Read more ↓Giratina, a Ghost/Dragon-type legendary Pokémon, was introduced in Generation IV as part of the Sinnoh region. Known as the Renegade Pokémon, it is said to reside in a world on the reverse side of ours, the Distortion World, where the laws of physics are distorted and time and space are unstable. This dimension was created as a punishment for its violent nature. In the games, Giratina is often encountered in its Altered Forme, as depicted on this card, but it can transform into its Origin Forme when in the Distortion World or holding a Griseous Orb. Its diet is unknown, but its behavior is characterized by its territoriality and immense power, capable of tearing holes in dimensions. Giratina plays a significant role in the lore of the Sinnoh region alongside Dialga and Palkia, forming the creation trio. Its type combination gives it unique matchups, being weak to Ghost, Ice, Dragon, Dark, and Fairy types, while resisting Poison, Bug, Fire, Water, Grass, and Electric types, and being immune to Normal and Fighting attacks in the main series games. Its imposing design and lore have made it a fan favorite, often symbolizing chaos and the unknown.
