Palkia (パルキア, Palkia) is a fictional creature from the Pokémon series.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Palkia appears as a stage hazard on the Spear Pillar stage. Palkia will always appear whenever Spear Pillar has a purple hue. It can use several abilities:

• Collapsing one of the three sections of the floor (left, middle, or right)
• Creating a powerful beam over a portion of the stage vertically, or horizontally through the lower section of the stage
• Tilting the camera
• Rotating the camera 180 degrees
• Flipping the camera horizontally, resulting in a mirror-image
• Decreasing gravity, making characters jump higher and fall slower

Trophy information

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.

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.

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!

Origin

Palkias's official artwork from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.

Palkia is a Water/Dragon-type Legendary Pokémon and the version mascot of Pokémon Pearl. It has the ability to control and distort space, and it is treated as a deity in Sinnoh's lore. In Pokémon Pearl, Team Galactic attempts to use its power to recreate the universe with Cyrus as a ruler: after defeating Cyrus at Spear Pillar the player has a chance to catch Palkia.

Spacial Rend is a special Dragon-type move with 100 base power, 95% accuracy and an increased chance of dealing a critical hit. Palkia is the only Pokémon able to learn it naturally.

Trivia

• When a player gets Screen KO'd while Spacial Rend is active, they will technically fall upwards instead of downwards.
