It has round purple-striped plates on its shoulder area, where two pink pearl-like crystals lie encrusted with a gray rim encircling them, and fin-like wings on its back. Palkia's arms have extended formations resembling gauntlets and a purple band around each wrist. Palkia has a long neck that is normally bent, a pointed white crest on the top of its head that extends to its wings, two strong horn-like tusks on the sides of its jaw, and a powerful tail. It has faint cracks along its legs and tail. | ||
[[File:Universal destruction BDSP.png|thumb|left|240px|The process of destroying the {{pkmn|universe}}]] | |||
Palkia has the power over space: it can warp space, travel to faraway places, alternate [[dimension]]s and parallel [[Pokémon multiverse|timelines]] altogether. Additionally it is capable of {{m|Spacial Rend|tearing its targets along with the space around it}}. It even has the power to destroy and create an entire [[Pokémon universe|universe]] by itself or with {{p|Dialga}}'s aid. As seen in the {{pkmn|anime}}, Palkia's spacial powers possess the ability to connect alternate universes through dimensional portals. It can undo these effects as well. Palkia controls It is said that the birth of Palkia was what caused the walls of our world to disappear, creating a sky that spans for infinity. It is said that space becomes more stable with its every breath. Palkia usually travels by levitating. Since Palkia primarily resides in a different dimension, its behavior is nearly impossible to study. The dimension Palkia lives in is said to be in shreds like ribbons.<ref>[https://legends.arceus.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/palkia/ Palkia (Origin Forme) | Pokémon Legends: Arceus Official Website]</ref> Palkia is known to be very protective of its home. Palkia has been seen in violent conflicts with its counterpart Dialga. As seen in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], Palkia is capable of travelling by creating a large yellow sphere from its two pearls, then using it to fly very fast. | |||
According to [[Sinnoh myths|myths and legends]] from the [[Hisui]]/[[Sinnoh]] [[region]], in the beggining of time, the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Arceus}} created the Pokémon of space Palkia, the Pokémon of time {{p|Dialga}}, and the Pokémon of antimatter {{p|Giratina}}, all three in their [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina|Origin Formes]]. After the [[Pokémon universe]] is created, Palkia retreated into its [[Dimension#Palkia's world|own dimension]], where it lived in since then. It was revered and feared as a deity the past, being worshipped by the [[Pearl Clan]], who referred to it as "'''almighty Sinnoh'''". Palkia is capable of [[Talking Pokémon|speaking human language]] via telepathy, as seen when it communicates through the leader of the Pearl Clan, [[Irida]]. Palkia and Dialga can control and spread the [[space-time distortion]]s caused by {{p|Giratina}}, which create [[alpha Pokémon]] and cause [[Noble Pokémon]] to become frenzied through a lightning bolts that come out of the distortions. | |||
Palkia is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Spacial Rend}}. | |||

