Palkia is essentially a deity in the Pokémon world, where it reigns over the powers of space. It is one of the Sinnoh legendary trio and is known to dwell in intergalactic oceans when it crosses between planes of existence. Space was purportedly created when Palkia was born, which was when matter came to be. Palkia can destroy and manipulate space depending on its mood, and it is said it must never meet its arch-nemesis, Dialga, or it is the end of space and time as we know it. |
