Pokémon Go: Palkia Will Be Available in Tomorrow’s Raid Battle

The Pokémon Go Team has just announced the Water- and Dragon-type Spatial Pokémon, Palkia, will join Raid Battles across the world from January 29 at 1:00 p.m. PST to February 28 at 1:00 p.m. PST.

With the ability to warp the very fabric of space and enough power to take on Giratina, Palkia is a Pokémon that shouldn’t be underestimated. Be sure to assemble a team that includes Dragon- and Fairy-type Pokémon to take down this Legendary Pokémon before its special attacks overwhelm your team!

The exclusive legendary Pokémon from Pokémon Pearl, which makes up half of the fourth-generation pair of games, is the latest legendary to make its Pokémon Go debut. Dialga, the legendary star of counterpart Pokémon Diamond, has yet to appear.

Both Diamond and Pearl are set in the Sinnoh region, where Palkia drops in from the alternate dimension it lives in. Where Palkia can manipulate spatial dimensions, Dialga can control time. (Pokémon Diamond and Pearl get real weird, y’all.)

I’m not sure how those abilities will play out in Pokémon Go, but we have the whole next month to find out. Most recently, a Hoenn region-themed in-game event wrapped, putting the spotlight on the generation of games just prior to Pearl and Diamond.
