Palkia (パルキア, Palkia) is a fictional creature from the Pokémon series.

Origin

Palkia is a Water/Dragon-type Legendary Pokémon and the version mascot of Pokémon Pearl. It has the ability to control and distort space, and it is treated as a deity in Sinnoh's lore. In Pokémon Pearl, Team Galactic attempts to use its power to recreate the universe with Cyrus as a ruler. After defeating Cyrus at Spear Pillar, the player has a chance to battle and catch Palkia.

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

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Palkia on Spear Pillar in Brawl.

Palkia appears as a stage hazard on the Spear Pillar stage. Palkia will always appear whenever Spear Pillar has a purple hue. It can use several abilities:

  • Tilting the screen by a random amount (between 10 and 30 degrees) to the left or right.
  • 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.

Trophy information

Palkia's trophy can be obtained in both versions. In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U it is part of the Legend of Pokémon Diamond & Pokémon Pearl Trophy Box.

North America 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 fighters will become flipped as well.
Europe 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, it also flips the left and right controls!
