Read more ↓Giratina is a legendary Ghost/Dragon-type Pokémon, known as the Renegade Pokémon. It was first introduced in Generation IV as one of the three members of the Creation Trio, alongside Dialga and Palkia, representing antimatter. Giratina inhabits the Distortion World, a dimension opposite to the real world, where gravity and other physical laws are distorted. Its two forms, Altered Forme and Origin Forme, reflect its ability to adapt to different environments; the Altered Forme is seen in the Pokémon world, while the Origin Forme is its natural state in the Distortion World. In the games, Giratina plays a central role in Pokémon Platinum, where its dimension-bending powers are key to the storyline. It is often depicted as a powerful and solitary creature, banished for its violence, yet silently observing the world it was cast out from. Its unique typing gives it resistances to Poison, Bug, Fire, Water, Grass, and Electric, and immunity to Normal and Fighting attacks, but a double weakness to Dragon and Ghost moves. Giratina's imposing design and lore have made it a fan favorite and a significant figure in the Pokémon universe, symbolizing chaos and the unknown.
