'''Giratina''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギラティナ''' ''Giratina'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Dragon}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].


'''Giratina''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギラティナ''' ''Giratina'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Dragon}} [[legendary Pokémon]].  
While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Giratina transforms from its standard [[#Form data|form]], called its '''Altered Forme''', into a second form, called its '''Origin Forme''', while either holding a [[Griseous Orb]] ([[Generation IV]] to [[Generation VIII]]), a [[Griseous Core]] (Generation VIII onward), or while in its home, the [[Distortion World]].


While it is similar to other legendary Pokémon in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, including its post-National Dex appearance and lack of relation to the games' overall plot, it was revealed in early February, 2008 to have an [[Form differences#Giratina|alternate form]] known as the Origin Forme, in addition to the form it takes in Diamond and Pearl, the Altered Forme. It is in this new form that Giratina took its place as [[version mascot]] of {{game|Platinum}}, the third version of [[Generation IV]].
(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Form data|Game data&rarr;Form data]] for these details.)


It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] to or from any other Pokémon.
Giratina's Origin Forme was officially revealed in early February 2008.


==Biology==
Giratina is the [[game mascot]] of {{game|Platinum}}, appearing on the boxart in its Origin Forme.
===Physiology===
As first revealed by Japan's CoroCoro Magazine, Giratina has two forms. The first (Altered Forme) is the form that appeared in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. In this form, Giratina is has a large, gray, centipede-like body with six short legs. Its legs have gold claws and  gold bands on them. It has a tail and a thick black stripe running vertically along the front of its body. There is a series of red horizontal stripes running across the large black one. Three gold half-rings circle the back half of Giratina's neck at the same points that three of the red stripes are at on its front, resembling a ribcage. On its back are two large, black wings that are decorated with red, conical objects that also could be claws.The wings seem oddly out of place, due to the fact that Giratina seems far too heavy to fly effectively. The wings also seem to be ghostly, as they can change shape as if they were made of a liquid.  


Giratina's head and eyes resemble those of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, causing many to theorize that it is related to the two. This assumption is confirmed in Pokémon Platinum. Giratina's {{shiny2}} form is nearly opposite in color compared to the original. The colors of the shiny Origin Forme is the same as the Altered Forme's except for the wings which appear to be a dark shade of brown.
Along with {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, it is one of the [[Pokémon of Myth]], representing {{wp|antimatter}}.


The second is a new Origin Forme which made its debut in ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''; it uses this form when traveling through dimensions other than ours, such as the Distortion World. The form-altering is triggered by a change of gravity. This form is more serpentine than Giratina's Altered Forme. The Origin Forme of Giratina has six black streamers on its back that each have a red spike at the end. Its mouth is hidden by the head plates, which swing open sideways when the mouth is opening. Giratina's legs have been reduced to spike-like protrusions. There are four more golden spikes near the edge of the tail. This version of Giratina also appears in {{game|Platinum}}, and can be activated outside of the [[Distortion World]] if it is holding a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Griseous Orb}}.
==Biology==
Giratina is a large gray draconic {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with three gold half-rings on each side of its long neck. Its head has a gold crown-like object surrounding it with two large horns pointing sideways. A thick black stripe runs vertically along its front with five red horizontal stripes. In its Altered Forme, it has two large black ghostly wings with three red tips on each that can resemble claws. These wings can change shape as if made of a liquid or gas. Its six legs are thick and have golden claws. Two golden half-circles similar to those on its neck are on each side of each leg, resembling shackles. It has a tail with two band-like markings. Giratina remains in its Altered Forme when outside of its home [[dimension]]. It generally moves by levitating itself in the air, as opposed to walking on its six legs.


====Gender differences====
According to myths and legends from the [[Hisui]]/[[Sinnoh]] [[region]], in the beggining of time, the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Arceus}} created the Pokémon of antimatter Giratina, the Pokémon of time {{p|Dialga}}, and the Pokémon of space {{p|Palkia}}, all three in their [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Dialga%2C%20Palkia%2C%20and%20Giratina|Origin Formes]]. After the [[Pokémon universe]] is created, due to Giratina's violent nature, Arceus banished it to a world on the reverse side of the [[Pokémon world]], the [[Distortion World]].
Giratina is genderless.