[[File:Palkia Origin Forme mouth open.png|thumb|right|240px|Origin Palkia's plate mask opened]] | |||
Palkia can change between its standard form and its Origin Forme. | |||
In ' | In its Origin Forme, which is said to be its true form, Palkia's appearance changes drastically from its other theropod-like Forme, taking on a centaur-dragon hybrid look while resembling its creator, {{p|Arceus}}. The main body becomes larger and grayish pink, with light gray accents on the tips of its wings and legs, along with various dark purple accents. Its shoulder plates are larger and seem to be made of the same pearl-like crystals as the ones embedded at the center, with six rectangular dark purple protrusions surrounding them. Its lower half becomes bigger and resembles that of a horse. Palkia's arms become its forelegs, with hooves, protrusions on the knees, and rectangular spikes on its upper forelegs akin to its other Forme's arms. The back legs gain hooves as well, with heels on the back of the foot, and they are bent in such a way that allows Palkia to stand up on its two back legs. The tail becomes shorter and splits into five. On the center of Palkia's abdomen is a structure consisting of two dark purple circular shapes connected to two circles of the same color, resembling Arceus's cross-like wheel. Palkia's neck and markings on its lower body become shorter. The pointed crest on its neck becomes taller and longer. Its lower jaw gets a plate-like mask covering it, with multiple spikes all over it: one at the front, a pair extending towards the bottom of the jaw, and two pairs on either side extending towards the back. The plate-like mask can be lowered to reveal its mouth when roaring or using attacks. | ||
Palkia is at its full power when in its Origin Forme, and is supposedly permanently in this state while in its home dimension. It is believed that Palkia's Origin Forme resembles Arceus as a strategy in order to gain its power. Palkia's transformation into its Origin Forme can be triggered using the [[Lustrous Globe]] or through a radiant light. Origin Forme Palkia can walk on all fours and fly, and is capable of unleashing meteors and shockwaves. Its {{m|Spacial Rend}} can even be charged into a more powerful version of itself while in Origin Forme, as seen in its boss battle in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. The crystals and purple accents on Palkia's body glow brightly when it uses its powers. | |||

===Evolution=== | ===Form data=== | ||
{{Evobox-1 | Along with the other members of the [[Pokémon of Myth]], Palkia has the ability to switch to a second form: Origin Forme. | ||
The standard form of Palkia debuted in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, and its Origin Forme was introduced in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, in which it changes between its standard form and Origin Forme when exposed to a [[Lustrous Globe]]. In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Palkia transforms into its Origin Forme while holding a Lustrous Globe. If it is deposited in {{g|HOME}}, it will revert to its standard form. | |||

The forms differ in their [[base stats]]: Palkia's Origin Forme has decreased {{stat|Attack}} and increased {{stat|Speed}} compared to its standard form, though its base stat total is the same. In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, its [[signature move]], {{m|Spacial Rend}}, has modified base power and accuracy when used by its Origin Form, as well as a unique animation. | |||

===Main series=== | |||
[[File:Palkia anime.png|thumb|250px|Palkia in the {{pkmn|anime}}]] | |||
====Major appearances==== | |||
=====[[Palkia (movie)]]===== | |||
Palkia made its physical debut in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', where it fought with {{mov|Dialga}} and {{OBP|Darkrai|M10}} in a {{pkmn|battle}} that nearly destroyed [[Alamos Town]]. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', Palkia was shown for the first time with both the other members of [[Pokémon of Myth|its trio]]. It joined forces with Dialga and {{mov|Giratina}} to fight against {{OBP|Arceus|M12}}. | |||
=====Palkia (recurring)===== | |||
A Palkia appeared in ''[[JN089|The Gates of Warp!]]'' and ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]'', where it was a target of [[Alternate World Team Rocket]], along with {{OBP|Dialga|recurring}}. Using a [[Red Chain]], Alternate World Team Rocket forced the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] to fight, creating time distortions that caused Pokémon to start [[Devolution|devolving]] and eventually revert into {{pkmn|Egg}}s, which Team Rocket would then steal and raise to be their own. The battle was finally stopped when {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}}, [[Goh]], [[Chloe]], and their alternate world counterparts prayed for {{p|Arceus}} to do so. Freed from the Red Chain, Dialga and Palkia then undid all the devolutions their battle had caused. | |||
=====Other===== | |||
In ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', Palkia and Dialga were summoned by [[Cyrus]] on the [[Spear Pillar]]. They were put under his control through the use of the Red Chain and were tasked by him to open a portal to another dimension, wanting a world of his own. After the Red Chain's destruction and Cyrus's exit, Palkia and Dialga rampaged, creating a danger for [[Sinnoh]]. However, the two were calmed down and sent away with the help of the {{an|lake guardians}}. | |||
In ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', Palkia was one of six Legendary Pokémon summoned and hypnotized by the shadow {{form|Hoopa|Hoopa Unbound}} as its reinforcements. It and its teammates engaged in a battle against the {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{Shiny}} {{p|Rayquaza}} summoned to protect the real {{an|Hoopa}} in [[Dahara City]]. Eventually, after the shadow Hoopa was sealed in a [[Prison Bottle]], the hypnosis on Palkia and the other Legendary Pokémon was lifted, and Palkia departed for its home. | |||

