- What is Regidrago? Why did Regigigas make Regidrago? Does Regidrago have anything to do with the Original Dragon that Reshiram, Kyurem, and Zekrom came from? Why is Regidrago in the Galar region? In this Pokemon Sword and Shield: The Crown Tundra video, we'll predict these things... and probably be wrong.

Gnoggin, hosted by its creator Lockstin, is a show delving into the mysteries of Pokemon! (and other games sometimes too). Explaining everything there is to explain! Why is each Pokemon given the type it has? What are their origins? What is the lore of the Pokemon world and the design inspirations? And what does it all have to do with alchemy? Let's Go find out! - เกม

So pretty much reigigigas is an alchemist who ran out of materials for his dragon
Funnily enough, historical alchemy's goal was vaguely the opposite. The alchemist would start with what seemed to be the most chaotic, depressing and inherently bad materials that could be found (very much like the concept of an evil Western dragon) and through works in the lab, try to purify and reduce it to a powerful all curing all relieving essence, which was often referred to as the Philosophical Stone, though there were easily thousands of equivalent names.
In (nearly misleadingly) short, they wanted to turn dragons into rocks.
@@mathphysicsnerd well what if you look at dragon crystals as something like orichalcum
@@mathphysicsnerd like turning lead into platinum~
(Well, most wanted to stop at gold because money, but oh well~)
@@ExcalibeonSwordofEeveelutions You should check out some compendiums of alchemical tracts, something like the works of Paracelsus, the sayings of Hermes Trismegistus, the visions of Thosimus &c. Alchemy was for most of its' time as a practiced art much more spiritual than it was practical, though the work did yield some practical results as well. The whole "making fake gold" bit was actually only really prevalent right in the last couple of centuries before the entire field more or less vanished into history.

My theory: looking at the shape of regidrago, it looks like charizard's head. Regigigas found out about megaevolutions beeing removed from the game, so it decided to make a dragon-type Charizard all by itself.

Crystallized Dragon energy?
Isn’t Eternatus a _dragon_ who emits Dynamax _energy?_
and did anyone notice Eternatus’ design looks somewhat...crystalline? Not to mention raid dens are made of vaguely pink crystals, sharing a similar color palette with both Eternatus and Regidrago.
And don’t both have subtle allusions to being somewhat incomplete? (Eternatus being a skeleton, Regidrago being a head)
Anyone else see the resemblance?
they're even the same colour wtf
@@aceofjacks7071 imagine if Eternatus was actually the source of the Dragon element in the Pokémon universe, as a terrible dragon whose physical form was shattered and sown into the land, eventually becoming raid dens and crystals containing its Dragon Type energy. Over time certain Pokémon began to absorb and harness its energy, leading to the creation of the dragon type. The Eternatus that we know is really just a Skeleton of the original dragon, it’s Eternamax form being a fraction of the original Dragon’s power.
@@psychicjellyfish9466 yknow, that'd actually make a lot of sense. I don't know how the poison typing would come in exactly, but I have come up with the theory that during its containment, it collected a lot of waste from the energy it produced, and eventually gained a poison typing. some compare its energy to radiation, and I think the energy waste would give some explanation to its typing, because perhaps in too high doses, dynamax energy is too dangerous. also, it could be decaying, producing more harmful waste and giving it a skeleton like appearance

