'''Palkia''' ({{ja|パルキア|Parukia}}, ''Palkia'') is a 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}}'' 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. In Pokemon Legends Arceus, Palkia can transform into its Origin Form using the Lustrous Globe.

{{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.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
===As a [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon===
[[File:Smash.4 - Palkia Pokeball.jpg|left|thumb|Palkia using Spacial Rend.]]
[[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!''

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
===As a stage element===
[[File:SSBU-Palkia on Spear Pillar.png|thumb|250px|Palkia on Spear Pillar in ''Ultimate''.]]
Palkia reprises its role as a stage hazard on the returning [[Spear Pillar]] stage. Spear Pillar now allows for any of the three Legendary Pokémon to appear each time, rather than being set for the whole match.

===As a Poké Ball Pokémon===
[[File:Palkia Spacial Rend SSBU.png|thumb|left|200px|Palkia using Spacial Rend in ''Ultimate''.]]
Palkia returns as a Poké Ball and Master Ball Pokémon, with the same behavior as ''Smash 4''.

Palkia cannot be summoned on 3D Land, Arena Ferox, Balloon Fight, Brinstar, Dream Land GB, Golden Plains, Green Hill Zone, Jungle Japes, Mushroomy Kingdom, Mute City SNES, Paper Mario, PictoChat 2, Prism Tower, Reset Bomb Forest, Spear Pillar (as it already appears there), Suzaku Castle, Tomodachi Life, Tortimer Island, WarioWare Inc., or Yoshi's Island.

Palkia's Spacial Rend will not be able to flip the stage upside down if a fighter is equipped with a spirit with Screen-Flip Immunity, though it will still remain on stage to damage any opponents who touch it.

==Trivia==
*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 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].
*Palkia's roars in ''Brawl'' is 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 same franchise.
**Its roars as a Poké Ball Pokémon replaces the Godzilla roars with roars of King Ghidorah, who is also from the same franchise.
**Due to copyright reasons, Palkia's roar is not heard in the game's sound clips outside of ''Brawl''.
*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).
