'''Palkia''' ({{ja|パルキア|Parukia}}, ''Palkia'') is a creature from the {{uv|Pokémon}} series.

==Origin==
{{pkmn|Palkia}} is a Water/Dragon-type {{iw|bulbapedia|Legendary Pokémon}} and the {{iw|bulbapedia|version mascot}} of ''{{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon Pearl}}'' and its remake ''{{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon Shining Pearl}}''. Palkia is categorized within the Pokédex at #484 as the "Spatial Pokémon". It has the ability to control and distort space, and it is treated as a deity in {{iw|bulbapedia|Sinnoh}}'s lore. Palkia resides in the spatial dimension, a realm parallel to the real world where its every breath stabilizes the space around it. In ''Pokémon Pearl'', {{iw|bulbapedia|Team Galactic}} attempts to use its power to recreate the universe with {{iw|bulbapedia|Cyrus}} as a ruler. After defeating Cyrus at {{iw|bulbapedia|Spear Pillar}}, the player has a chance to battle and catch Palkia. ''{{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon Legends: Arceus}}'', Palkia can transform into its Origin Form using the {{iw|bulbapedia|Lustrous Globe}}.

{{iw|bulbapedia|Spacial Rend|move}} is a special Dragon-type move with 100 base power, 95% accuracy and an increased chance of dealing a critical hit. Spacial Rend is Palkia's {{iw|bulbapedia|signature move}}, and thus Palkia is the only Pokémon able to learn it naturally.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
===As a stage element===
[[File:Palkia Brawl.jpg|thumb|Palkia on Spear Pillar in ''Brawl''.]]
Palkia is one of three Legendary Pokémon that can appear and cause battle effects on the [[Spear Pillar]] stage, alongside [[Dialga]] and [[Cresselia]]. When the stage has a pink tint, Palkia is the Pokémon for the match. Palkia can cause several different effects on the battle:
*Causing an earthquake, breaking either the left, right or middle third of the upper ground.
*Firing a vertical pink Hyper Beam covering a third of the stage, either the left, right or middle.
*Firing a horizontal pink Hyper Beam through the cave area.
*Halving gravity and weight for all fighters.
*Mirroring the screen, such that pressing right causes a character to appear to move to the left.
*Rotating the screen at a 180-degree angle, causing it to appear upside-down.

|desc=A Spatial Pokémon. In the Sinnoh region, this Pokémon has been revered for many generations, much like Dialga. Dialga warps time, but Palkia has control over space. It lives between parallel dimensions and is known for its power, rumored to be able to warp space. It can use Spacial Rend to rip through the very space an enemy resides in, damaging the foe at the same time.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
===As a [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon===
[[File:Smash.4 - Palkia Pokeball.jpg|left|thumb|Palkia using Spacial Rend.]]
[[File:UpsideDownTownAndCity.jpg|thumb|A screen turned upside down.]]
Palkia can appear from Poké Balls and [[Master Ball]]s. When summoned, Palkia uses its signature move {{iw|bulbapedia|Spacial Rend|move}}, temporarily turning the camera upside down. It disappears after a short time, returning the camera to normal. Opponents who touch Palkia take 10% damage and low knockback.

Palkia has a spawn chance of {{Fractions|12|975}} from Poké Balls and {{Fractions|40|690}} from Master Balls. It cannot be summoned on the following stages in a standard versus match (applies to both games and only the base form unless noted otherwise):

===Trophy===
Palkia's trophy can be obtained in both versions. In {{forwiiu}} it is part of the ''Legend of Pokémon Diamond & Pokémon Pearl'' {{h1|Trophy Box|Legend of Pokémon Diamond & Pokémon Pearl}}.
{{Trophy

|desc-ntsc=Stories surround this Legendary Water/Dragon-type Pokémon, saying that it has control over all of space. Its Spacial Rend attack will tear space and flip the screen upside down. When this happens, the directional controls of all the fighters will become flipped as well.
|desc-pal=Stories of this Legendary Pokémon say that Palkia is a god that controls all of space. When it uses its Spacial Rend attack in Super Smash Bros., it causes the screen to flip upside down. If that wasn't confusing enough, the controls in all four directions end up reversed, too!