My theory:
Regigigas makes the other Regis based on the things he sees in the world out of curiosity for humans and imitation (basically like imitations of what he perceives as prominent in the world and/or to protect the humans). In the stone age he watched humans use primitive tools and created Regirock. In the ice age there was nothing but ice so he made Regice. In the Iron age he created Registeel once again imitating what he perceived being used in the world and in an attemp to protect humans even if they didn´t want that (some of them worshiped Regigigas but other feared the regis it created and sealed them away).
Then in the Galar region he saw Eternatus appear. Eternatus is basically the source of the dynamax and the gigantamax phenomena in Galar due to its power leaking out in the form of galar particles and Regigigas also probably saw it cause the first darkest day too. So he tried to create a dragon regi made of pure energy based on that as well (to imitate what he saw and/or to protect humans from Eternatus itself). However, Zacian and Zamazenta defeated Eternatus and its energy was scattered around the entire region while he was creating Regidrago so he no longer had a reason and/or the means to complete Regidrago (because Regidrago was based on Eternatus, so when he was defeated Regigigas no longer had something to see and imitate and with all the energy scattered around the entire region in a way smaller form, it was way harder to continue as well. Also since Eternatus was also no longer a threat to humans he had way less reasons to complete it too). It´s also possible that humans eventually noticed that Regigigas creates regis to imitate what he sees and decided to seal him away in Sinnoh.
It isn´t stated if Regieleki was created around the same time (just that Regidrago and regieleki were sealed away in Galar just like how the other 3 were sealed away in Hoenn and regigigas itself in Sinnoh) . But if it was, the fact that he saw the darkest day as a huge storm was maybe what inspired Regigigas to create a Regi based on electricity. But if not, Regieleki is still most likely created once again by imitation during the time Regigigas saw humans start using electricity.
Regigigas be like why you stopped eternatus i didnt finish my regi
Granted, they are both energy. Plus, Occam's Razor. Regi Prime was just molding out of whatever was most abundant.
I forget if they mentioned Regigigas was a crafted being too, but either way... my big dude's just trying to help out. A golem's gotta do what a golem's gotta do.
Nice Theory
Crap
Love the theory! Just wanna add: Eternatus' dex entry in sword says "The core on its chest absorbs energy emanating from the lands of the Galar region." So I'd say its probably less likely that Regigas stopped because Eternatus had been stopped and possibly more likely that Eternatus had absorbed the energy that Gigas was using, which would be why it ran out and had to stop
Fun fact: originally dragons had poison breath/blood. The depictions of them had trouble conveying they were breathing poison so they made it look like fire which led to them having fire breath
Eternatus anyone?

*Pokemon world: “The Darkest Day,” a “dark age” where black clouds covered the land, monsters and a gigantic, godlike dragon ran rampant.*
Hmmmm...
(Also I’m not the only one who thinks Regidrago is similar to Eternatus, right? They are both dragon types in Galar that are ancient... shoot giant beams of raw energy... can be violent and destructive... maybe Regigas used energy released by Eternatus and captured it in crystals or pieces of Eternatus’ original form, like wishing pieces or wishing stars, and used them to create Regidrago.)
EDIT: Thanks for the replies! Considering how much possible material there is and how deep the lore goes, Lockstin really should make a video on Eternatus. It would really help a lot of people understand it’s design and the lore behind it, and it would give people who already know like me more material to chew on and think about. Because it really does touch on so many parts of the Pokémon lore.
Yeah...
Regigigas used "crystallized Draconic energy" to build a strong Dragon, but ran out.
Eternatus looks like a skeletal dragon, made of crystalline-like objects.
Eternatus and Necrozma both share draconic and crystalline appearances, AND have draconic powers, etc.
@@gabriellockwood2780 it's very possible Regigigas created Regidrago as a counter for Eternatus but sadly couldn't complete him due to a lack of resources, and thus the poor Dragon type Regi went unused
Gabriel Lockwood not to mention that Dynamax energy or Galar particles, which are what Eternatus is powered by and emits constantly, are very similar to the “dragon energy” Regidrago was made from, and that it fires in its signature move.
I really like this theory.
I still want a video explanation abt the Darkest Day and find wat its based on. I was basically confused
"dragon is the most likely type to crystalize"
Ice types: am I a joke to you?
LOL
But already ice regi so it's 2nd most likely

As an artist drawing the head and giving up is fairly relatable
The ironic thing about it.
Is that the head looks like a Charizard head.
Which is not a dragon
At least there's Charizard X
Modern Charizard aren't dragons because this Charizard head sucked up all the dragon energy.
Registeel is ironic tho

Hey Toby can you ask Lockstin why the dragon type Regi represents the dark ages and not the dark type Regi
"And boy, am I glad he started with the head because... could you imagine?"
Right? I mean, at least with Regidrago being modeled after the head of a dragon, you know what the inspiration was and what it is supposed to be. But, if Regigigas had started from the crown and neck, or the tail, or the tip... I don't know about anyone else. But, I think the tip would make for a Bad Dragon.
Other than the head the only thing that could have worked would probably be the wings

