Take on Origin Forme Palkia in Pokémon GO with this Raid Guide.
Origin Forme Palkia is returning to Pokémon GO during the Into The Wild event and the GO Wild Global event. It returns alongside Origin Forme Dialga, and will be avaliable in Raids from November 18 until November 27.
Additionally, any Origin Forme Palkia caught in Pokémon GO before 11:59 PM local time on November 24 has a chance to know their signature move, Spacial Rend.
This powerful attack is not only one of the best Dragon-type moves in the entire game, but it is also an Adventure Effect move. This move will allow you to see Pokémon at a much further away distance and is excellent to use during events.
So, here is everything you need to know to take on Origin Forme Palkia in Pokémon GO.
Best Origin Forme Palkia counters in Pokémon GO:
Like its standard form, Origin Forme Palkia has a weakness to Dragon and Fairy-type attacks. It has a double resistance to Fire and Water-type attacks, with an additional weakness to Steel-type attacks as well.
Here are the best Pokémon you can use to take on Origin Forme Palkia in Pokémon GO.
 Mega Rayquaza Dragon Tail & Breaking Swipe |  Mega Garchomp Dragon Tail & Outrage |  Mega Gardevoir Charm & Dazzling Gleam |  Mega Salamence Dragon Tail & Outrage |  Rayquaza Dragon Tail & Breaking Swipe |  Origin Forme Dialga Dragon Breath & Roar of Time |  Origin Forme Palkia Dragon Tail & Spatial Rend |  Xerneas Geomancy & Moonblast |  Dialga Dragon Breath & Draco Meteor |  Tapu Lele Confusion & Natures Madness |  Tapu Koko Volt Switch & Natures Madness |  Mega Latios Dragon Breath & Dragon Claw |
Being a Dragon-type, there are plenty of good Pokémon in Pokémon GO to take on Origin Forme Palkia. However, remember that this effectiveness will work both ways. Your Dragon-type attackers will be effective against Origin Forme Palkia, but Origin Forme Palkia will be effective against them too.
If you're worried about this, leaning into Fairy-type Pokémon could be a good option. Additionally, Origin Forme and standard Dialga are both Dragon and Steel-types and thus do not have a weakness to Dragon-type attacks.
What is also fantastic is that both Dialga and Palkia are good choices for this Raid. If you're low on Origin Forme Palkia counters, the more Raids you do the more options you will have for future Raids.