In the {{ma|Arceus and the Jewel of Life}} manga adaptation, Palkia, along with the members of its trio, were summoned by [[Sheena]] to help Ash and his friends. Palkia and the other members of its trio soon engaged {{OBP|Arceus|M12}} in a battle. | |||

===Pokémon Adventures=== | |||
{{main|Pokémon of Myth (Adventures)}} | |||
===={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}==== | |||
Palkia first appeared in ''[[PS410|Creeping Away from Cradily]]''. Palkia, along with Dialga, was summoned by [[Cyrus]] in order to create a new world. Cyrus used the Red Chains to force Dialga and Palkia to fight each other in order to distort time and space and create a portal that would swallow the existing world. {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}} and {{adv|Platinum}} worked together with their Pokémon to free Dialga and Palkia from their controlled states. | |||
Later on, an accident with handling [[Charon]]'s machine caused Dialga, Palkia and Cyrus to be dragged into the portal before it closed completely. | |||
===={{MangaArc|Platinum}}==== | |||
It was revealed that {{p|Giratina}} imprisoned both Dialga and Palkia in the [[Distortion World]] before setting off into the current dimension to wreak havoc. Soon, Cyrus and Diamond met in the Distortion World, and agreed to free Dialga and Palkia using their Pokémon. Dialga and Palkia later resumed their struggle against Giratina in the Distortion World. When Charon decided to escape from the Distortion World on Giratina, Pearl got on Palkia and chased after him. Giratina was eventually defeated, with Dialga and Palkia forcing it back into the Distortion World for good before both returned to the Spear Pillar. | |||
===={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}==== | |||
Palkia was created in the [[Sinjoh Ruins]], along with Dialga and Giratina, by {{p|Arceus}}'s creation process, which was forced by [[Team Rocket]]'s {{tc|Executive}}s. Knowing that the creation process would threaten the [[Johto]] region, Team Rocket's true leader {{adv|Giovanni}} returned with [[Lance]] and [[Pryce]] to keep the Pokémon of Myth at bay while {{adv|Gold}} tried to calm Arceus down. Palkia was kept at bay by Lance and his {{p|Dragonite}}. Once Arceus was eventually becalmed, Dialga and Palkia departed from Johto and were spotted by [[Cynthia]]. | |||
===Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!=== | |||
Palkia appeared in ''[[DPA20|The Advent of the Legendary Pokémon!!]]'' as a silhouette. It officially debuted in ''[[DPA21|Will Hareta's Wish Get Through?!]]''. | |||

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]=== | |||
[[File:SSBBSpearPillarPalkia.png|thumb|200px|Palkia on the {{St|Spear Pillar}} stage in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]] | |||
Palkia occasionally appears on the {{St|Spear Pillar}} stage as one of three Pokémon that controls it. It only appears on the stage when the ground on the upper level has a purple tinge to it. Unlike {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Cresselia}}, however, it will use its powers to distort the stage in multiple ways. Some examples include tilting the stage, turning the stage completely upside down, and reversing the screen itself (the last two will cause the movement controls to be reversed temporarily). It often shoots beams in the cave below, dealing a lot of damage to the players that get caught in the blast. | |||
====Trophy information==== | |||
''"A Spatial Pokémon. In the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]], this {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} has been revered for many generations, much like Dialga. Dialga warps time, but Palkia has control over space. It lives between parallel dimensions and is known for its power, rumored to be able to warp space. It can use {{m|Spacial Rend}} to rip through the very space an enemy resides in, damaging the foe at the same time. It is Pearl's [[Game mascot|mascot]]."'' | |||

