Palkia is a twin-type Water/Dragon legendary Pokémon. He is also the version mascot of Pokémon Pearl, appearing on the boxart.

Palkia is one of the main Pokémon in Generation IV. His first appearence is in the Spear Pillar of Pokémon Platinum or Pokeémon Pearl. In Pokémon Diamond, he must be traded from one of the other games to obtain. He is also one of the Pokémon critical to completing the Sinnoh Pokédex.

On Pokémon Diamond, to get Palkia into your Pokédex you must talk to the Elder of Celestic Town, who will show you a book that was found in Mt. Coronet.

History

Palkia is the legendery Pokémon that controls Space, while Dialga controls time. Although Palkia can usually bend space to his will, in the spin-off Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and darkness Darkrai was able to overpower Palkia, but Palkia blamed the players and attempted to get rid of them. He also has a signature move, Spacial Rend.

Pokémon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum

In Generation IV, Palkia's role in Diamond wasn't very big. However, in Pearl, Palkia is the Pokémon awakened by the Red Chain by Cyrus, but was stopped by the Lake Trio. He is then able to be caught at level 47.

In Platinum, Palkia is summoned - along with Dialga - by Cyrus, in an attempt to create a new world. However by doing this, Cyrus accidentally brings Giratina into the real world, who sees that time and space have been disrupted, and attempts to stop Cyrus. After Giratina is calmed, Palkia is able to be caught at the Spear Pillar.

Pokeémon HeartGold and SoulSilver

Palkia can be obtained with the hold item Lustrous Orb via the special Arceus event in the Shinto Ruins (Ruins of Alph).

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2

After the main storyline, after several other missions, you will meet Lapras on the beach and ask him about Spacial Rift. He says he doesn't know anything about it, so you go back to your camp. The next day, you meet Palkia and he takes you to the spacial rift. After this, when you save, you are trapped here until you can defeat Palkia at the end of the dungeon. Once defeated, Palkia gets entombed into a nightmare where you see that the distortion in space is because of Darkrai (much to Palkia's confusion). When you finally defeat Darkrai, Palkia appears just as Darkrai attempts to step into the Dimension Hole. Palkia then finishes Darkrai with Spacial Rend.

Appearance

Palkia's appearance is similar to Dialga's, but with two large wings. Despite this, Palkia still can't learn Fly. It has plates on its shoulder area, where two pink pearls lie on each side. Palkia has a powerful tail and a long neck.
