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

{{pkmn|Palkia}} is a Water/Dragon-type {{iw|bulbapedia|Legendary Pokémon}} and the {{iw|bulbapedia|version mascot}} of ''{{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon Pearl}}'' and its remake ''{{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon Shining 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|Pokémon Legends: Arceus}}'', Palkia can transform into its Origin Form using the {{iw|bulbapedia|Lustrous Globe}}.

|desc=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 Spacial Rend to rip through the very space an enemy resides in, damaging the foe at the same time.

Palkia's trophy can be obtained in both versions. In {{forwiiu}} it is part of the ''Legend of Pokémon Diamond & Pokémon Pearl'' {{h1|Trophy Box|Legend of Pokémon Diamond & Pokémon Pearl}}.

|desc-ntsc=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 the fighters will become flipped as well.

|desc-pal=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, the controls in all four directions end up reversed, too!

*Palkia is one of four 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]] and [[Scizor]] also return as both in ''Ultimate''.

*Palkia's roars in ''Brawl'' are a combination of sound effects of the Varactyl from the ''Star Wars'' film franchise and Godzilla roars from the ''Godzilla'' film franchise. A similar case occurs with [[Lunala]] in ''Ultimate'', who uses the cry of Mothra from the ''Godzilla'' franchise.

**Its roars as a Poké Ball Pokémon replace the Godzilla roars with roars of King Ghidorah, who is also from the same franchise.

*During Spacial Rend in ''Smash 4'', the [[magnifying glass]] will not properly show the character's vertical position, showing characters going towards the lower blast line (which is now at the top of the screen) as going towards the upper blast line and vice versa. The vertical position is accurate to if the screen was not rotated. This does not occur for the horizontal position, which is properly reflected, unless the upper or lower camera bounds are crossed, in which case the horizontal position is flipped and is accurate as if the screen wasn't rotated. This results in confusing scenarios where a character who is launched towards the upper-right (bottom-left in the rotated view) will have the magnifying glass appear towards the bottom-right (upper-left), unless they pass the upper (bottom) camera bound in which case the magnifying glass will appear to the bottom-left (upper-right).
