Giratina (Pokemon)

Giratina is a Legendary Ghost/Dragon-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV. Known as the “Renegade Pokémon,” it plays a major role in the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl lore, connected to the Distortion World, a parallel dimension. Giratina has two forms: 1. Altered Forme (default when in the regular world): It is quadrupedal, with six legs and black wings tipped with red claws. This form is known for its defensive stats. • Height: 4.5 m (14’09”) • Weight: 750 kg (1653.5 lbs) 2. Origin Forme (activated in the Distortion World or when holding a Griseous Orb): Giratina becomes serpentine and more offensively oriented. • Height: 6.9 m (22’08”) • Weight: 650 kg (1433.0 lbs) Pokédex Entry: • Species: Renegade Pokémon • Pokédex Number: #487 • Abilities: • Levitate (Origin Forme), providing immunity to Ground-type moves. • Pressure (Altered Forme), which makes opponents use more PP per move. Lore: Giratina was banished to the Distortion World due to its violent nature. This alternate dimension distorts space and reality, which fits Giratina’s theme as a counterpart to Dialga and Palkia, the rulers of time and space. Typing: • Ghost/Dragon: Giratina is resistant to Electric, Water, Grass, Poison, and Bug-type moves. It is weak to Ice, Dragon, Fairy, Ghost, and Dark-type moves. Giratina’s dual-typing, forms, and lore make it a fan favorite and a powerful Pokémon in both competitive battling and story-driven games.
