The dragon trio, sometimes called the Deity Trio, is a term used to refer to three powerful legendary Pokémon of the Sinnoh region: Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina.
Much like members of other legendary trios, the three Pokémon have similar appearances. Each has Dragon as their secondary type, as well as a base stat total of 680, divided among the stats as 150-120-120-100-100-90, in different orders.
Dialga controls time and Palkia controls space, two aspects of the four-dimensional universe that the Pokémon world, like our own, is a part of. The final member, Giratina, has control over antimatter and the Distortion World, where time does not flow and space is unstable.
The three members of this trio share the ability Pressure; however, Giratina's Origin Forme has Levitate. Likewise, the three are the version mascots of the three Generation IV Sinnoh-based games, and have similar level-up learnsets.
The dragon trio makes another appearance in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. An event involving Cynthia and Arceus at the Shinto Ruins will allow a single dragon to be obtained at level 1.

Trivia
- Of the three, Palkia is the only member of its trio to share its type with another Pokémon.
- Giratina (in Platinum), has its own unique battle music, is able to change forms (between Altered Forme and Origin Forme), and has two different menu sprites. Also, Giratina is the only member whose box art differs from its original sprite in Diamond and Pearl.
- This trio is the only one whose members are not all in a direct National Dex sequence: Heatran and Regigigas divide Dialga and Palkia from Giratina.
- No two members of the trio have the same number of legs. Even when one considers Giratina Origin Forme this remains true, as Origin Forme Giratina has no legs, Palkia has two, Dialga has four, and Altered Forme Giratina has six.
- The primary types of each of the trio are the specialty types of three gyms of Sinnoh, the only region that has gyms of those types all together.
