Palkia (Japanese: パルキア Palkia) is a dual-type Water/Dragon Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Palkia is the game mascot of Pokémon Pearl, appearing on the boxart.

Along with Dialga and Giratina, it is a member of the creation trio of Sinnoh, representing space.

Biology

Palkia is a light purple theropod-like Pokémon with stripes and markings of a darker shade and gray underarms and waist. It has round purple-striped plates on its shoulder area, where two pink pearls lie encrusted with a gray rim encircling them and fins in their back. Palkia’s arms have extended formations resembling gauntlets and a purple band around each wrist. Palkia has a long neck, a pointed white crest on the top of its head that extends to its wings, two strong horn-like tusks on the sides of its jaw, and a powerful tail. As seen in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness, Palkia travels by creating a large yellow sphere from its two pearls, then using it to fly very fast.

Palkia has the ability to warp space, though it was said to create alternate realities as well. Palkia lives in a different dimension, making its behavior nearly impossible to study. However, Palkia has been seen in violent conflicts with its counterpart, Dialga. It has been known to be very protective of its home as well. Palkia is the only known Pokémon that can learn Spacial Rend.

In the anime

In the main series

Major appearances

Palkia in the anime
Palkia (movie)

Palkia appeared in the first three Diamond & Pearl series Pokémon movies. It was first shown in The Rise of Darkrai, where it fought with Dialga and Darkrai in a battle that nearly destroyed Alamos Town. It was shown in a flashback in Giratina and the Sky Warrior. Palkia's final movie appearance was in Arceus and the Jewel of Life. It was shown for the first time with both the other members of its trio, and started a battle with them which awoke Arceus.

Other

Palkia had a major appearance in The Battle Finale of Legend!, in the conclusion of Team Galactic's plot at Mt. Coronet.

Palkia appeared in Hoopa and the Clash of Ages as one of six Legendary Pokémon summoned and hypnotized by the shadow Hoopa Unbound as its reinforcements. It and its teammates engaged in a battle against the Latios, Latias, and Shiny Rayquaza summoned to protect the real Hoopa in Dahara City. Eventually, after the shadow Hoopa was sealed in a Prison Bottle, the hypnosis on Palkia and the other Legendary Pokémon was lifted, and Palkia departed for its home.

Minor appearances

Palkia made its debut in A Secret Sphere of Influence! in a fantasy.

Palkia made a brief appearance in Meowth's fantasy in For The Love of Meowth!.

A statue of Palkia appeared alongside a Dialga statue during the ending credits of Zoroark: Master of Illusions, where they were both visited by Paul.

In Pokémon Generations

Palkia appeared in The New World along with Dialga. Both of them were captured at Spear Pillar by Cyrus, who intended to use them to destroy the world and create a new one. Along with Dialga, it was freed by Giratina before they could help Cyrus succeed in his goal.

In the manga

In the movie adaptations

Main article: Palkia (movie)

Palkia debuted in The Rise of Darkrai manga adaptation fighting Dialga.

In the Arceus and the Jewel of Life manga adaptation, Palkia, along with the members of its trio, were summoned by Sheena to help Ash and his friends. Palkia soon engaged in a battle with the other members of its trio with Arceus.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Main article: Creation trio (Adventures)

Palkia, along with Dialga, was summoned by Cyrus in the Diamond & Pearl arc in order to create a new world. Cyrus used the Red Chains to force Dialga and Palkia to fight each other in order to distort time and space and create a portal that would swallow the existing world. Diamond, Pearl and Platinum worked together with their Pokémon to free Dialga and Palkia from their controlled states. It first appeared in Creeping Away from Cradily.

Later on, an accident with handling Charon's machine caused Dialga, Palkia and Cyrus to be dragged into the portal before it closed completely. In the Platinum arc, it was revealed that Giratina imprisoned both Dialga and Palkia in the Distortion World before setting off into the current dimension to wreak havoc. Soon, Cyrus and Diamond met in the Distortion World, and agreed to free Dialga and Palkia using their Pokémon. Dialga and Palkia later resumed their struggle against Giratina in the Distortion World. When Charon decided to escape from the Distortion World on Giratina, Pearl got on Palkia and chased after him. Giratina was eventually defeated, with Dialga and Palkia forcing it back into the Distortion World for good, before both returned to the Spear Pillar.

In the HeartGold & SoulSilver arc, Palkia was created in the Sinjoh Ruins, along with Dialga and Giratina, by Arceus' creation process, which was forced by Team Rocket's Four Generals. Knowing that the creation process would threaten the Johto region, Team Rocket's true leader Giovanni returned with Lance and Pryce to keep the creation trio at bay while Gold tried to calm Arceus down. Palkia was kept at bay by Lance and his Dragonite. Once Arceus was eventually becalmed, Dialga and Palkia departed from Johto and were spotted by Cynthia.

In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga

Palkia appeared in The Advent of the Legendary Pokémon!! as a silhouette. It officially debuted in Will Hareta's Wish Get Through?!.

In the Pocket Monsters Platinum: Aim to Be Battle King!! manga

Palkia, along with the members of its trio, appeared in PBK5 where it fought against Shin's Abomasnow and Mamoswine and defeated the latter. It fought against Yū Shirogane and lost.

Main article: Palkia (TCG)

Other appearances

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Palkia on Spear Pillar

Palkia occasionally appears on the Spear Pillar stage as one of three Pokémon that controls it. It only appears on the stage when the ground on the upper levels have a purple tinge to them. Unlike Dialga and Cresselia, it'll use its powers to distort the stage however possible. Some examples include tilting the stage, turning the stage completely upside down and reversing the screen itself (the last two will cause the movement controls to be reversed temporarily). It often shoot beams in the cave below, dealing a lot of damage to the players that get caught in the blast.

Trophy information

"A Spatial Pokémon. In the Sinnoh region, this Pokémon has been revered for many generations, much like Dialga. Dialga warps time, but Palkia has control over space. It lives between parallel dimensions and is known for its power, rumored to be able to warp space. It can use Spacial Rend to rip through the very space an enemy resides in, damaging the foe at the same time. It is Pearl's mascot."

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U

Palkia appears as a Pokémon released from a Poké Ball. It will use Spacial Rend, which will flip the stage for a time, and can cause damage. Palkia also causes damage on contact.

Trophy information

NA: Stories surround this Legendary Water/ Dragon-type Pokémon, saying that it has control over all of space. Its Spacial Rend attack will tear space and flip the screen upside down. When this happens, the left and right controls of the fighters will become flipped as well.

PAL: Stories of this Legendary Pokémon say that Palkia is a god that controls all of space. When it uses its Spacial Rend attack in Super Smash Bros., it causes the screen to flip upside down. If that wasn't confusing enough, it also flips the left and right controls!

Trivia

Origin

Palkia, along with Dialga, may be based on the Shinto legend of Izanami and Izanagi, who are said to have created one island with a spear, erected a pillar on it, and from there created the islands of Japan. Appearance-wise, Palkia is likely based after a European dragon combined with a pearl. Its appearance may also be derived from the Plateosaurus or other bipedal dinosaurs such as the Oviraptor.

Name origin

Palkia is derived from the Japanese spelling of pearl, パール pāru.