====Special abilities====
Giratina is a highly aggressive and territorial Pokémon that is protective of its home. It has also been reported to appear in ancient cemeteries. As seen in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Giratina has the power to tear a hole in reality, creating a [[space-time distortion|space-time rift]] along with driving both {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} berserk. The rift also causes huge lightnings that drive [[Noble Pokémon]] into a frienzied state. It is also capable of {{m|Shadow Force|cloaking itself in darkness as it attacks}}. Giratina is said to be equal in strength to Dialga and Palkia. Giratina at one point carried a large grudge against its creator Arceus and was willing to stand against it with the help of a human named [[Volo]], but after being beaten by a [[Player character|human from another time]] and fleeing, it would start to change its ways and protect the {{pkmn|universe}} from threats such as [[Cyrus]]. Due to its typically violent nature, the history of Giratina was covered up due to ancient people fearing it. Giratina is said to have observed the real world silently while in its home dimension. As depicted in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', Giratina can also open portals through any reflective surface. Giratina's role is to keep both worlds in balance. Giratina also had many different titles to it; '''banished Pokémon''', '''Arceus's shadow''', the '''Pokémon of Shadows''', and '''being on the other side of our world'''.
As to be expected with other {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon, Giratina is capable of using Ghost, {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Psychic}} and {{t|Electric}}al attacks. Unlike other {{t|Dragon}} Pokémon, Giratina lacks the ability to wield {{t|Ice}}- and {{type2|Fire}} attacks (save for {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, which most Ghost-types learn anyway). Giratina is one out of seven Pokémon that is capable of using {{m|Aura Sphere}}. Since Giratina is a "true" Dragon Pokémon, it is also capable of using {{m|Draco Meteor}}.


In Platinum, Giratina can transform to its Origin Forme by equipping the Griseous Orb. If the orb is unequipped in battle, it goes back to Altered Forme. The Origin Forme has higher offensive stats while the Altered Forme has higher defenses. Since Giratina's Origin Forme (and the Griseous Orb, for that matter) is exclusive to Platinum, when it is traded to Diamond or Pearl it will revert back to its Altered Forme, and the Griseous Orb it was holding goes back into the player's bag.
Giratina is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Shadow Force}} by leveling up, which gives it the ability to temporarily turn invisible.


Giratina is able to control dimensions besides those of time and space.
===Forms===
[[File:487Giratina Origin Forme Dream 3.png|thumb|left|240px|Origin Giratina's plate mask opened]]
Giratina can change between its Altered Forme and Origin Forme.


Giratina is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Shadow Force}}.
Compared to Palkia and Dialga, both of which resemble Arceus in their Origin Formes, Giratina's Origin Forme takes on a serpentine look. Its legs are reduced to golden-tipped spikes, and four additional golden spikes appear near the edge of its tail. While in Origin Forme, the six gold half-rings can grip objects. The back points of each half-ring have a black ghostly tendril with a red spike at its tip. The horns on its head are now facing the back. The sides of the golden "crown" cover its mouth and separate vertically like an insect's mandible when it opens its mouth. The black vertical stripe is broken into pieces and runs down its body.


With its Origin Forme, it is able to pass through dimensions at will, however, it will turn back to its Altered Forme due to the gravity change from the [[Reverse World]]. It does so by emitting a whirlwind from its mouth which creates a portal.
The Origin Forme of Giratina is said to be Giratina's true form, capable of traveling through and controlling dimensions besides those of time and space. Giratina can only be in its Origin Forme when in its home, the [[Distortion World]], or when holding either a [[Griseous Orb]] or [[Griseous Core]]. Giratina can also maintain its Origin Forme in the real world without items should it get a sufficient amount of power, enough to potentially be equal to Arceus. Giratina is at its full power when in the Origin Forme, and is always levitated in this state. When in its Origin Forme, it can pass through dimensions at will, although it will turn back to its Altered Forme due to the gravity change from the Distortion World. Giratina has the power to turn itself into a shadow and to merge the Distortion World with the [[Pokémon world]], as seen during the events of [[Spear Pillar]]. However, this has the dangerous side effect of distorting it to the risk of being destroyed.

