a battle that nearly destroyed Alamos Town. It was then shown in a flashback in Giratina and the Sky
Warrior. Palkia's final movie appearance was in Arceus and the Jewel of Life, where it was shown for the
first time with both the other members of its trio. It joined forces with Dialga and Giratina to fight
against Arceus.
Other
Palkia appeared in The Battle Finale of Legend!, where it and Dialga were summoned by Cyrus on
the Spear Pillar. They were put under his control through the use of the Red Chain and were tasked by
him to open a portal to another dimension, wanting a world of his own. After the Red Chain's destruction
and Cyrus's exit, Palkia and Dialga rampaged, creating a danger for Sinnoh. However, the two were
calmed down and sent away with the help of the lake guardians.
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.

Palkia, along with Dialga, was summoned by Cyrus in the Diamond & Pearl chapter 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 chapter, 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 chapter, 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.

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, however, it will use its powers to distort the
stage in multiple ways. 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 shoots 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 uses Spacial Rend, which flips
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!
