It is the only known Pokémon to reside in the Distortion World, a dimension opposite to the regular world, where the laws of physics are warped. Giratina has two forms: Altered Forme, its standard appearance, and Origin Forme, which it assumes in the Distortion World or when holding a Griseous Orb. Its lore paints it as a banished deity, cast out for its destructive nature. In the games, it plays a crucial role in the Sinnoh region's creation trio alongside Dialga and Palkia. Its unique type combination gives it resistances to several common types but also leaves it vulnerable to others like Ghost, Ice, Dragon, Dark, and Fairy. In the anime, Giratina has appeared in various films and episodes, often depicted as a powerful, enigmatic force. Its design, with six legs, golden armor, and red stripes, evokes a sense of ancient power and otherworldly menace, making it a fan-favorite legendary.