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
===As a stage element===
[[File:SSBU-Palkia on Spear Pillar.png|thumb|250px|Palkia on Spear Pillar in ''Ultimate''.]]
Palkia reprises its role as a stage hazard on the returning [[Spear Pillar]] stage. Spear Pillar now allows for any of the three Legendary Pokémon to appear each time, rather than being set for the whole match.

===As a Poké Ball Pokémon===
[[File:Palkia Spacial Rend SSBU.png|thumb|left|200px|Palkia using Spacial Rend in ''Ultimate''.]]
Palkia returns as a Poké Ball and Master Ball Pokémon, with the same behavior as ''Smash 4''.

Palkia's Spacial Rend will not be able to flip the screen upside down if a fighter is equipped with a spirit with Screen-Flip Immunity, though it will still remain on stage to damage any opponents who touch it.

Palkia has a spawn chance of {{Fractions|12|1463}} from Poké Balls and {{Fractions|40|842}} from Master Balls. It cannot be summoned on the following stages in a standard versus match (applies only to the base form unless noted otherwise):
<div style="column-width:25em; -moz-column-width:25em; -webkit-column-width:25em;">
*[[3D Land]]

</div>

Palkia cannot be summoned if the following items are active and vice versa:
*Items: [[Boss Galaga]], a third [[Daybreak]] part, a third [[Dragoon]] part, and [[Smash Ball]].
*[[Poké Ball]] Pokémon: [[Togepi]], [[Victini]], and [[Zoroark]].
*Assist Trophies: [[Andross]], [[Arcade Bunny]], [[Ashley]], [[Color TV-Game 15]], [[Devil]], [[Dr. Kawashima]], [[Flies & Hand]], [[Moon]], [[Nightmare]], [[Nikki]], [[Nintendog]], [[Skull Kid]] [[Squid Sisters]], [[Thwomp]], [[Vince]], and [[Yuri Kozukata]].
{{clrl}}

===Spirit===
Palkia also appears as an Ace-class [[primary spirit]].

Palkia's Spirit Battle uses a pink {{SSBU|Mewtwo}} puppet fighter and is fought on [[Spear Pillar]]. Occasionally, the left and right controls reverse, referencing Palkia's Spacial Rend move. Additionally, Palkia is the only one of Spear Pillar's three hazardous Pokémon that will appear on the stage.

==Trivia==
*Palkia is one of three Pokémon to be both a Poké Ball summon and a stage element in the same installment, as it returns as both in ''Ultimate''. [[Chansey]] was the first with this distinction, appearing in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', while [[Electrode]] also returns as both in ''Ultimate''.
**Palkia is also the only Legendary Pokémon with this distinction.
*In at least ''Smash 4'', when a player gets [[Screen KO]]'d while Spacial Rend is active, the player will [http://youtu.be/UQKuhvozxfQ?t=2m14s fall upwards] from the stage's perspective (downwards from the camera's perspective).
*Palkia's roars in ''Brawl'' are a combination of sound effects of the Varactyl from the ''Star Wars'' film franchise and Godzilla roars from the ''Godzilla'' film franchise. A similar case occurs with [[Lunala]] in ''Ultimate'', who uses the cry of Mothra from the ''Godzilla'' franchise.
**Its roars as a Poké Ball Pokémon replace the Godzilla roars with roars of King Ghidorah, who is also from the same franchise.
**Palkia's roar is not heard in the game's Sound Test outside of ''Brawl''.
*During Spacial Rend in ''Smash 4'', the [[magnifying glass]] will not properly show the character's vertical position. Characters falling toward the lower blast line (at the top of the screen) show a magnifying glass at the bottom of the screen and vice versa. This does not occur for the horizontal position, which is properly reflected, unless the upper or lower camera bounds are crossed, in which case the horizontal position fails to be reflected. This results in confusing scenarios where if a character is launched off the upper-right of the stage and then falls to the right of the stage (bottom-left of the screen falling up to the left of the screen), the magnifying glass will appear on the upper-right of the screen and then move to the upper-left of the screen, being incorrect in both places.
