Read more ↓Giratina is a legendary Dragon/Ghost-type Pokémon, first introduced in Generation IV as one of the three members of the Creation Trio, alongside Dialga and Palkia. It is said to be banished to the Distortion World for its violence, where it silently observes the old world. This dimension, a parallel universe where the laws of physics are distorted, is Giratina's natural habitat. Giratina has two forms: Altered Forme, its appearance in the regular Pokémon world, and Origin Forme, its true appearance in the Distortion World. Its diet is largely unknown, but its behavior suggests a solitary and powerful entity, capable of manipulating antimatter. In the games, Giratina plays a central role in Pokémon Platinum, where players must journey into the Distortion World to confront it. In the anime, it has appeared in several movies, notably "Giratina and the Sky Warrior," further cementing its menacing yet majestic presence. Its unique typing gives it resistances against common types like Fire, Water, Grass, and Electric, but also significant weaknesses to Dragon, Ghost, Ice, and Dark. Giratina's cultural significance lies in its depiction as a powerful, ancient deity, representing the darker, more chaotic aspects of the Pokémon universe.
