Seeking the Remaining Plates Tips and Strategies

Use Fairy, Ice, or Ground Type Moves

Giratina and Volo's team are weak to Fairy-, Ice-, and Ground-type moves. You can make the battle easier by bringing Pokemon that have access to such moves.

Make sure to also add moves that can heal your Pokemon like Draining Kiss and moves that can lower your opponent's stats.

How to Beat Giratina and Volo

Best Pokemon to Use for the Three Consecutive Battles

Pokemon	Details
Garchomp	Location: Alabaster Icelands Recommended move: Aqua Tail, Iron Tail
Cresselia	Location: The Plate of Moonview Arena Mission Recommended moves: Lunar Blessing, Moonblast
Dialga	Location: Atop Mount Coronet Mission or post-game unlock Recommended move: Iron Tail
Palkia	Location: Atop Mount Coronet Mission or post-game unlock Recommended moves: Aqua Tail, Hydro Pump
Blissey	Location: Obsidian Fieldlands Recommended move: Draining Kiss
Clefable	Location: Fabled Spring, Coronet Highlands Recommended move: Moonblast

Avoid Using Pokemon Weak to Dragon, Fighting, or Ground-type Moves

Giratina will use Earth Power and Dragon Sphere quite a few times, making it difficult to keep your Pokemon from fainting if they're weak to these types of moves!

Regardless of weaknesses and resistances, these moves can hurt your chances by lowering your stats and giving Giratina's attack a better chance for a critical.

If you chose Cyndaquil as a starter, you may have difficulties against Giratina's Earth Power. Make sure to have a well-balanced team that will cover each of your Pokemon's weaknesses.

Lower Giratina's Stats

It is recommended that you lower Giratina's stats to improve your chances of winning. Many Fairy Type moves can lower both defensive and offensive stats, making it harder for Giratina to take you down quickly.

You will need to do this as the fight will be prolonged when Giratina's second form enters the battlefield. Giratina (Origin Forme) has higher Attack and Special Attack stats so be wary!

Take Advantage of Cresselia's Moves

Cresselia's move, Lunar Blessing allows the Pokemon to heal itself while also increasing its evasion. Doing this can increase the chances of Giratina missing its attacks, thus preventing your party to get wiped out by its strong moves.

It is possible to defeat Giratina by using Cresselia alone by switching between the defensive move Lunar Blessing and its offensive move Moonblast.

After defeating Giratina's Altered Forme, it will change to its Origin Forme and will be significantly stronger. However, the same steps still apply and continue using Fairy type moves to take the Pokemon down.

Use Moves in Strong Style

It is highly recommended to take down Volo's team one by one with a single strike. Otherwise, he will use a Full Restore to heal his Pokemon and prolong the fight.

In order to do this, make sure that your Pokemon has mastered its strongest moves, then attack the opposing Pokemon using Strong Style!

Agile and Strong Styles

Bring Lots of Max Revives and Full Restores

Full Restore

Max Revive

This series of battles is undeniably tough and it's likely that some of your Pokemon will faint. Because of this, we recommend bringing plenty of Max Revives and Full Restores to get your Pokemon back in the game again after fainting or losing some of its health.

As you're about to beat Volo, make sure to heal your Pokemon one by one since beating him will start the fight with Giratina right away.
