Everything we know about Palkia

According to its official Pokédex page, 'It has the ability to distort space. It is described as a deity in Sinnoh-region mythology.'

These myths set out the fact that Palkia is a member of the creation trio, which also contains Dialga and Giratina. These three Pokémon were created by Arceus to assist it by ruling certain dimensions.

Palkia was given control over space and its Water-typing might be connected to how the volume of water is often used to measure the amount of space in a certain area.

The inspiration for Dialga and Palkia's backstory might have come from the Shinto mythology of Izanami and Izanagi, the goddess of death and god of life, respectively.

Legends say that these two deities were given a spear, called Ame-no-nuhoko (Heavenly jewelled spear) which they used to create Onogoroshima (Onogoro island). On this island they would then create a pillar, where they consummated their relationship, which eventually lead to the creation of the Japanese island chain and many other Shinto deities.

Since both Dialga and Palkia were both created at Spear Pillar in the Sinnoh region, it does appear that, at least in the case of naming, these legends did have an impact on the development of these two Legendary Pokémon.

As of February 2024, Trainers in Pokémon Go can use Origin Forme Dialga to alter space, extending the area of influence around the Trainer to allow for a greater number of spawns.