'''PAL''': ''Stories of this Legendary Pokémon say that Palkia is a god that controls all of space. When it uses its Spacial Rend attack in Super Smash Bros., it causes the screen to flip upside down. If that wasn't confusing enough, it also flips the left and right controls!'' | |||

Palkia returns as a Pokémon summoned from a Poké Ball, using Spacial Rend like its appearance in ''For Nintendo 3DS/Wii U'' while also appearing as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}. Palkia cannot be summoned on 3D Land, Arena Ferox, Balloon Fight, Brinstar, Dream Land GB, Golden Plains, Green Hill Zone, Jungle Japes, Mushroomy Kingdom, Mute City SNES, Paper Mario, PictoChat 2, {{St|Prism Tower}}, Reset Bomb Forest, {{St|Spear Pillar}} (for obvious reasons), Suzaku Castle, Tomodachi Life, Tortimer Island, WarioWare Inc., or Yoshi's Island. Palkia's Spacial Rend will not be able to flip the stage upside down if a fighter is equipped with a spirit with Screen-Flip Immunity, though it will still remain on stage to damage any opponents who touch it. Palkia also reprises its role as a stage hazard on the returning {{St|Spear Pillar}} stage. Spear Pillar now allows for any of the three [[Legendary Pokémon]] to appear each time, rather than being set for the whole match. | |||