It also seems to have a connection to reflective objects, such as mirrors and pools of water.
==Game data==
[[File:Giratina Pokémon Legends Arceus.png|thumb|right|250px|Giratina with [[Volo]] in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]]]
===NPC appearances===
* '''{{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}: Giratina''' is the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Rock Horn]].
* '''[[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]''': An illusion of Giratina is used by {{p|Solosis}} and {{p|Litwick}} when battling the children of [[Serene Village]] inside [[Ancient Barrow]]. The real Giratina appears as the guardian of the [[Looplet|Grass Looplet]] in the [[Grass Continent]]'s [[Zero Isle]].
* '''[[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]: [[Turnback Cave#Special encounters|Giratina]]''' is one of the major antagonists and boss of the game. It is one of {{ga|Arceus}}'s creations alongside {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. In anger for being banished to the [[Distortion World]] by Arceus, it partnered up with a [[human]] named [[Volo]] and tore open a [[Space-time distortion|rift in space-time]] above [[Mount Coronet]] to try and force Arceus out of hiding. This Giratina is heavily implied to be the same one in {{g|Platinum}}.


===Behavior===
===Pokédex entries===
Judging by the events in Pokémon Platinum and ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', its portrayal in [[Sinnoh myths|ancient folklore]], and its Platinum Pokédex entry, it's assumed that Giratina is a highly aggressive Pokémon that is very protective of [[Distortion World|its home]].

===Habitat===
===Game locations===
Like {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, Giratina is a one-of-a-kind Pokémon due to its "legendary" status. Legends claim that Giratina appears in cemeteries and that this Pokémon supposedly lives in the spirit world, on the reverse side of this one.

{{an|Giratina}} made its anime debut in ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.  In the movie, Giratina ambushes and drags {{an|Dialga}} into the [[Reverse World]] in order to exact revenge against the Temporal Pokémon for causing damage to it during its fight with {{an|Palkia}} [[The Rise of Darkrai|some time before]]. [[Zero]] also attempts to copy Giratina's powers in order to take control over the Reverse World. Throughout the movie, Giratina takes on its Origin Forme whenever it is in the Reverse World, and its Altered Forme whenever it is in the real world.

===Form data===
Along with the other members of the [[Pokémon of Myth]], Giratina has the ability to switch to a second form: Origin Forme. However, Giratina is unique in that its standard form is called Altered Forme.
 
Giratina's Altered Forme debuted in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, while its Origin Forme was introduced in {{game|Platinum}}. From Platinum to {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, it transforms into its Origin Forme while holding a [[Griseous Orb]]. In Platinum, it also transforms into its Origin Forme while in the [[Distortion World]]. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, it changes between its forms when exposed to a [[Griseous Core]]. In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Giratina transforms into its Origin Forme while holding a Griseous Core. If it is deposited in {{g|HOME}}, it will revert to its Altered Forme.
{{Evobox/Formes

}}
 
The forms differ in their [[base stats]]: Giratina's Origin Forme has its {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} switched with its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} (its base stat total is unchanged). In Legends: Arceus, its [[signature move]], {{m|Shadow Force}}, has modified base power and accuracy when used by its Origin Forme, as well as a unique animation.

[[File:Giratina Origin Forme anime.png|thumb|250px|Origin Forme Giratina in the anime]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Giratina (movie)]]=====
Giratina debuted in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', where it sought revenge against {{mov|Dialga}} for the damage it caused to its home, the [[Reverse World]], during its {{pkmn|battle}} with {{mov|Palkia}} in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''. [[Zero]] later attempted to copy Giratina's powers so he could conquer the Reverse World. Throughout the {{pkmn|movie}}, Giratina would take on its Origin Forme whenever it is in the Reverse World, and its Altered Forme whenever it is in the real world.
 
In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', Giratina was shown for the first time with both the other members of [[Pokémon of Myth|its trio]]. It resumed its attack on Dialga, but was finally calmed down through the intervention of {{Ash}} and [[Sheena]]. It later joined forces with Dialga and Palkia to fight {{OBP|Arceus|M12}}.
 
=====Other=====
In ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', Giratina was one of six [[Legendary Pokémon]] summoned and hypnotized by the shadow {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|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 Giratina and the other Legendary Pokémon was lifted, and Giratina departed for its home. It appeared in both of its formes.
 
