Palkia-O is better than Wake, but takes up a restricted slot. Also in single restricted it is outclassed by Miraidon, Calyrex-S, Kyogre. Even Dialga-O is better for Trick Room since its slower, bulkier and has a much better matchup vs Zacian-C and Flutter Mane.

This is a good write-up. There was one thing I was a bit unclear about. You mention that palkia-o is better than palkia-a in the 2 shield, and compare draco vs spacial palkia-o in the 1 and 0 shield, but I don't see a mention of how draco vs spacial palkia-o perform in the 2 shield.

Feb 28, 2022 · Is Palkia and Dialga with Psyche Up, paired with Geomancy Power Herb Xerneas. If you wanna take these two to pvp, its arguable that their need to hold items to retain origin forms, can very much limit your strategy. The best thing to do is not rely too much on a hyper offensive dialga, and run Palkia as a Thunder using rain counter in Sun teams.

Sep 4, 2023 · Then you can use Origin Forme Palkia’s vstar move to bring some of those energy back, supercharging Chien-Pao again so it can take another knockout. The main downside to this deck is if your opponent uses boss’s orders and takes out Baxcalibur, it will become more difficult to power up Chien-Pao enough to take knockouts on strong Pokémon

Mar 19, 2022 · And in Palkia'a case specifically, it just got absolutely shafted in terms of favoritism by everyone at GF/TPC. Weaker typing, weaker shiny variant, crapped on in M10 by Dialga and also outshined too in M12, absolutely no significant role in PMD, no Pokemon Conquest appearace, weaker signature move, susceptible to fairies.

Altered: 19-17-2, average 499.87 (gains Dialga-A and Dialga-O, loses Garchomp, Mamoswine, Palkia-O, Reshiram, Ursaluna) Overall, Dialga-O results with DM are only very slightly worse than with RoT. This makes sense -- DM and RoT are the same except for the debuff, but the debuff won't come into play very often because the nuke itself isn't used ...

Yes and no. You're locked into the cover art legendary fight as part of the story. So the first time you encounter Dialga/Palkia you need to either catch it/kill it to leave that area and continue playing. So you'll have to shiny hunt it there (its not confirmed if you faint it the one that respawns post game can be shiny hunted).

Palkia is mostly used as energy acceleration in Chien Pao these days, but isn’t seen much anymore because Miraidon and now Iron Hands are everywhere. Not to mention that capping out at 260 doesn’t really cut it when most ex’s far exceed that and it needs Choice Belt to KO Giratina & Lugia Vstar, and that’s if both benches are full which ...

Mar 19, 2022 · Finally there's Palkia's coverage which really gives it a cool niche over Kyogre. Life orb max quake is a guaranteed ohko onto Zacian, which means play rough Zacian has to be really careful of just dying immediately if the Palkia has trick room set up or if the Palkia is in tailwind.

My Palkia ratio. I rarely get excellent throws on Palkia, on the odd occasion I get great, so long as the circle is small and throw curve balls at him you'll get him eventually, even got a couple of weather boosted ones. My baby account (lvl 24) caught 3 out of 5 raids even with a ball disadvantage (usually getting 6-9 chances to catch it).