Palkia (Japanese: パルキア Palkia) is a dual-type Water/Dragon Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.
While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, Palkia transforms into a second form, called its Origin Forme, while holding a Lustrous Globe.
(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to Game data→Form data for these details.)
Palkia is the game mascot of Pokémon Pearl and its remake Pokémon Shining Pearl, appearing on the box art of both games in its normal form.
Along with Dialga and Giratina, it is one of the Pokémon of Myth, representing space. In the past, it was worshipped by the Pearl Clan under the name "almighty Sinnoh" (Japanese: シンオウさま Shin'ou-sama).
Biology
Palkia is a light-purple, theropod-like Pokémon with stripes and markings of a darker shade and gray underarms and waist. It has round purple-striped plates on its shoulder area, where two pink pearl-like crystals lie encrusted with a gray rim encircling them, and fin-like wings on its back. Palkia's arms have extended formations resembling gauntlets and a purple band around each wrist. Palkia has a long neck that is normally bent, a pointed white crest on the top of its head that extends to its wings, two strong horn-like tusks on the sides of its jaw, and a powerful tail. It has faint cracks along its legs and tail.
Palkia has the power over space: it can warp space, travel to faraway places, alternate dimensions and parallel timelines altogether. Additionally it is capable of tearing its targets along with the space around it. It even has the power to destroy and create an entire universe by itself or with Dialga's aid. As seen in the anime, Palkia's spacial powers possess the ability to connect alternate universes through dimensional portals. It can undo these effects as well. Palkia controls It is said that the birth of Palkia was what caused the walls of our world to disappear, creating a sky that spans for infinity. It is said that space becomes more stable with its every breath. Palkia usually travels by levitating. Since Palkia primarily resides in a different dimension, its behavior is nearly impossible to study. The dimension Palkia lives in is said to be in shreds like ribbons.[1] Palkia is known to be very protective of its home. Palkia has been seen in violent conflicts with its counterpart Dialga. As seen in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, Palkia is capable of travelling by creating a large yellow sphere from its two pearls, then using it to fly very fast.
According to myths and legends from the Hisui/Sinnoh region, in the beggining of time, the Mythical Pokémon Arceus created the Pokémon of space Palkia, the Pokémon of time Dialga, and the Pokémon of antimatter Giratina, all three in their Origin Formes. After the Pokémon universe is created, Palkia retreated into its own dimension, where it lived in since then. It was revered and feared as a deity the past, being worshipped by the Pearl Clan, who referred to it as "almighty Sinnoh". Palkia is capable of speaking human language via telepathy, as seen when it communicates through the leader of the Pearl Clan, Irida. Palkia and Dialga can control and spread the space-time distortions caused by Giratina, which create alpha Pokémon and cause Noble Pokémon to become frenzied through a lightning bolts that come out of the distortions.
Palkia is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Spacial Rend.
Forms
Palkia can change between its standard form and its Origin Forme.
In its Origin Forme, which is said to be its true form, Palkia's appearance changes drastically from its other theropod-like Forme, taking on a centaur-dragon hybrid look while resembling its creator, Arceus. The main body becomes larger and grayish pink, with light gray accents on the tips of its wings and legs, along with various dark purple accents. Its shoulder plates are larger and seem to be made of the same pearl-like crystals as the ones embedded at the center, with six rectangular dark purple protrusions surrounding them. Its lower half becomes bigger and resembles that of a horse. Palkia's arms become its forelegs, with hooves, protrusions on the knees, and rectangular spikes on its upper forelegs akin to its other Forme's arms. The back legs gain hooves as well, with heels on the back of the foot, and they are bent in such a way that allows Palkia to stand up on its two back legs. The tail becomes shorter and splits into five. On the center of Palkia's abdomen is a structure consisting of two dark purple circular shapes connected to two circles of the same color, resembling Arceus's cross-like wheel. Palkia's neck and markings on its lower body become shorter. The pointed crest on its neck becomes taller and longer. Its lower jaw gets a plate-like mask covering it, with multiple spikes all over it: one at the front, a pair extending towards the bottom of the jaw, and two pairs on either side extending towards the back. The plate-like mask can be lowered to reveal its mouth when roaring or using attacks.
Palkia is at its full power when in its Origin Forme, and is supposedly permanently in this state while in its home dimension. It is believed that Palkia's Origin Forme resembles Arceus as a strategy in order to gain its power. Palkia's transformation into its Origin Forme can be triggered using the Lustrous Globe or through a radiant light. Origin Forme Palkia can walk on all fours and fly, and is capable of unleashing meteors and shockwaves. Its Spacial Rend can even be charged into a more powerful version of itself while in Origin Forme, as seen in its boss battle in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. The crystals and purple accents on Palkia's body glow brightly when it uses its powers.
Game data
NPC appearances
- Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness: Palkia plays a major part in the game's post-story. Palkia first appears when he attacks the player and their partner at Sharpedo Bluff, having learnt from Darkrai (disguised as Cresselia) that they were responsible for space being distorted, but the real Cresselia appeared and sorted things out.
- Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia: Palkia appears as a bonus boss during one of the Ranger Net extra missions. Palkia was injured and entered Hippowdon Temple. In its pain, it warped the space of the Almia region and caused all of the locations of Almia to be shuffled together.
- Pokémon Legends: Arceus: Palkia is a main antagonist and boss in the game. It is one of Arceus's creations alongside Dialga and Giratina. After Volo and Giratina tore open a rift in space-time above Mount Coronet, Palkia along with Dialga, became enraged, causing many Alpha Pokémon and Space-time distortions to appear all over Hisui.

Form data
Along with the other members of the Pokémon of Myth, Palkia has the ability to switch to a second form: Origin Forme.
The standard form of Palkia debuted in Diamond and Pearl, and its Origin Forme was introduced in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, in which it changes between its standard form and Origin Forme when exposed to a Lustrous Globe. In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Palkia transforms into its Origin Forme while holding a Lustrous Globe. If it is deposited in Pokémon HOME, it will revert to its standard form.
The forms differ in their base stats: Palkia's Origin Forme has decreased Attack and increased Speed compared to its standard form, though its base stat total is the same. In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, its signature move, Spacial Rend, has modified base power and accuracy when used by its Origin Form, as well as a unique animation.