====Minor appearances====
Giratina made its main series debut in ''[[DP148|Try for the Family Stone!]]'' as an illusion that was created by {{OBP|Mitchell|DP148}}'s {{p|Murkrow}}.
 
In ''[[DP173|Dealing With a Fierce Double Ditto Drama!]]'', {{MTR}}'s [[boss fantasy]] featured Giratina.
 
===Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Giratina Altered Forme PG.png|thumb|left|250px|Altered Forme Giratina in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
[[File:Giratina Origin Forme PG.png|thumb|250px|Origin Forme Giratina in Pokémon Generations]]
In ''[[PG11|The New World]]'', Giratina interfered with [[Cyrus]]'s plan to destroy the world and recreate it. It first emerged from the [[Distortion World]] to free {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} from the [[Red Chain]]. Then, it took Cyrus with it back to its homeworld. It was last seen in its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Giratina|Origin Forme}}, observing Cyrus as he regained consciousness, realized he was in the Distortion World, and accepted it as the new world he sought.
 
===GOTCHA!===
A Giratina briefly appeared in its Origin Forme as a silhouette in [[GOTCHA!]].

* Giratina has many differences from the other members of [[Pokémon of Myth|its trio]]:
* Giratina is the only dual-type Pokémon that has weaknesses to both of its own types, as well as the only {{type2|Ghost}} legendary Pokémon.
** In {{v2|Platinum}}, it has its own unique battle music, can change forms between [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Giratina|Altered Forme and Origin Forme]], and has two different menu sprites.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Giratina.
** It is the only member without any double resistances.
* Giratina is one of very few non-{{type2|Flying}} Pokémon that is able to learn {{m|Fly}}. The others are: {{p|Vibrava}}, {{p|Flygon}}, {{p|Latios}}, and {{p|Latias}} (all four of which have the [[ability]] {{a|Levitate}}), {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Smeargle}}, and {{p|Arceus}} (all three of which can learn all [[HM]] moves). It is the only one who does not permanently keep Levitate.  Additionally, before the revelation of its Origin Forme, it was unique as learning Fly but not having access to Levitate at all.
** Its {{stat|HP}} is its highest stat rather than {{stat|Special Attack}}.
* It is one of eight Pokémon which can change forms, the other seven being {{p|Castform}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Cherrim}}, {{p|Burmy}}, {{p|Rotom}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Arceus}}. Giratina's Origin Forme is only available in {{game|Platinum}}.
** It does not have a [[Pokémon of Myth orbs|Pokémon of Myth orb]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} (the [[Griseous Orb]] was introduced in Pokémon Platinum).
* The Altered Forme is shorter and heavier than the Origin Forme.
** It is met at level 70 in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl while the other members are met at level 47. This is reversed in Pokémon Platinum.
* In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Giratina is met at level 70, while in {{v2|Platinum}}, Giratina is met at level 47, while {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} are met at level 70.
** It is separated from the other members of its group in the Pokédex by {{p|Heatran}} and {{p|Regigigas}}.
* Giratina, as of Platinum, is the only Pokémon to come out from above instead of from the left of the screen during the start of the battle.
** It is the only member without a 100% [[Recruitment|recruit rate]] in the {{g|Mystery Dungeon}} series.
* When Giratina is first battled in Platinum, it does not have a shadow. After capture though, it gains one when leaving a [[Poké Ball]]. This may also occur after appearing again after using {{m|Shadow Force}}.
** It is the only member whose {{game3|Platinum|box art}} differs from its official art released with {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}.
**Coincidentally, [[Cyrus]] keeps referring to Giratina as ''the shadowy creature''.
* Giratina's encounter in the [[Distortion World]] in Pokémon Platinum has several distinctions from other battles:
* The first shown sprite of its Origin Forme was not used in Platinum.
** At the start of battle, it uniquely descends from the top of the screen, and is accompanied by the unique message "The Distortion World's Giratina appeared!". It is still a [[wild Pokémon]] despite the unique message.
* Giratina is the only one of the [[dragon trio]] with a catch rate of 3.
** No platform is displayed beneath Giratina, and it does not have a shadow until it uses {{m|Shadow Force}} or breaks out of a [[Poké Ball]].
* In its Origin Forme, Giratina has the highest {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon.
* Giratina is tied with {{p|Lunala}}, {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings}} {{p|Necrozma}}, and {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Calyrex|Shadow Rider}} {{p|Calyrex}} for the highest base stat total of all {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.
* Giratina's Altered Forme is the second heaviest of all Pokémon, surpassed only by {{p|Groudon}}; however, its Origin Forme is the fourth heaviest.
** Giratina is tied with {{p|Drifblim}} for the highest base {{stat|HP}} stat of all Ghost-type Pokémon.
* Giratina is the only Pokémon in a legendary trio that is separated from the other members of its group in the Pokédex.
* Giratina is the only Legendary Pokémon that can be obtained in all five of the Generation IV [[core series]] handheld games.
* Giratina is the only Pokémon of its trio whose {{m|Shadow Force|signature move}} is not of the {{type|Dragon}}.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the second frame of Giratina's Altered Forme sprite was changed, but the static sprite remained the same.
* Giratina is the only one of its trio without a jewel located somewhere on its body
** This sprite is also present in Pokémon Platinum's data, but is unused.
* Giratina is considered to be the forgotten one, among itself, Dialga and Palkia, even though all three were created by {{p|Arceus}}.
* In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, [[Fantina]] has an Origin Forme Giratina without a Griseous Orb in [[The Battle Between Legendary Pokémon]].
* Altered Forme Giratina is the [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon and the only {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon with {{DL|List of Pokémon by shape|Pokémon with tentacles or a multiped body|tentacles or a multiped body}}.
** Origin Forme Giratina is both the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon and the tallest [[Generation IV]] Pokémon.
* In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, {{Shiny}} Giratina in its Origin Forme causes a game crash when using {{m|Shadow Force}}. This bug has yet to be fixed.
* The symbols for the {{TCG|Platinum}} expansion [[File:SetSymbolPlatinum.png|30px]] and the {{TCG|Lost Origin}} expansion [[File:SetSymbolLost Origin.png|30px]] resemble Giratina's Origin Forme, seen from the front.


