Read more ↓Giratina is a legendary Ghost/Dragon-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV. Known as the Renegade Pokémon, it is said to reside in the Distortion World, a dimension opposite to the real 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 is deeply intertwined with Arceus and Dialga and Palkia, as it was banished for its violence, making it a significant figure in the Sinnoh region's creation mythos. In the games, Giratina is a powerful opponent, often found in post-game areas, and played a central role in Pokémon Platinum. In the anime, it frequently appears in movies, showcasing its immense power and connection to its unique dimension. Its design, characterized by its six ghostly legs and menacing eyes, makes it a fan favorite, embodying a sense of mystery and raw power. Giratina's unique typing gives it interesting matchups, being weak to Ghost, Ice, Dragon, Dark, and Fairy, while resisting Poison, Bug, Fire, Water, Grass, and Electric, and being immune to Normal and Fighting attacks.
