This stage is universally [[Banned stage|banned]] in mainstream tournaments due to the frequent and highly disruptive effect of the Pokémon's attacks, especially Palkia's effects which alter the players' controls and activate randomly and suddenly.

Spear Pillar is an area in ''Pokémon Diamond & Pearl'', situated at the top of Mt. Coronet, where the two legendary Pokémon Palkia and Dialga can be found. Team Galactic, the criminal organization of Sinnoh, travel up to Spear Pillar and awaken Dialga/Palkia, bound by a crystalline Red Chain from the Lake Guardians (Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf) in order to destroy the world and create a new universe where the Galactic Boss, Cyrus, is deity and king. The player character travels up to Spear Pillar, where they impede Team Galactic's plan to control the legendary Pokémon by defeating their boss. Upon defeat, Team Galactic retreats and the player has the chance to defeat or capture Dialga/Palkia. High above the Spear Pillar is the Hall of Origin, where the omnipotent legendary Pokémon [[Arceus]] resides.