===Origin===
===Origin===
Giratina is possibly based on a {{wp|basilisk}}. In the Altered Forme, the wings may be based on a bat's, and its body has the insect-like, six-legged feature, but its posture is similar to a [[wp:sauropod|sauropod]]. Its Origin Forme has a body similar to a serpent, while the six protrusions on its body may be based off of a [[wp:scorpion|scorpion]]'s stinger.
According to [[Junichi Masuda]] and [[Takeshi Kawachimaru]], Giratina and the [[Distortion World]] are personifications of {{wp|antimatter}}. <ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120924075934/http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/694081/junichi-masuda-takeshi-kawachimaru-talk-pokemon-platinum-particle-physics-bridges-and-more/ Junichi Masuda & Takeshi Kawachimaru Talk 'Pokemon Platinum', Particle Physics, Bridges, And More! - G4tv.com (archived)]</ref>
 
Giratina may also draw inspiration from {{wp|fallen angel}}s, celestial beings that rebelled against God and were excommunicated to Hell — analogous to Giratina being exiled by {{p|Arceus}} to another [[dimension]] due to its belligerent nature. Furthermore, it might allude to {{wp|Samael}}, who is the ruler of the 5th Heaven and has grim and destructive duties whilst being a member of a heavenly host.  
 
In its Altered Forme, Giratina resembles a {{wp|European dragon}} or {{wp|sauropod}}. It also shares similarities with some ''{{wp|kaiju}}'' depictions in popular media. Its wings may be based on a bat's, and its body has an insect-like six-legged feature.
 
Giratina Origin Forme's serpentine body may be based on a {{wp|Chinese dragon}}, an {{wp|Amphiptere}}, or an ''{{wp|Ōmukade|Oomukade}}'', a giant centipede with dragon-like features, said to prey on dragon and be as large as a mountain. It may also be based on a {{wp|Seraph}}, a class of angels known for its six wings and, in some depictions, a serpentine body. Similarly, it also shares some similarities with other serpents or dragon-like creatures in Abrahamic religions, such as the {{wp|Serpents in the Bible#Ancient serpent|ancient serpent}} or the {{wp|Leviathan}}. The design of its six wings may be based on a {{wp|scorpion}}'s stinger or {{wp|spider}} legs.
 
