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

Giratina is the [[version mascot]] of {{game|Platinum}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[Image:GiratinaOriginForme.png|thumb|Official [[Ken Sugimori|Sugimori]] art of Giratina's Origin Forme.|180px|left]]

As first revealed by Japan's CoroCoro Magazine, Giratina has two forms. The first (Another Forme) is the form seen in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions]]. In this form, Giratina is a large, gray, six legged,dragon like creature with six short legs. Its legs have golden claws and gold bands on them. It has a tail and thick red and black stripes running horizontally along the front of its body. There is a series of red horizontal stripes running beside the black ones. Three golden 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 golden ribcage. On its back are two large, black wings that are decorated with red, conical objects. The wings seem oddly out of place, due to the fact that Giratina seems far too heavy to fly effectively (although it can). Giratina's head and eyes resemble those of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, making many have a theory that it is related to the two. Giratina's {{shiny2}} form is almost a perfect negative of the original.

The second is a new Origin Forme which made its debut in ''[[Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin]]''; it uses this form when traveling through different dimensions. This form is more serpentine than Giratina's Another Forme. The Origin Forme of Giratina has six black streamers on its back that each have a red spike at the end. Giratina's legs have been reduced to looking like spikes. There are four more golden spikes near the edge of the tail. This version of Giratina will make an in-game appearance in the upcoming {{game|Platinum}}.

====Gender differences====
Giratina is genderless.

====Special abilities====
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}}.

Giratina is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Shadow Force}}.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
Giratina is a very rare (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.

===Diet===

==In the anime==

{{an|Giratina}} made its anime debut in ''[[Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin]]'', and it may be in the 12th Pokémon movie.

==Trivia==
* Giratina is the only dual-type Pokémon that has weaknesses to both of its own types, as well as the first {{type2|Ghost}} legendary Pokémon.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] combination as Giratina.
* 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 interesting to note that in addition to appearing to be a member of the [[dragon trio]], Giratina also shares qualities with the [[lake trio]], as it is found in a cave near [[Sendoff Spring]], also known as the "fourth lake of [[Sinnoh]]," with the [[lake trio]] also being located in caves near (or in their case, on) lakes.
[[Image:Giratina_Origine_Platinum.png|thumb|Lucas vs. Giratina|right]]
*It is one of seven Pokémon which can change into forms specific to itself, the other six being {{p|Castform}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Cherrim}}, {{p|Burmy}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Arceus}}. Like Deoxys's other forms were not available in the original two versions of its generation, {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, but later became available in the rest of [[Generation III]], Giratina's Origin Forme will be available in {{game|Platinum}}.
*The Another Forme is shorter and heavier than the Origin Forme.[http://www.pokemon-movie.jp/giratina/index.html ]
*In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Giratina is met at level 70, while in {{v2|Platinum}}, Giratina is met at level 47, the same as {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}.
*Giratina is the only version mascot to share one of its types with those of all other versions in its [[generation]]. It is also the first version mascot that does not appear in the [[regional Pokédex]] of the region in which the game it is mascot of takes place.
*When [[CoroCoro]] revealed Giratina's two forms, they were spelled "Origine Forme" and "Another Forme," the E's on the ends of the words being reminiscent of {{wp|Middle English}}. On the official website for {{game|Platinum}}, however, the forms are named as "Origin Forme" and "Another Forme". Due to the revelation made by [[Pokémon.com]], where, in their online Pokédex, Deoxys's different forms are named as Normal Forme, Attack Forme, Defense Forme, and Speed Forme, it is likely that this spelling of the word "Form" will carry on into the English translation of both ''[[Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin]]'' and {{game|Platinum}}.

===Origin===
Giratina is possibly based on a {{wp|basilisk}}.

====Name origin====
Giratina's name may be derived from {{wp|platinum}} (written as ''platina'' in {{wp|katakana}}) and either {{wp|guillotine}}, [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Girasol girasol], {{wp|giraffe}} or girare (meaning to wander).
