Giratina's Origin Forme was officially revealed in early February of 2008.

Giratina is able to travel through and control dimensions besides those of time and space. When in its Origin Forme, it is able to pass through dimensions at will, however, it will turn back to its Altered Forme due to the gravity change from the [[Reverse World]]. It does so by emitting a whirlwind from its mouth which creates a portal.

It also seems to have a connection to reflective objects, such as mirrors and pools of water. Reflections embody the concept of the Reverse World.

As to be expected with other {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, Giratina is capable of using Ghost, {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Psychic}} and {{t|Electric}} attacks. Unlike other {{t|Dragon}} Pokémon, Giratina lacks the ability to wield {{t|Ice}}- and {{type|Fire}} attacks (save for {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} and {{m|Icy Wind}}, which most Ghost types learn anyway). Giratina is one out of seven Pokémon that is capable of using {{m|Aura Sphere}}. Since Giratina is a "true" Dragon Pokémon, it is also capable of using {{m|Draco Meteor}}.

In Platinum, Giratina can transform to its Origin Forme by equipping the Griseous Orb. If the orb is unequipped in battle, it goes back to Altered Forme. The Origin Forme has higher offensive stats while the Altered Forme has higher defenses. Since Giratina's Origin Forme (and the Griseous Orb, for that matter) is exclusive to Platinum, Black and White, or HeartGold and SoulSilver via event, when it is traded to Diamond or Pearl it will revert back to its Altered Forme, and the Griseous Orb it was holding goes back into the player's Bag.

{{mov|Giratina}} made its debut in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. In the movie, Giratina ambushes and drags {{mov|Dialga}} into the [[Reverse World]] in order to exact revenge against the Temporal Pokémon for causing damage to its home during its fight with {{mov|Palkia}} [[M10|some time before]]. [[Zero]] also attempts to copy Giratina's powers in order to take control over the Reverse World. Throughout the movie, Giratina takes on its Origin Forme whenever it is in the Reverse World, and its Altered Forme whenever it is in the real world.