Additionally, Its {{t|Ghost}} [[type]] may parallel its counterparts' type: {{p|Palkia}} is part {{type|Water}}, and {{p|Dialga}} is part {{type|Steel}} — all three may reference the three primary {{wp|State of matter|states of matter}}; gas, liquid, and solid.


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Giratina's name may be derived from {{wp|platinum}} (written as ''purachina'' in {{wp|katakana}}) and either {{wp|guillotine}}, <span class="plainlinks">[http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Girasol girasol]</span>, {{wp|giraffe}} or girare (meaning to wander).  
Giratina may be derived from ''platina'' (Spanish for ''platinum''). It may also involve ''guilty'', ''{{wp|guillotine}}'', ギラリ ''girari'' (onomatopoeia for glaring), and possibly ''girasol'' (a type of {{wp|opal}}).

Giratina (Japanese: ギラティナ Giratina) is a dual-type Ghost/Dragon Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, Giratina transforms from its standard form, called its Altered Forme, into a second form, called its Origin Forme, while either holding a Griseous Orb (Generation IV to Generation VIII), a Griseous Core (Generation VIII onward), or while in its home, the Distortion World.

Giratina's Origin Forme was officially revealed in early February 2008.

Giratina is the game mascot of Pokémon Platinum, appearing on the boxart in its Origin Forme.

Along with Dialga and Palkia, it is one of the Pokémon of Myth, representing antimatter.

Biology

Giratina is a large gray draconic Pokémon with three gold half-rings on each side of its long neck. Its head has a gold crown-like object surrounding it with two large horns pointing sideways. A thick black stripe runs vertically along its front with five red horizontal stripes. In its Altered Forme, it has two large black ghostly wings with three red tips on each that can resemble claws. These wings can change shape as if made of a liquid or gas. Its six legs are thick and have golden claws. Two golden half-circles similar to those on its neck are on each side of each leg, resembling shackles. It has a tail with two band-like markings. Giratina remains in its Altered Forme when outside of its home dimension. It generally moves by levitating itself in the air, as opposed to walking on its six legs.

According to myths and legends from the Hisui/Sinnoh region, in the beggining of time, the Mythical Pokémon Arceus created the Pokémon of antimatter Giratina, the Pokémon of time Dialga, and the Pokémon of space Palkia, all three in their Origin Formes. After the Pokémon universe is created, due to Giratina's violent nature, Arceus banished it to a world on the reverse side of the Pokémon world, the Distortion World.

Giratina is a highly aggressive and territorial Pokémon that is protective of its home. It has also been reported to appear in ancient cemeteries. As seen in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Giratina has the power to tear a hole in reality, creating a space-time rift along with driving both Dialga and Palkia berserk. The rift also causes huge lightnings that drive Noble Pokémon into a frienzied state. It is also capable of cloaking itself in darkness as it attacks. Giratina is said to be equal in strength to Dialga and Palkia. Giratina at one point carried a large grudge against its creator Arceus and was willing to stand against it with the help of a human named Volo, but after being beaten by a human from another time and fleeing, it would start to change its ways and protect the universe from threats such as Cyrus. Due to its typically violent nature, the history of Giratina was covered up due to ancient people fearing it. Giratina is said to have observed the real world silently while in its home dimension. As depicted in Giratina and the Sky Warrior, Giratina can also open portals through any reflective surface. Giratina's role is to keep both worlds in balance. Giratina also had many different titles to it; banished Pokémon, Arceus's shadow, the Pokémon of Shadows, and being on the other side of our world.

Giratina is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Shadow Force by leveling up, which gives it the ability to temporarily turn invisible.

Forms

Origin Giratina's plate mask opened

Giratina can change between its Altered Forme and Origin Forme.

Compared to Palkia and Dialga, both of which resemble Arceus in their Origin Formes, Giratina's Origin Forme takes on a serpentine look. Its legs are reduced to golden-tipped spikes, and four additional golden spikes appear near the edge of its tail. While in Origin Forme, the six gold half-rings can grip objects. The back points of each half-ring have a black ghostly tendril with a red spike at its tip. The horns on its head are now facing the back. The sides of the golden "crown" cover its mouth and separate vertically like an insect's mandible when it opens its mouth. The black vertical stripe is broken into pieces and runs down its body.

