How to Get Palkia

Choose Pearl Clan in the Main Story

Hisui Region Clans
Diamond Clan	Pearl Clan

Near the end of the game, you'll get a choice between the two clans of the Region: the Diamond Clan and Pearl Clan. Your choice between the two clans will dictate which Pokemon you'll be facing as the Final Boss.

By choosing the Pearl Clan, you will fight alongside Palkia and face both the Origin and Standard Form of Dialga, a legendary Steel and Dragon type Pokemon.

Should You Choose Adaman or Irida? Diamond or Pearl Clan Choice

Palkia vs Origin Palkia

Differences Between Palkia and Origin Palkia

	Palkia	Palkia (Origin Forme)
Spacial Rend	Power: 90 Accuracy: 95	Power: 80 Accuracy: 85
Base Attack Stat	120	100
Base Speed Stat	100	120

Origin Palkia is recommended for a faster Special Attacker

Origin Palkia gains a +20 in Speed while in Origin Forme. This can help it get an extra hit or two that it wouldn't usually have, making it useful throughout your adventure.

Keep in mind that Spacial Rend gets weaker and less accurate when Palkia is in its Origin Forme, which may be troublesome while you're trying to complete Palkia's research tasks. Stick with standard Palkia while you complete its research tasks!
