Other great Legendary Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus
The other legendary Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus is also impressive, butGiratina,Palkia, andDialgaare the real MVPs. Origin Dialga and Origin Palkia are contenders as well, as there are very minor differences performance-wise, but Dialga and Palkia simply have a more practical application with their higher attack stat.
Giratina (Origin)
Giratina is an attack-heavy Pokémon but can hold its own in a battle as well. Its dual-typing of Ghost and Dragon gives it access to some great moves, like Shadow Force and Dragon Pulse.
Dialga
Dialga’s Steel and Dragon dual-typing gives it a ridiculous amount of resistances and even immunity to Poison-type damage. It has a huge attack and special attack, letting it deal massive blows to opponents in battle.
Palkia
Palkia has slightly less HP than Dialga, but the same great attack capability. It has far fewer resistances, but its Water and Dragon-typing give it access to some pretty great moves like Hydro Pump and Spacial Rend.