Palkia (recurring)
A Palkia appeared in The Gates of Warp! and Showdown at the Gates of Warp!, where it was a target of Alternate World Team Rocket, along with Dialga. Using a Red Chain, Alternate World Team Rocket forced the two Legendary Pokémon to fight, creating time distortions that caused Pokémon to start devolving and eventually revert into Eggs, which Team Rocket would then steal and raise to be their own. The battle was finally stopped when Ash, Dawn, Goh, Chloe, and their alternate world counterparts prayed for Arceus to do so. Freed from the Red Chain, Dialga and Palkia then undid all the devolutions their battle had caused.
Other
In The Battle Finale of Legend!, Palkia and Dialga were summoned by Cyrus on the Spear Pillar. They were put under his control through the use of the Red Chain and were tasked by him to open a portal to another dimension, wanting a world of his own. After the Red Chain's destruction and Cyrus's exit, Palkia and Dialga rampaged, creating a danger for Sinnoh. However, the two were calmed down and sent away with the help of the lake guardians.
In Hoopa and the Clash of Ages, Palkia was one of six Legendary Pokémon summoned and hypnotized by the shadow Hoopa Unbound as its reinforcements. It and its teammates engaged in a battle against the Latios, Latias, and Shiny Rayquaza summoned to protect the real Hoopa in Dahara City. Eventually, after the shadow Hoopa was sealed in a Prison Bottle, the hypnosis on Palkia and the other Legendary Pokémon was lifted, and Palkia departed for its home.

Soon, Cyrus and Diamond met in the Distortion World, and agreed to free Dialga and Palkia using their Pokémon. Dialga and Palkia later resumed their struggle against Giratina in the Distortion World. When Charon decided to escape from the Distortion World on Giratina, Pearl got on Palkia and chased after him. Giratina was eventually defeated, with Dialga and Palkia forcing it back into the Distortion World for good before both returned to the Spear Pillar.
HeartGold & SoulSilver arc
Palkia was created in the Sinjoh Ruins, along with Dialga and Giratina, by Arceus's creation process, which was forced by Team Rocket's Executives. Knowing that the creation process would threaten the Johto region, Team Rocket's true leader Giovanni returned with Lance and Pryce to keep the Pokémon of Myth at bay while Gold tried to calm Arceus down. Palkia was kept at bay by Lance and his Dragonite. Once Arceus was eventually becalmed, Dialga and Palkia departed from Johto and were spotted by Cynthia.
Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!
Palkia appeared in The Advent of the Legendary Pokémon!! as a silhouette. It officially debuted in Will Hareta's Wish Get Through?!.