The Origin Forme of Giratina is said to be Giratina's true form, capable of traveling through and controlling dimensions besides those of time and space. Giratina can only be in its Origin Forme when in its home, the Distortion World, or when holding either a Griseous Orb or Griseous Core. Giratina can also maintain its Origin Forme in the real world without items should it get a sufficient amount of power, enough to potentially be equal to Arceus. Giratina is at its full power when in the Origin Forme, and is always levitated in this state. When in its Origin Forme, it can pass through dimensions at will, although it will turn back to its Altered Forme due to the gravity change from the Distortion World. Giratina has the power to turn itself into a shadow and to merge the Distortion World with the Pokémon world, as seen during the events of Spear Pillar. However, this has the dangerous side effect of distorting it to the risk of being destroyed.

Form data

Along with the other members of the Pokémon of Myth, Giratina has the ability to switch to a second form: Origin Forme. However, Giratina is unique in that its standard form is called Altered Forme.

Giratina's Altered Forme debuted in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, while its Origin Forme was introduced in Pokémon Platinum. From Platinum to Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, it transforms into its Origin Forme while holding a Griseous Orb. In Platinum, it also transforms into its Origin Forme while in the Distortion World. In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, it changes between its forms when exposed to a Griseous Core. In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Giratina transforms into its Origin Forme while holding a Griseous Core. If it is deposited in Pokémon HOME, it will revert to its Altered Forme.

The forms differ in their base stats: Giratina's Origin Forme has its Defense and Special Defense switched with its Attack and Special Attack (its base stat total is unchanged). In Legends: Arceus, its signature move, Shadow Force, has modified base power and accuracy when used by its Origin Forme, as well as a unique animation.

Major appearances

Giratina (movie)

Giratina debuted in Giratina and the Sky Warrior, where it sought revenge against Dialga for the damage it caused to its home, the Reverse World, during its battle with Palkia in The Rise of Darkrai. Zero later attempted to copy Giratina's powers so he could conquer the Reverse World. Throughout the movie, Giratina would take on its Origin Forme whenever it is in the Reverse World, and its Altered Forme whenever it is in the real world.

In Arceus and the Jewel of Life, Giratina was shown for the first time with both the other members of its trio. It resumed its attack on Dialga, but was finally calmed down through the intervention of Ash and Sheena. It later joined forces with Dialga and Palkia to fight Arceus.

Other

In Hoopa and the Clash of Ages, Giratina 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 Giratina and the other Legendary Pokémon was lifted, and Giratina departed for its home. It appeared in both of its formes.

Trivia

Altered Forme Giratina at Turnback Cave in Pokémon Platinum

Origin

According to Junichi Masuda and Takeshi Kawachimaru, Giratina and the Distortion World are personifications of antimatter. [1]

Giratina may also draw inspiration from fallen angels, celestial beings that rebelled against God and were excommunicated to Hell — analogous to Giratina being exiled by Arceus to another dimension due to its belligerent nature. Furthermore, it might allude to Samael, who is the ruler of the 5th Heaven and has grim and destructive duties whilst being a member of a heavenly host.

In its Altered Forme, Giratina resembles a European dragon or sauropod. It also shares similarities with some kaiju depictions in popular media. Its wings may be based on a bat's, and its body has an insect-like six-legged feature.

Giratina Origin Forme's serpentine body may be based on a Chinese dragon, an Amphiptere, or an Oomukade, a giant centipede with dragon-like features, said to prey on dragon and be as large as a mountain. It may also be based on a Seraph, a class of angels known for its six wings and, in some depictions, a serpentine body. Similarly, it also shares some similarities with other serpents or dragon-like creatures in Abrahamic religions, such as the ancient serpent or the Leviathan. The design of its six wings may be based on a scorpion's stinger or spider legs.

Additionally, Its Ghost type may parallel its counterparts' type: Palkia is part Water-type, and Dialga is part Steel-type — all three may reference the three primary states of matter; gas, liquid, and solid.

Name origin

Giratina may be derived from platina (Spanish for platinum). It may also involve guilty, guillotine, ギラリ girari (onomatopoeia for glaring), and possibly girasol (a type of opal).