I remember in Arceus and the Jewel of Life, when Arceus used some of its Plates to make the Jewel of Life, it said that the Draco Plate was added to enhance the powers of the other types in the Jewel of Life. Given that, I really think you're on the right track about Dragon-type energy being the rawest and most potent form of arcane Infinity Energy.
Since you mentioned Regileki and the Electric-type in end, I think it may also be important to note that the the Zap Plate was used to energize and synchronize the union of the Earth, Splash and Meadow Plates in the movie.
Well let's dont forget that the dragon typing is a rare typing, hence why most of your pseudo-legendaries are dragon (with exceptions of the lesser dragon types like Kingdra, Drampa, Turtinator, Dragalge, and such) with legendaries (gen 4-8) having the most dragon energy due to their abilities to affect reality itself like Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina
I was so wrong when I said he was Regidark, I love him and Regieleki so much though
Regidark would likely be far more Eldritch Horror looking, since it would probably be the one to represent an age before knowledge, an age before Humanity could understand and comprehend things, maybe even an age before Humanity itself
RegiEleki could DEFINITELY use a name update though. what about regiBolt or RegiOhm
Tbh I still think regidark would have been better and still could kept the draconian motif
Plus the literal dark crystal concept is just cooler than 'oops read the recipe wrong'
@@v1v10rnitier regishock?
@@astridstarr2787 I don't think a crystal Motif would work for a dark type. Ignoring how the only thing that could be done for its design to set it apart from Rock and Ice with to make it just a cluster of crystals, which would be very difficult to make look good, the process by which crystals are made is understandable, which is the opposite of Dark as a type. Remember Dark is immune to Psychic, the type that represents knowledge and the mind, to have Regidark be made by a process humans can understand is to have its design be counterintuitive to the design of the Dark type
Adding on to your dragons=mana theory, SPOILERS
If you use Nature Power, an attack that changes into a different attack based on the environment, in the Deoxys battle at the end of the Gen3 remake; it changes into Draco Meteor because it is the only battle in the franchise that takes place in outer space. This is the only instance of Nature Power ever changing to Dragon Type, and implies that the universe itself is defined as Dragon Type. It could just be a reference to meteors, but there are other attacks that throw rocks at you (including Power Gem, a move already used in Nature Power,) and they weren't chosen
Dragons are energy beings basically

Idk Regieleki sounds way too awkward to say. Maybe it will grow on me soon...
Regigigas: The original, presumably made by arceus to look like a legendary pokemon.
Regirock: A walking hunk of rock with arms and legs, really no different than Geodude and more so Graveller when you think about it.
Registeel: A walking lump of steel and/or iron or other metal with arms and legs, where did Regigigas get it and how did he make it so smooth?

Regilectric: A LIGHTBULB, but the light bulb is MADE of ELECTRICITY.
Regidrako: IT'S LITERALLY JUST A SHINY CHARIZARD SKULL WITH A SHADOWBALL IN THE CENTER.
According to Regice's pokedex entry,