Other appearances
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Palkia occasionally appears on the Spear Pillar stage as one of three Pokémon that controls it. It only appears on the stage when the ground on the upper level has a purple tinge to it. Unlike Dialga and Cresselia, however, it will use its powers to distort the stage in multiple ways. Some examples include tilting the stage, turning the stage completely upside down, and reversing the screen itself (the last two will cause the movement controls to be reversed temporarily). It often shoots beams in the cave below, dealing a lot of damage to the players that get caught in the blast.
Trophy information
"A Spatial Pokémon. In the Sinnoh region, this Pokémon has been revered for many generations, much like Dialga. Dialga warps time, but Palkia has control over space. It lives between parallel dimensions and is known for its power, rumored to be able to warp space. It can use Spacial Rend to rip through the very space an enemy resides in, damaging the foe at the same time. It is Pearl's mascot."
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U
Palkia appears as a Pokémon released from a Poké Ball. It uses Spacial Rend, which flips the stage for a time, and can cause damage. Palkia also causes damage on contact.
Palkia also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.
Trophy information
NA: Stories surround this Legendary Water/ Dragon-type Pokémon, saying that it has control over all of space. Its Spacial Rend attack will tear space and flip the screen upside down. When this happens, the left and right controls of the fighters will become flipped as well.
PAL: Stories of this Legendary Pokémon say that Palkia is a god that controls all of space. When it uses its Spacial Rend attack in Super Smash Bros., it causes the screen to flip upside down. If that wasn't confusing enough, it also flips the left and right controls!
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Palkia returns as a Pokémon summoned from a Poké Ball, using Spacial Rend like its appearance in For Nintendo 3DS/Wii U while also appearing as a Spirit. Palkia cannot be summoned on 3D Land, Arena Ferox, Balloon Fight, Brinstar, Dream Land GB, Golden Plains, Green Hill Zone, Jungle Japes, Mushroomy Kingdom, Mute City SNES, Paper Mario, PictoChat 2, Prism Tower, Reset Bomb Forest, Spear Pillar (for obvious reasons), Suzaku Castle, Tomodachi Life, Tortimer Island, WarioWare Inc., or Yoshi's Island. Palkia's Spacial Rend will not be able to flip the stage upside down if a fighter is equipped with a spirit with Screen-Flip Immunity, though it will still remain on stage to damage any opponents who touch it. Palkia also reprises its role as a stage hazard on the returning Spear Pillar stage. Spear Pillar now allows for any of the three Legendary Pokémon to appear each time, rather than being set for the whole match.
Trivia
- Origin Forme Palkia is the heaviest Water-type Pokémon.
- In games prior to Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Palkia has a catch rate of 30.
- The gems on Palkia's shoulders resemble Pale Spheres.
- Palkia's gender differs between various Pokémon media. It is gender unknown in the core series games, male in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness's story (although it is still gender unknown for purposes of gameplay) and female in the Russian dub of the anime.
- Palkia is in the highest IQ group. It takes this position in IQ group J, and is the only Pokémon in IQ group J.
- Palkia is the only Pokémon that will cause an Arceus equipped with the Legend Plate to become Dragon-type when using Judgment. This is because Palkia's type permutation is the only one that can result in a Dragon-type Judgment, and Palkia is the only Pokémon with this permutation in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
- Palkia and Dialga are the only two Pokémon that can be legitimately caught in every kind of Poké Ball in the core series to date (besides the Park Ball, which cannot be the registered Poké Ball of any Pokémon), as they are the only two Pokémon that can be caught with the Origin Ball.
- In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness, Palkia, along with Primal Dialga, the legendary giants, the Magnemite family, and Regigigas, all speak in all capital letters, unlike the other Pokémon in the game.
- At the end of one of Palkia's roars from the anime, a roar of Mecha-King Ghidorah, a kaiju from the 1991 Toho film Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah, can be heard.
Origin
Palkia, along with Dialga, may be based on the Shinto legend of Izanami and Izanagi, who are said to have created one island with a spear, erected a pillar on it, and from there created the islands of Japan. Appearance-wise, Palkia is likely based after a European dragon combined with a pearl. Its appearance may also be derived from the Plateosaurus or other bipedal dinosaurs such as the Oviraptor. The plates covering its face along with the crest on its neck together resemble the helmets worn by soldiers in Ancient Greece and Rome — this resemblance is made even more apparent in its Origin Forme.
Its Water type is possibly inspired by its association with pearls, or the large space that oceans are known to span. Metaphorically, it could be a reference to the ever-changing forms of physical matter in the universe, with energy and matter flowing between states and changing forms. It could also refer to the Ancient Greek astronomy depicting Earth submerged in water. Its Water type might also represent the liquid state of matter, whereas Dialga's Steel-type represents the solid state and Giratina's Ghost-type represents the gaseous state.
Palkia's Origin Forme appears to be based on Arceus. It bears similarities to a centaur and the winged horse Pegasus from Greek mythology. As Arceus seems to take inspiration from the qilin, this influence is seen with Origin Forme Palkia as well with its mix of equine and draconic qualities (including Palkia's Dragon typing).
Name origin
Palkia may be derived from パール pāru (pearl), galaxia, and 海 kai (sea, ocean, referring to their liquid state of matter theme).
