Read more ↓Galactic HQ is not a Pokémon, but rather a Stadium card representing the headquarters of Team Galactic, the villainous organization from the Sinnoh region. Introduced in the fourth generation of Pokémon games, Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, Team Galactic's primary goal was to create a new world by destroying the current one, often involving legendary Pokémon like Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina. Their leader, Cyrus, was a cold and calculating individual who believed emotions were the root of all evil. The Galactic HQ serves as the central command for their operations, a stark, technologically advanced facility where their plans are hatched and experiments conducted. While not a living creature, the concept of a villainous team's base is a recurring theme in the Pokémon world, providing a narrative backdrop for the player's journey. These headquarters often reflect the team's aesthetic and goals, with Galactic HQ being particularly imposing and futuristic, fitting their ambition to reshape reality.
