Palkia moves
Pokemon that are not starters begin with the signature move of their first type, so Palkia starts every run with Water Gun: a piercing jet. Reliable at any range.
The level-up cards can then offer 15 different moves: the 8 Normal moves that every Pokemon shares plus 7 moves of its own types. Moves level up to level 5 and can evolve once you also take the stat card they need, which is covered in the move evolution guide. The permanent Repertoire upgrade adds a second, random starting move; see the upgrades guide.
- Normal moves: Tackle, Quick Attack, Swords Dance, Agility, Harden, Body Slam, Hyper Voice, Substitute
- Water moves: Water Gun, Bubble, Hydro Pump, Aqua Ring, Bubble Beam
- Dragon moves: Dragon Rage, Dragon Dance
Weaknesses and resistances
Palkia takes extra damage from Dragon (1.6x) and Fairy (1.6x). It resists Fire (0.36x), Water (0.36x), and Steel (0.6x). The remaining 13 of 18 types deal normal damage. The chart is softer than the main games: a super-effective hit is x1.6, a resisted hit x0.6 and an immunity x0.3, and two types multiply with each other inside the range 0.3 to 2.4. See the type chart guide for every matchup.
The multipliers apply to the damage you take, and enemies attack with the first type listed for them, so the dangerous enemies for Palkia are the ones whose first type is Dragon or Fairy. Boss shots carry their first type too. Weather does not change these numbers, but it changes your own damage; see the weather guide. There is no same-type bonus, so Water or Dragon moves do not hit harder just because Palkia shares the type.
How to get Palkia
Palkia is part of the Sinnoh banner. A single pull first picks a rarity (1.5% for Legendary) and then picks one of the 15 Legendary Pokemon on that banner at random, so one pull gives Palkia a 0.1% chance. Every banner has its own pity counter: the 70th pull without a 5-star is always a 5-star, which works out to about 43.5 pulls per 5-star and roughly 653 pulls to land this particular one.
A pull costs one ticket and ten pulls cost ten tickets or one x10 ticket. Tickets are earned in runs, from missions and from chests and are never sold for money. A duplicate turns into 300 coins, or 900 if it is the shiny version. The full odds and the pity rule are in the gacha guide.
Shiny Palkia exists in this game. One pull in a hundred is a shiny, and wild enemies are shiny one time in 4096. Read the shiny guide for the details.
Palkia as an enemy
Palkia never shows up as a regular enemy because 5-star Pokemon are left out of the enemy cast.
As a legendary it can also be the opponent in a rift. The game picks a rift legendary at random and favors the ones you have not beaten yet, then builds an arena from one of its types: Sea Grotto (Water) or Dragon Sanctuary (Dragon). Its attack set is a ground slam, a leap onto your position, a fan of beams, and a ring of shots. See the rifts guide and the legendaries guide.
