Effect

Spacial Rend deals damage and has an increased critical hit ratio.

Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia

In the sequel to Pokémon Ranger, Palkia is available in a special mission. Palkia's Spacial Rend distorts Almia, causing many strange things to happen, such as people warping when they pass through doors and fishermen fishing on sand or lava. Whilst being captured, Palkia uses Spacial Rend to warp the capture location at timed intervals, causing effects such as flames or ice spurting from the ground.
