We're still in shock at all of the new Pokémon Sword and Shield that the most recent Nintendo Direct has shared. While the trailers featured on the live gave us a lot of news, there were several things teased in the footage that we didn't get a lot of information about. In a very brief moment in one of the trailers, fans were able to get a glimpse of what appear to be two new Regi Pokémon.
As a quick reminder for those unfamiliar, Regis was a trio of Legendary Pokémon introduced in Ruby and Sapphire Pokémon. These are Grolem-type Pokémon that lurk in deep, intricate caves that players must pass through. Each Regi has a set of dots on the face. They each consist of an elementary; there is a Regice, Regirock and Registeel. Regigigas, the giant titan Pokémon that looks like a Regi, is their master.
Based on what we saw in the latest Pokémon trailer, the Regi Trio might end up becoming a quintet in the upcoming Sword and Shield DLC. Two new Pokémon were featured in the trailer, and both look like new Regis. While we didn't see them too much in the trailer, we're going to see what we know about these new Regis.
Everything we know about Pokémon's two new Regis Sword and Shield
The main reason fans believe the two new Pokémon are Regis is because they have a similar body structure to the other Regis. They have a big torso with small arms and legs sticking out. They also appear to be made up of two elementals. One of them looks like pure electricity, while the other looks like a big red ball with a dragon's head protruding from its sides. Dragon arms make it look like Regi will use dragon powers and be a dragon-type Pokémon.
However, the biggest giveaway for them being Regis is the fact that they have a series of dots on their face that resemble dots found in other Regis. Images of these two Regis also appeared after the trailer showed the original three Regis and their temples.
Speaking of temples, in the trailer it looks like each of the Regis will have their own temple for players to walk through in DLC's second expansion, The Crown Tundra. The color of the temple and the dot formation on the top matches that of one of the three Regis. The trailer showed four temples, three of which matched Regis' original trio.
But there was a fourth that showed up; this fourth temple is divided into two colors, one side is yellow and the other is red. The yellow side has the new electric-looking Regi dot formation on top, and the red side has the new dragon-looking Regi dot formation. Presumably, each temple will house a respective Regi, and the two new Regis will be in the fourth.
It is possible that they end up being exclusive versions, which may explain why there is only one temple for the two. It is also possible for players to choose which side of the temple to explore. This is only speculative on our part, there is not much official information on these two new Regis.
