Palkia (Japanese: パルキア Palkia) is a Water/Dragon-type Legendary Pokémon.
Palkia is the version mascot of Pokémon Pearl, appearing on the boxart.
Palkia's signature move is Spacial Rend.
Biology
Physiology
Palkia looks dinosaur-like similar to Dialga, though it seems to be based off of a therapod as it stands upright. Although it possesses wings, it does not possess the ability to fly more than a couple feet off the ground. It has plates on its shoulder area, where two pink pearls reside. Palkia has a long neck and a powerful tail.
Gender differences
Palkia is genderless.
Special abilities
Palkia has the ability to warp space. In the Pearl version of the game, it is mentioned on the statue in Eterna City that it can create alternate realities.
Although it is not an ability, it should be noted that, because of Palkia's type, its only weakness is the dragon type.
Palkia is the only Pokémon that can utilize the Lustrous Orb.
Palkia is the only Pokémon capable of learning Spacial Rend naturally.
Behavior
Like Dialga, Palkia lives in a different dimension, making its behavior nearly impossible to study.
Habitat
Legends say that it lives "in the gaps of space which are aligned in parallel."

This Palkia will appear again in the eleventh movie. However, its exact role in the movie has yet to be confirmed.
A silhouette of Palkia appeared in All Dressed up with Somewhere to Go.
Palkia's statue appears with its silhouette in A Secret Sphere of Influence!

Other appearances
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Palkia occasionally appears on the Spear Pillar stage as one of three Pokémon that controls it. Unlike Dialga and Cresselia, it'll use its powers to distort the stage however possible. Some examples include tilting the stage, turning the stage completely upside down and reversing the screen itself (The last two will cause the movement controls to be reversed temporarily). It'll often shoot beams in the cave below, dealing a lot of damage to the players that get caught in the blast.