@@NotebookTheCat if you're using irons yes,
Otherwise you can't start away and barely get any momentum.
Your super quick and simple explanation of the two new regis being the physical and nonphysical of what is left of the Tao trio is the best part.
Considering Infinity Energy and Pokemon Moves run on the same energy, this makes Pokemon Moves spells, basically, that Pokemon evolved in the Darwinian sense to use.
The Card game shows literal "Infiinity energy". You can use the energy infinitely, but if you never had enough in the first place, you can't do the thing.
I.E
2 energy and you can't use flamethrower. 3 energy and you can use flamethrower as many times as you want forever.
Regidrago could be the dark ages
But I’ve always seen it as the Jurassic Age
Dragons and dinosaurs aren’t that different that’s why tyrantrum is dragon type
Nah, dinosaurs and dragons are extremely diferent creatures. Dinosaurs are just big birds adapted to niches occupied by mammals today while dragons are cat-snake hybrids who fly and breath fire or, in asian dragons, mammal-like snake gods, for the most part, there are others who are more just monstrous snakes (or even just imaginary snakes).
@@Ditidos you have no idea how many different kinds of dragons there are, do you?
You got dinos wrong. Birds are d0inos not dinos being birds
They’re both lizards/reptilian so I think that’s why
@@ejrelatorre4254 I know, but birds are the closest thing there is. A rex is just a very large terrestrial predatory bird without a beak, just like a Triceratops is a buffalo/bull/cattle-like bird covered in very bizarre scales.
Considering the dragon type's interaction with the other types, it backs up dragon being essentially the raw unfiltered elemental energy of the universe. Being resisted by steel, a manmade element, the impurities folded out of the earth in the process of creation reject the world around it, acting as insulation to the energy that permeates it.
It may also be wise to consider what the fundamental behaviors and properties of this energy is. It may be endowed with an enormous charge of a particular sign, causing it to be naturally repulsive to itself. Gathering it together in one place to crystalize it would take an incredible amount of time and energy of it was constantly trying to fly apart, which point as to why:
A: Dragon is weak to itself as a result of this hyperactive particle motion.
B: Dragons and those endowed with a certain dragonlike ability (Gyarados, Lucario, Tyranitar, etc) are prone to rampage when they end up in a state where they cannot control said energy.
If this is true, then the Original Dragon from where the tao trio came from was inherently unstable and potentially catastrophically violent. But it's existence predated the type appearing in others as a kind of Pandora's box. A sufficiently destabilizing event would have broken and scattered that energy across the world alongside it's form.
Regigigas, being a servant of the land alongside Zygarde, who gained dragon typing as a being directly connected to the ecosystem, sensed a misbalance in the natural order. He sets across the land gathering as much of the stray dragon energy with the goal of condensing it back into the Original dragon, but had a Slow Start and could only find enough to form the head before the rest seeped fully into the ecosystem for good.
So essentially, Regidrago is incomplete out of little choice. He is a ball of nuclear space fallout to save the land by existing. Although taking into account Eternatus and the tao trio, we may yet see a full team of pokemon fuse back into the Original Dragon. Perhaps in gen 9.

"The one with Knights and Horses... neither of which exist anymore, so there's a fun fact for you." Says the man who lives in Oregon where people regularly ride their horses around town. (Yes, even in the larger cities from time to time.)
I don’t know, have you checked there’s still horses? Maybe he knows something we don’t.
@@rueblie2627 Hmm... Now that you mention it, it has been several months since I've seen a horse. 🤔
This makes me wonder if Regidrago could potentially have a complete form in a future game much like Zygarde did in Gen 7.
Zygarde is in gen 6. I don't know if they'll ever repeat that. Having to collect a bunch of parts can be quite boring.
@@r4nd0mguy99 Or necrozma in gen 7
@@r4nd0mguy99 I know that Zygarde is Gen 6 but his complete form didn't show up until Gen 7
"Maybe what Gamefreak came up with is even more interesting."
And then everyone laughed.
*If Regidrago isn’t completed as a gigantimax form I’m going to feel cheated.*
Easy: GameFreak wanted another Charizard
No, see
this is a Dragon type
Yet none have the venasaur flower or a blastoise shell…
Regizard!
With this and the Galarian forms of the legendary bird trio, they might as well hit us with Mewthree already.

Now the expansion is out, based on the Sword design entry, I've got an outlandish theory that Regidrago was made from the skull of the original dragon, its actually a 4-way fusion to complete rather than just the B&W trio
A fun connection too, is the Life Orb. The Life Orb is a magenta crystal sphere that’s very similar to Regidrago. Why it’s easy enough to lean Regidrago and Life Orb to magenta and purple energy, Life Orb is a fairly common item on Dragon Pokémon, Dragons are arcanely powerful and the Life Orb boosts you Pokémon’s power greatly at the cost of its own HP. And what is Regidrago’s highest stat? HP! It has the stamina to pay such a tithe. Or, perhaps Life Orbs are Regidrago’s missing pieces, the components it needs to be complete… like so many Zygarde cells, yet another Dragon needing repair.

I'M SCREAMING 😂
take my money
Stop
Maybe regigas just found some dragon energy crystal stuff and thought "hey, that's neat" and made stuff out of it, but when he ran out he got bored and left
Your theories are mostly more interesting lore than the official lore, most media franchises end up being a lot worse than the fan theories, sad.
4:40 "dragon breath" is not fire-y at all....
It's supposed to be the dragon releasing its foul breath,which's why it has a 30% to paralyze the opponent, because it's so stinky.
somebody is intelligent but Ash charizard can learn it in gen 3 for some reason when he can’t learn it in the video games until sword & shield

No, it's a rock.

