Giratina (Japanese: ギラティナ Giratina) is a Legendary Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Giratina is a large, gray, centipede-like creature with six short legs. Its legs have golden claws and a gold band on them. It has a tail and a thick black stripe running vertically along the front of its body. There is a series of red horizontal stripes running across the large black one. Three golden half-rings circle the back half of Giratina's neck at the same points that three of the red stripes are at on its front, resembling a ribcage. On its back are two large, black wings that are decorated with red, conical objects. Finally, Giratina's head and eyes resemble those of Dialga and Palkia, making many have a theory that it is related to the two.
Gender differences
Giratina is genderless.
Special abilities
Giratina's signature attack is Shadow Force. Shadow Force is a very powerful move that allows Giratina to vanish instantly and on the second turn Giratina attacks. This move hits even when the enemy is using Protect and Detect. Shadow Force is a Ghost-type attack.
Behavior
Habitat
Giratina is a very rare (probably one-of-a-kind) Pokémon due to its "Legendary" Status. Legends claim that Giratina show up at cemetaries and that this Pokémon supposedly lives in the Spirit World.
