Giratina is a large gray draconic Pokémon with gold half rings circling the back of its neck. Its head has a gold crown-like object surrounding it with two large horns pointing sideways. A thick black stripe runs vertically along the front with red horizontal stripes. In its Altered Forme, it has two large black ghostly wings with red tips that can resemble claws. These wings can change shape as if it's a liquid or gas. Its six legs are thick and clawed.

These wings can change shape as if it's a liquid or gas. Its six legs are thick and clawed.


In its Origin Forme, it takes on a serpentine look, with six black ghostly streamers on its back with red spikes at the tips. Its legs are reduced to spikes, and four additional golden spikes appear near the edge of its tail. While in Origin Forme, the three gold half-rings can grip objects. The horns on its head are now facing the back, and the black vertical stripe is broken into pieces and runs all the way down its body. It can only be in its Origin Forme when in its home, the [[Reverse World]], or when holding a {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Griseous Orb}}.

Giratina first appeared in the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}, where it used its tentacles to drag {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and [[Cyrus]] into the [[Distortion World]].


Giratina serves as the main antagonist in the {{chap|Platinum}}. It had been chasing [[Paka and Uji]] endlessly in the Distortion World until it had taken Dialga, Palkia and Cyrus hostage. It then landed in the [[Pokémon world]] location of [[Eterna City]] and caused a rampage. Giratina concluded the rampage by targeting {{adv|Pearl}} with its signature {{m|Shadow Force}}, although {{adv|Diamond}} took the hit for him. [[Reg]] responded to its Trainer's loss by helping {{p|Rotom}} change between its Formes to attack Giratina. Giratina was forced to retreat, and [[Charon]] followed it into the Distortion World. Upon arrival, Giratina was challenged by [[Volkner]] and [[Flint]], but quickly ended the resistance of their {{p|Electivire}} and {{p|Magmortar}}.

Eventually, Giratina fought Dialga, Palkia and [[Reg]] all at once inside the Distortion World. After Charon's flying craft was destroyed, he decided to retreat by commanding Giratina to fly him out of the Distortion World. However, Charon and Giratina were impeded by a {{m|Draco Meteor}} from [[Cynthia]]'s {{p|Garchomp}} as soon as they arrived back in the Pokémon world. After Charon's arrest by [[Looker]], Giratina rose again and tried to ambush {{adv|Platinum}} but Volkner's Electivire and Flint's Magmortar finished it off. Giratina was forced to return to the Distortion World on Dialga and Palkia's command.
