paths of Three-Point Pass", and as the clue says, it's a bit of a trek.

To get there, you need to first go through Giant's Bed via the lower path of the Old Cemetary. But this time at the end, hang hard left.

You'll reach a small area with another short river in it, called Giant's Foot. Head into the tunnel via the river here to go through an area called Roaring Sea Caves.

This is a fairly complex network of tunnels that are well worth exploring, given the rarity of the Pokémon and items available, but if you want to get straight through here are the directions:

• Go along the river until the end. Grab some items in the room on the left, then head into the tunnel, right.
• At the end of the tunnel you reach a room with several exits. Go straight ahead, downhill.
• Turn right at the bottom of the hill, onto a ramp that doubles back onto itself.
• Continue straight on at the bottom, into another tunnel and out the other side onto the Frigid Sea.

Once you're at the Frigid Sea, you're almost there. Go onto the sea itself and immediately turn right, looping round the block of ice to go back onto the next bit of land.

Continue up the short hill until you're stood amongst the three big prongs coming out of the ground - the temple is on your left!

Regieleki and Regidrago temple puzzle solution

The puzzle here is "A giant of rock, a giant of ice, a giant of steel, when gather the three giants, the door of destiny shall be opened." It's simple enough: put all three other Regis - Regirock, Regice, Registeel - into your party and the door will open.

Inside, however, there's a different puzzle. Lighting up all the pads on the floor won't work. Instead, you need to light up specific floor pads depending on which one you want to fight and catch out of Regieleki and Regidrago.

The solution is on the Adventure Clue page for this two-coloured temple, as well as the top of the temple itself. Look at the top and you'll see two different symbols made in dots. The one on the yellow background is for Regieleki, the purple background for Regidrago. Light up the floor pads in the symbol for the Pokémon that you want, and the puzzle will be solved!

How to choose between Regieleki and Regidrago

Regieleki and Regidrago are both strong Pokémon in their own right, and much more competitively viable than any of the other Regis here.

Regieleki has the highest Speed stat of any Pokémon, ever, and good offensive stats. Its Speed is so high, in fact, that if you're competitively training it then you can actually put all your EVs into its other stats and it'll still outspeed the vast majority of the competition, making it a hugely viable sweeper. The downside is it has a narrow move pool, but its ability, Transistor, powers up all Eletric-type moves by 50%, meaning an Electric-type attack from Regieleki actually does more damage than a super effective one of equal power in another type. Basically, it has built-in type coverage!

Regidrago, meanwhile, has not great Speed and low defensive stats, but decent attacking power and extremely high HP. It's less obvious a choice, but actually could make for a good Trick Room option competitively, and its Dragon's Maw ability works the same as Regieleki's Transistor, giving it a huge 50% boost to Dragon-type attacks on top of the same type attack bonus (STAB). A bit more situational, but still viable!

How to catch Regieleki or Regidrago

As for catching your Regi of choice, the same rules apply as always: bring a good catcher Pokémon - one with high Attack stats, False Swipe, and at least one status effect move like Thunder Wave or Hypnosis, like Bisharp or Gallade. And make sure the rest of your party is nice and bulky with good Electric or Dragon resistances, like Ground or Fairy, which are both immune respectively, so you can sit there and take Regieleki or Regidrago's hits while you wait to catch it. It's Level 70 once again.

With that last one caught, you're all done for this adventure! Head back to our Crown Tundra walkthrough hub for more, or jump straight into the next adventure, where we detail how to catch Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres in The Crown Tundra, if you like.
