One thing which makes {{DL|Form differences|Giratina|Origin Forme}} Giratina a difficult opponent is that in this form, it specializes more in offense over defense. If you have a Pokémon with {{m|Thunder Wave}} or {{m|Stun Spore}}, use that right away to {{Status|Paralysis|paralyze}} Giratina and cut its Speed. Avoid or minimize use of {{t|Ice}}-, {{t|Ghost}}-, {{t|Dragon}}- or {{type|Dark}} moves as they carry the risk of knocking it out. After reducing its HP bar to the red zone, a good tactic is to bring out a Steel-type with good defenses to withstand its attacks, since Steel-types resist Rock, Ghost, and Dragon-type moves. The best Pokémon for this is {{p|Bastiodon}} with its exceptional defensive stats, though {{p|Probopass}} or {{p|Bronzong}} also work for this. | One thing which makes {{DL|Form differences|Giratina|Origin Forme}} Giratina a difficult opponent is that in this form, it specializes more in offense over defense.

Unlike in the previous Pokémon games, you do not have to catch Giratina right away, since [[Legendary Pokémon|legendaries]] that you failed to catch will reappear each time you defeat the [[Elite Four]] and [[Pokémon Champion]] during your playthrough of this game. If Giratina’s attacks are too much for you to deal with right now, just defeat it. You can face it later in [[Turnback Cave]] in its {{DL|Form differences|Giratina|Altered Forme}}, which is more defense-oriented stat-wise. Also, if you run out of Poké Balls or so many turns of battle elapse that Giratina is forced {{m|Struggle}}, it would also be okay to knock it out and try again later on. | Unlike in the previous Pokémon games, you do not have to catch Giratina right away, since [[Legendary Pokémon|legendaries]] that you failed to catch will reappear each time you defeat the [[Elite Four]] and [[Pokémon Champion]] during your playthrough of this game.

After the battle, Cynthia is happy that Giratina understood your intentions and | After the battle, Cynthia is happy that Giratina understood your intentions and will point out a nearby portal that will take you back to your world. Cyrus then appears and is surprised that Giratina was defeated or captured and that his perfect world will never be complete. After he and Cynthia express their different views about the world, Cyrus leaves, convinced they will never understand each other. Now enter the portal, which will take you to [[Sendoff Spring]], the fourth lake of [[Sinnoh]]. | ||
