How to Get Regirock in FireRed & LeafGreen
Regirock isn't in FRLG encounter data. Desert Ruins on Route 111 in Hoenn is the only Gen 3 home, with a puzzle requiring Strength and a Relicanth-Wailord party unlock. Trade from Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald.
Regirock cannot be caught in the wild in FireRed & LeafGreen, but you can still get it via these paths:
Pokemon HOME · Switch Rerelease
Playing the Switch version of FireRed & LeafGreen? Pokemon HOME compatibility is post-launch but deposit-only by design (FRLG → HOME). Inbound HOME transfer of Regirock into FRLG is not possible — an original GBA cartridge with a Link Cable is the only inbound route.
Obtain and trade from these games:
Then trade to FireRed & LeafGreen.
Also Obtainable In:
Direct cartridge trade across generations isn't possible — but the Pokemon HOME path above bridges this gap once Switch support launches.
Regirock Weakness
Water, Grass, Fighting, Ground, and Steel moves hit Regirock for super-effective damage. The Rock typing picks up 4 resistances to work with. Regirock's physical bulk (base 200 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.
