Villain Overview

This Pokémon is feared as a deity in Hisuian legend. The birth of Palkia was what caused the walls of our world to disappear, creating a sky that spans for infinity.
~ Altered Forme Palkia's Legends: Arceus Pokédex entry.

Palkia is a recurring character in the Pokémon franchise.

It is a Water/Dragon Type Pokémon and member of the Creation Trio, a trio of God-like Pokémon, each possessing and embodying an element of reality. Its "siblings" Dialga and Giratina embody time and antimatter respectively, while Palkia embodies space. Along with its "siblings", Palkia possesses two forms; its Origin Form, its original appearance and the one it takes while in the Spatial World, and its Altered Form, the form it takes out of the Spatial World.

Appearance[]

Palkia is a white and purple reptilian Legendary Pokémon with one orange gem on each shoulder. It has an underbite, with two dagger-like appendages protruding from its chin.

Biography[]

Core series games[]

Origins[]

In the start of the universe, Arceus created Dialga, Palkia and Giratina at the same time, forming the Creation Trio and as a result, giving birth to the Pokémon universe and maybe multiverse. After its sibling Giratina was banished to the Distortion World, both it and Dialga created their own dimensions where they'd live from that moment on, isolated from everything else.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus[]

As Giratina and Volo open a vortex above the Temple of Sinnoh to try and get Arceus out of hiding, both Dialga and Palkia become berserk by it, creating space-time distortions, which causes Pokémon from the future to appear, create Alpha Pokémon and make Noble Pokémon go berserk as well.

Pokémon Pearl/Pokémon Shining Pearl[]

In the climax of the games, Palkia is summoned atop Spear Pillar by Cyrus and uses the Red Chain to control the godly dragon and force it to destroy the whole universe and create a new one lacking any kind of "spirit" in it. Lucas/Dawn and Barry arrive at Spear Pillar, they together defeat Jupiter and Mars and then Lucas/Dawn manage to beat Cyrus once and for all. The Lake Guardians, Uxie, Meprit and Azelf appear after being freed by them and together, free Palkia from the Red Chain, allowing Lucas/Dawn to battle and catch it, finally saving the universe.

Pokémon Platinum[]

Similarly to Pokémon Pearl, Palkia is summoned atop Spear Pillar but now along with its counterpart Dialga by Cyrus to create his new universe and they're controlled by Red Chains. Even though the Lake Guardians appear to help as well, they're unable to free both Legendaries at the same time, making Cyrus's victory almost certain. Due to his actions however, Giratina emerges at the Spear Pillar from the Distortion World, frees both Dialga and Palkia before dragging him into the Distortion World, allowing both to fly away back into their homeworlds.

Anime[]

The Rise of Darkrai[]

Dialga and Palkia encounter one another in the Unown Dimension and clash. Injured by Dialga's Roar of Time, Palkia flees to Alamos Town, causing the city and its residents to find themselves trapped within another dimension, slowly disintegrating due to the presence of Palkia.

Then Dialga arrives to fight Palkia, causing the dimension to shrink faster with every blow the two deal. Darkrai attempts to stop the two, only for them to blast and seemingly kill him as he fades away from the dimension. Just before the two deal the finishing blow, Ash and Dawn use the bells of the Space-Time Towers to play "Oración", soothing Dialga and Palkia. While Dialga returns to its home dimension, Palkia shows sorrow for getting Alamos Town involved and restores it by sending it back to the correct dimension.

Arceus and the Jewel of Life[]

As Giratina and Volo open a vortex above the Temple of Sinnoh to try and get Arceus out of hiding, both Dialga and Palkia become berserk by it, creating space-time distortions, which causes Pokémon from the future to appear, create Alpha Pokémon and make Noble Pokémon go berserk as well.

Spin-off games[]

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness and Explorers of Sky[]

Palkia serves as an anti-villain in the Post Story, where he is manipulated by Cresselia (really Darkrai in disguise) into killing the player and their partner for causing distortions in space for returning from the future. He takes them to his dimension in Spacial Rift to finish them off, but the two defeat him. Cresselia appears and enters Palkia's dream, dragging the player and the partner in with her. Cresselia orders Palkia to finish the two off, but before he can, the real Cresselia appears and exposes Darkrai from the dream. Palkia apologizes for the misunderstanding and returns the party back to their home dimension.

After the party defeats Darkrai in the Dark Crater, just as he escapes within a dimensional hole, Palkia arrives and smashes the portal with Darkrai inside it. Later, if the player returns to Spacial Rift and defeats Palkia again, he will request to join the team.

Super Smash Bros.[]

Palkia appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a stage hazard in the Spear Pillar stage alongside Dialga and Cresselia. It attacks by using Hyper Beam to destroy a section of the stage, or by manipulating space by mirroring the stage or flipping it upside down. It also appears in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a Pokémon that can be summoned via a Pokéball or Master Ball. When it appears, Palkia slices whoever is near it with the Spacial Rend and then proceeds to flip the camera upside down.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Palkia also serves as a primary shield-type spirit. Its spirit battle is against Mewtwo on Spear Pillar where Palkia appears to alter the controls by reversing the left and right directions.

Trivia[]
