'''Giratina''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギラティナ''' ''Giratina'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Dragon}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].


While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] to or from any other Pokémon, it has a [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Giratina|second forme]] activated by giving Giratina a [[Griseous Orb]] to hold, or while it is in its home, the [[Distortion World]]. Its original forme, '''Altered Forme''', will then become '''Origin Forme'''.

Its original forme, '''Altered Forme''', will then become '''Origin Forme'''.


Giratina's Origin Forme was officially revealed in early February 2008.
Giratina's Origin Forme was officially revealed in early February 2008.
Line 66: Line 66:
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. Giratina can only be in its Origin Forme when in its home, the Distortion World, or when holding a [[Griseous Orb]].

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 Distortion World. Giratina is a highly aggressive and territorial Pokémon that is protective of its home. [[Sinnoh myths|Legends]] claim that Giratina appears in cemeteries and that it supposedly lives in a world on the reverse side. It was said to be banished for violence. Giratina is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Shadow Force}}.

It was said to be banished for "violence", though in the anime it is shown to possess a gentle side as well. Giratina is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Shadow Force}}.

* In [[Generation IV]] only, when Giratina is in its [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Giratina|Origin Forme]] due to holding the [[Griseous Orb]], it cannot have its [[Ability]] changed by any means (such as {{m|Skill Swap}} or {{m|Worry Seed}}). Giratina's Ability can still be copied (by {{a|Trace}} or {{m|Role Play}}) or suppressed by {{m|Gastro Acid}}. This effect is unrelated with the Ability itself.

===Origin===
===Origin===
Giratina may be based on the biblical figure of the {{wp|Fallen Angels}}, celestial beings that rebelled against God and were excommunicated to Hell. This is analogous to Giratina, due to being a Pokémon created by [[Arceus]] (Pokémon World's God) and excommunicated to another dimension due to its belligerent nature. Nonetheless, it might have drawn inspiration by {{wp|Samael}}, who is the ruler of the 5th Heaven and has grim and destructive duties whilst being member of a heavenly host; both traits allude to Giratina being the ruler of another dimension ([[Reverse World]]) and its threatening visage. Furthermore, both of Giratina's Forms resemble the {{wp|The Beast (Revelation)|Beasts of Revelation}}, with its Altered Form standing for the "Earth Beast", and its Origin Form standing for the "Sea Beast".

Giratina may also be based on Seta, a giant centipede, from the Japanese fairytale, "{{wp|My Lord Bag of Rice}}", which was said to prey on dragon hatchlings and be as large as a mountain.

In its Altered Forme, Giratina's wings may be based on a bat's, and its body has an insect-like, six-legged feature, but its posture is similar to a {{wp|sauropod}}.