It's literally the purest form of a dragon.
Nice tao trio theory. Makes sense. Not the part that includes regieleki at the end, but I could see it being canon, but the last time the tao trio was mentioned outside of Unova in the games was in X and Y, the statue of reshiram
All the regi’s: exist
Regidraco: ITS SPHERICAL!!!
My great grandfather was named Reggie Drago. Should I be scared?
He's secretly a pokemon
Eh
You have a choice. Catch him or flee.
you're joking, right?
If your grandfather was secretly a Pokemon, then you should be part Pokemon. Specifically, a dragon Pokemon. See if there's a magic special effect thing when you scratch stuff. Or some other dragon attack. Just don't try to summon meteors.
9:39 yeah that would be quite a *bad* part of the *dragon*
I-
"the Dark Ages is merely a spooky term for the medieval times. You know, the one with knights and horses, neither of which exist anymore."
There are 2 things linking regidrago and regieleki together. their attacks are the most powerful of their types, and they were both sealed (constrained in regieleki’s case)
He's sooooo spherical I love him.
AND HIS LITTLE FEEETS! I LOVE HIM
All Regis are great to me
"What do you think?"
I think they should have called it Regilectric, but that's not really what your question was
Personally I would've gone with Regivolt
Regilectric just rolls of the tounge so nicely
Regiamp or Regivolt
Regirock: dad you should have gone for the head
Regigigas: but I did!
Note to self: This is in the TRPG playlist on purpose. Start at 4:50 (specifically, at 7:00 to skip the fluff if I'm in a rush) for that information. And also because of an idea of having a campaign that takes place before pokeballs or when apricorns were JUST starting to be made into pokeballs.
Is there a way to look at your own comment history?
Also a pokemon tabletop game sounds fun, interesting concept too
@@TatsubeiYagyu Not to my knowledge, no.
Interestingly enough, some fan artists have a concept that dragon-type trainers take on draconic features from their prolonged exposure to dragon Pokémon, that being slited pupils and sharp teeth, the features becoming more pronounced if the family has a tradition of training dragon types
Lance?
Ooo
Raihan😂
@@invalidusername3399 Raihan has other Pokemon though
@@ChangedMyNameFinally69 yea but his whole thing is that he has scary Pokémon that can set up weather
I keep earing you say that Regielec is "electricity" thus symbolicing the "electricity age", when so many times before you said electric type was "light type" witch could go so much better as the "enlightment", the renaissance, the "age of light" a perfect counterpart for the "dark age" or "age of dragons"
Regidrago and Regieleki are my favorite Regis, they are like The Crippled Twin and the Hyperactive Twin.
I actually quite like that original dragon theory you had there at the end

Let the man speak
Excellent timing for the video! Pokémon announced a new video for the Crown Tundra dlc tomorrow!
Heres a thought.
Regigigas Built Regidrago from Crystalized Dragon Energy.
But the question is why does Regidrago only appear in Galar?
Simple.
This Dragon energy Regigigas used...is Erternatus's Dynamax energy.
Its the same Color, and Eternatus is a dragon type.
Its possible Regigigas arrived sometime after Eternatus's attack on Ancient Galar and upon feeling all the strong Dragon energy he decided to collect a bunch of it to make a Regi.
Maybe Regigigas actually helped heal Galar by removing a whole bunch of Extra Eternatus energy.
But when the humans found out it was doing this to build a New Being, they grew worried that this new being could be as dangerous as Eternatus was so they had it sealed away.
Also how you mentioned Regidrago represents the Dark Ages makes sense aswell since Eternatus' attack on Galar WAS there Dark ages.
And i can't forget to bring up Dynamax candy and Max mushrooms which are crystalized and are the same color as Regidrago
Regidrago: my body is ready
If I had one
2:54 I never realized it but I haven't seen horses recently...

summary of this video: regigigas is bad at estimations and mistook 10 legos for 1000 legos
Full Regidraco:
An orb-ish skeleton structure with the black dragon accessories. basically pure magical dragon.
