Welcome, Trainers!
Palkia is a Sinnoh Legendary Pokémon said to govern the distortions of space. It is considered a deity in Sinnoh-region mythology, and a half-decent Pokémon to have in your roster in general.
Palkia is a 5-star raid and will be available in Pokémon GO for the Pokemon GO Tour: Sinnoh - Global eventFebruary 24-25 from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm local time both days.It will also be available at thePokémon GO Tour: Sinnoh - Los Angeles event, starting Saturday, February 17 at 12:00 pm EST and ending at Saturday, February 17 at 8:00 pm EST,but only on site. It is unclear whether you’re able to remote raid in to the Los Angeles raids.
Pokémon Go: Dialga Raid Guide
Dialga is a 5-star raid that will be in the docket for the Pokemon GO Tour: Sinnoh - Global event February 24-25 from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm local time.
Just as withDialga, Palkia will be released alongside its Origin Forme. We can assume that the Origin Forme of Palkia will be a beefed up version with higher stats and CP.
You can catch Palkia at the followingCP ranges:
Palkia will be released in both normal and shiny variations, as well as its Origin Forme. Here is what it looks like:
Palkia is aWater- and Dragon-typePokémon, which gives it weakness to Dragon- and Fairy-type moves. It is resistant toSteel-, Fire-, and Water-typemoves, so Palkia will be a little easier to manage thanDialgawill be with its laundry list of resistances.
Due to its typing, Palkia is boosted by Rain and Windy weather conditions. If you catch one during these weather conditions, it will be a higher level catch. However, given that these conditions also come with actual risks to your person, be wise when you decide to go out or not. It may be worth it to stay in and remote raid instead.
Palkia will be pretty tanky, and it has few weaknesses to work with. If you have a high-level team and high-level Trainer friends, you should take these raids on with at least3 Trainers. This is a nice number for tackling these raids quickly and efficiently. If your counters are not high-level and your friends also do not have great counters, consider taking6-7 Trainersalong instead. Remember, take advantage of the buffs you get from Party Play! It’s free damage, if you’re all together anyway.
Recommended Party
Unlike its Temporal counterpart, Palkia has most of the typical weaknesses that the Dragon type is known for with the exception of Ice. Thankfully, this gives us a bunch of powerfulDragon and Fairytype Pokémon to work with, and hopefully that translates to easier raid clears.
As ever, if you have Shadow variations of the Pokémon listed below, they will be better picks over their normal counterparts.Shadow Pokémon do more damagethan their regular counterparts (even with mediocre IVs), so consider taking them for this raid for the extra damage.
