Giratina (ギラティナ, Giratina) is a creature from the Pokémon series.
Origin
Giratina is a Ghost/Dragon-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation IV, and is a member of the Pokémon of Myth of Sinnoh along with Dialga and Palkia. It is the version mascot of Pokémon Platinum, and is categorized within the Pokédex at #487 as the "Renegade Pokémon". Giratina represents antimatter, and lives in the Distortion World. It has two Formes: the Origin Forme, which it can assume only in the Distortion World or when holding a Griseous Orb (Platinum to Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl) or Griseous Core (Pokémon Legends: Arceus onwards), and the Altered Forme, under which it appears in Super Smash Bros. 4. In Pokémon Platinum, it takes the role held by Dialga/Palkia in Pokémon Diamond/Pearl respectively: Team Galactic attempts to use its power to recreate the universe with Cyrus as a ruler; after defeating Cyrus in the Distortion World the player has a chance to catch Giratina.
Dragon Breath is a Dragon-type Special move with 60 base power and 100% accuracy which has a 30% chance of inflicting the Paralysis status on the target. Giratina knows this move by default at level 1.
In Super Smash Bros. 4
As a Poké Ball Pokémon
Giratina's Altered Forme appears in Super Smash Bros. 4 as a Poké Ball and Master Ball summon. When summoned it attacks three times, breathing out a large vortex which damages enemies for 2% while carrying them away, similarly to Mario Finale. It can turn around before attacking if no enemies are in front of it. Touching Giratina's body deals 12% damage with weak diagonal knockback.
Trophy
- Giratina
- This Ghost/Dragon-type Pokémon is a resident of the Distortion World. When it is given a Griseous Orb, it'll change into its Origin Forme. Its Dragon Breath attack can catch fighters in a powerful, damaging tornado. If you're on the receiving end, be careful it doesn't carry you right off the stage.

- Also called the Renegade Pokémon, Giratina lives in a dimension known as the Distortion World. It has two Formes, and will only be seen in Origin Forme in our world if it's holding a Griseous Orb. Its Dragon Breath attack creates a powerful tornado that not only damages you, but can carry you off the stage!

Spirits
Giratina appears as two primary spirits.
Giratina (Altered Forme)'s Spirit Battle uses a Giant Mr. Game & Watch puppet fighter and is fought on the Spear Pillar stage. During the battle, Giratina is summoned while the screen flips upside down, referencing the Distortion World, an alternate dimension that disobeys the laws of physics, and accessible only in Pokémon Platinum.
Giratina (Origin Forme) can be obtained by enhancing the Giratina (Altered Forme) spirit at level 99.
