Catching the Three Regis in Pokemon Diamond

The three Regi Pokemon, Regice, Regirock and Registeel, are the Hoenn Region's legendary Pokemon. This set of legendaries is not a standard part of Pokemon's Generation IV series titles, and they must be imported from games of the third generation in order to be caught. Distributing the various Pokemon throughout several titles is a technique the developers have used since the beginning of the series in order to connect the games into a larger world, encourage players to interact and trade with each other and, of course, sell more copies of each game.

- 4
  Travel to Sandgem town and talk to Professor Rowan. After the scene, Professor Oak will give you the National Dex and tell you about the Pal Park. Save your progress and quit the game.

  Select six Pokemon to transfer to the "Diamond" game. The trade will not work with only three Pokemon, so the other three can be any Pokemon of your choice.

  Return to the "Diamond" version and travel to the Pal Park. There, you will receive Park Balls, which have a 100 percent catch rate.
- 9
  Enter the park and travel to the mountainous area. There, you will find the three Regis in random encounters. Use the Park Balls to capture them, as it is impossible to miss or to run from the battle.
