Giratina (Japanese: ギラティナ Giratina) is a Legendary Pokémon.
Giratina's signature move is Shadow Force.
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. The wings seem oddly out of place, due to the fact that Giratina seems far too heavy to fly effectively. Finally, Giratina's head and eyes resemble those of Dialga and Palkia, making many have a theory that it is related to the two. Giratina's shiny form is almost a perfect negative of the original.
Gender differences
Giratina is genderless.
Special abilities
As to be expected with other Ghost-typed Pokémon, Giratina is capable of using Ghost, Dark, Psychic and Electrical attacks. Unlike other Dragon Pokémon, Giratina lacks the ability to wield Ice and Fire-type attacks (save for Will-O-Wisp). Giratina is one out of seven Pokémon that is capable using Aura Sphere. Giratina's signature move is Shadow Force. Since Giratina is a "true" Dragon Pokémon, it is also capable of using Draco Meteor.
Behavior
Habitat
Giratina is a very rare (one-of-a-kind) Pokémon due to its "Legendary" Status. Legends claim that Giratina show up at cemeteries and that this Pokémon supposedly lives in the Spirit World.
