'''Palkia''' ({{ja|パルキア|Parukia}}, ''Palkia'') is a fictional creature from the {{uv|Pokémon}} series.

==Origin==
{{pkmn|Palkia}} is a Water/Dragon-type {{iw|bulbapedia|Legendary Pokémon}} and the {{iw|bulbapedia|version mascot}} of ''{{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon Pearl}}''. Palkia is categorized within the Pokédex at #484 as the "Spatial Pokémon". It has the ability to control and distort space, and it is treated as a deity in {{iw|bulbapedia|Sinnoh}}'s lore. In ''Pokémon Pearl'', {{iw|bulbapedia|Team Galactic}} attempts to use its power to recreate the universe with {{iw|bulbapedia|Cyrus}} as a ruler. After defeating Cyrus at {{iw|bulbapedia|Spear Pillar}}, the player has a chance to battle and catch Palkia.

{{iw|bulbapedia|Spacial Rend|move}} is a special Dragon-type move with 100 base power, 95% accuracy and an increased chance of dealing a critical hit. Spacial Rend is Palkia's {{iw|bulbapedia|signature move}}, and thus Palkia is the only Pokémon able to learn it naturally.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
===As a stage element===
[[File:Palkia Brawl.jpg|thumb|Palkia on Spear Pillar in ''Brawl''.]]
Palkia is one of three Legendary Pokémon that can appear and cause battle effects on the [[Spear Pillar]] stage, alongside [[Dialga]] and [[Cresselia]]. When the stage has a pink tint, Palkia is the Pokémon for the match. Palkia can cause several different effects on the battle:
*Causing an earthquake, breaking either the left, right or middle third of the upper ground.
*Firing a vertical pink Hyper Beam covering a third of the stage, either the left, right or middle.
*Firing a horizontal pink Hyper Beam through the cave area.
*Halving gravity and weight for all fighters.
*Mirroring the screen, such that pressing right causes a character to appear to move to the left.
*Rotating the screen at a 180 degree angle, causing it to appear upside-down.

;Palkia
''A Spatial Pokémon. In the Sinnoh region, this Pokémon has been revered for many generations, much like Dialga. Dialga warps time, but Palkia has control over space. It lives between parallel dimensions and is known for its power, rumored to be able to warp space. It can use Spatial Rend to rip through the very space an enemy resides in, damaging the foe at the same time.

[[File:UpsideDownTownAndCity.jpg|thumb|A stage turned upside down.]]
Palkia can appear from Poké Balls and [[Master Ball]]s. When summoned, Palkia uses its signature move {{iw|bulbapedia|Spacial Rend|move}}, temporarily turning the camera upside down. It disappears after a short time, returning the camera to normal. Opponents who touch Palkia take 10% damage and low knockback.

:{{Flag|North America}} ''Stories surround this Legendary Water/Dragon-type Pokémon, saying that it has control over all of space. Its Spacial Rend attack will tear space and flip the screen upside down. When this happens, the directional controls of all fighters will become flipped as well.''
:{{Flag|Europe}} ''Stories of this Legendary Pokémon say that Palkia is a god that controls all of space. When it uses its Spacial Rend attack in Super Smash Bros., it causes the screen to flip upside down. If that wasn't confusing enough, it also flips the left and right controls!''

[[File:SSBU-Palkia on Spear Pillar.png|thumb|250px|Palkia on Spear Pillar in ''Ultimate''.]]

==Trivia==
*Palkia is one of three Pokémon to be both a Poké Ball summon and a stage element in the same installment, as it returns as both in ''Ultimate''. [[Chansey]] was the first with this distinction, appearing in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', while [[Electrode]] also returns as both in ''Ultimate''.
**Palkia is also the only Legendary Pokémon with this distinction.
**Because of this, Palkia cannot be summoned at Spear Pillar in ''Ultimate''.
*When a player gets [[Screen KO]]'d while Spacial Rend is active, they will [http://youtu.be/UQKuhvozxfQ?t=2m14s technically fall upwards instead of downwards].
