Palkia

Details Clubs Pictures Top > Characters > Palkia Palkia (パルキア)Palkia is a light-purple, theropod-like Pokémon with stripes and markings of a darker shade and gray underarms and waist. It has round purple-striped plates on its shoulder area, where two pink pearl-like crystals lie encrusted with a gray rim encircling them, and fin-like wings on its back. Palkia's arms have extended formations resembling gauntlets and a purple band around each wrist. Palkia has a long neck that is normally bent, a pointed white crest on the top of its head that extends to its wings, two strong horn-like tusks on the sides of its jaw, and a powerful tail. It has faint cracks along its legs and tail. According to the myths and legends of the Hisui/Sinnoh region, in the beginning of existence, the Mythical Pokémon Arceus created eggs in which the Pokémon of space–Palkia, the Pokémon of time–Dialga, and the Pokémon of antimatter–Giratina, hatched from, all three in their Origin Formes. Arceus also created the lake guardians and gave them the mission of calming down Dialga or Palkia whenever they were enraged. After the Pokémon universe was created, Palkia retreated into its own dimension, where it has lived ever since. It was revered and feared as a deity in the past, being worshiped by the Pearl Clan, who mistook it for Arceus and referred to it as "almighty Sinnoh". Palkia is capable of speaking human language via telepathy, as seen when it communicates through the leader of the Pearl Clan, Irida. Palkia and Dialga may be also thrown into a frenzy by powerful space-time distortions created by Giratina. They can control and spread said distortions, resulting in the generation of alpha Pokémon and causing noble Pokémon to become frenzied through lightning bolts that come out of them. Palkia has power over space: it can warp space and travel to faraway places, as well as alternate dimensions and parallel timelines. Additionally, it is capable of rending its targets along with the space around it. It even has the power to destroy and create an entire universe, either by itself or with Dialga's aid. As seen in Pokémon Journeys: The Series, Palkia can open and close dimensional portals to alternate universes. It is said that the birth of Palkia was what caused the walls of the world to disappear, creating a sky that spans for infinity, and that space becomes more stable with its every breath. Palkia usually travels by levitating. Since it primarily resides in a different dimension, its behavior is nearly impossible to study. In the anime, Palkia has been shown to be very protective of its home, and as a result, tends to have violent conflicts with Dialga when their dimensions intersect. Palkia is capable of travelling by creating a large yellow sphere from its two pearls, then using it to fly very fast, as seen in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon. Forms Palkia can change between its standard form and its Origin Forme. In its Origin Forme, which is said to be its true form, Palkia's appearance changes drastically from its other theropod-like Forme, taking on a centaur-dragon hybrid look while resembling its creator, Arceus. The main body becomes larger and grayish pink, with light gray accents on the tips of its wings and legs, along with various dark purple accents. Its shoulder plates are larger and seem to be made of the same pearl-like crystals as the ones embedded at the center, with six rectangular dark purple protrusions surrounding them. Its lower half becomes bigger and resembles that of a horse. Palkia's arms become its forelegs, with hooves, protrusions on the knees, and rectangular spikes on its upper forelegs akin to its other Forme's arms. The back legs gain hooves as well, with heels on the back of the foot, and they are bent in such a way that allows Palkia to stand up on its two back legs. The tail becomes shorter and splits into five. On the center of Palkia's abdomen is a structure consisting of two dark purple circular shapes connected to two circles of the same color, resembling Arceus's cross-like wheel. Palkia's neck and markings on its lower body become shorter. The pointed crest on its neck becomes taller and longer. Its lower jaw gets a plate-like mask covering it, with multiple spikes all over it: one at the front, a pair extending towards the bottom of the jaw, and two pairs on either side extending towards the back. The plate-like mask can be lowered to reveal its mouth when roaring or using attacks. Palkia is at its full power when in its Origin Forme, and is supposedly permanently in this state while in its home dimension, which is said to be in shreds as if it had been torn to ribbons. It has the power to warp, destroy, and create space itself. It is believed that the reason why Palkia's Origin Forme resembles Arceus is to strategically gain its power. Palkia's transformation into its Origin Forme can be triggered using the Lustrous Globe or through a radiant light. Origin Forme Palkia can walk on all fours and fly, and is capable of unleashing meteors and shockwaves. Its Spacial Rend can even be charged into a more powerful version of itself while in Origin Forme, as seen in its boss battle in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. The crystals and purple accents on Palkia's body glow brightly when it uses its powers. (Source: Bulbapedia) Voice ActorsNo voice actors have been added to this character.
