===Who's that Pokémon: Palkia===
===Know your ability: Torrent===
* '''Palkia''' (Japanese: '''パルキア''' ''Palkia'') is a major character who first appeared in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.
* '''Torrent''' (Japanese: '''げきりゅう''' ''Raging Rapids'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation III]].  
* Palkia engaged in a massive battle with {{an|Dialga}} in [[Alternate dimension|another dimension]], where it got injured by Dialga's {{m|Roar of Time}}. It fled to [[Pokémon world|the dimension]] of {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|the rest}}. Palkia's presence caused the other dimension to be disintegrated into the Ash's dimension little by little.
* Prior to [[Generation V]], it remained exclusive to {{type|Water}} [[starter Pokémon]] and their evolutions. Currently, only Water-type Pokémon are still capable of having this Ability.
* Palkia was followed by Dialga, and the two started to fight in [[Alamos Town]]. Only magnifying the volume of the song "[[Oración]]" was able to soothe both Pokémon and cause them to stop fighting. After the insisting of Ash and {{an|Dawn}}, Palkia returned things to the way they were.
* When a Pokémon with Torrent uses a {{type|Water}} [[move]], the power will increase by 1.5× if the user has less than or equal to a third of its maximum HP remaining.
* Palkia was only mentioned in a flashback of its battle with Dialga in [[Alamos Town]] in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.
* Torrent has only been activated in ''[[DP184|Casting a Paul on Barry!]]'', when it was activated by [[Barry's Empoleon]] in its battle against [[Paul's Electivire]].
* In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', it was revealed that Palkia and Dialga's fight was caused by their dimensions intersecting due to {{an|Arceus}}'s awakening. To prevent the two from fighting again, [[Sheena]] used her powers to touch a Pokémon's heart to reach Palkia and explain, ending the feud with Dialga once and for all.
* In the ''[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]]'' manga, Torrent was activated by [[Hareta's Piplup]] in ''[[DPA01|In Search of the Legendary Pokémon Dialga!!]]'', the manga's first chapter.
* Palkia helped protect Ash and friends from Arceus's attacks, but it was seriously injured alongside Dialga and {{an|Giratina}}. When Ash and the others successfully changed the timeline, Arceus healed Palkia and the other two, and Palkia returned to its own dimension to live peacefully once more.
<!--* insert TCG info here. it's hard to search.-->
* Palkia was shown to know {{m|Spacial Rend}}, {{m|Aura Sphere}}, {{m|Hyper Beam}}, and {{m|Protect}}, which it all used first in ''The Rise of Darkrai''.
