In-Depth Analysis
Giratina's 680 base stat total marks it as a high-end Pokémon with strong numbers across the board. HP (150) carries most matchups, but a low Speed stat of 90 means careful positioning matters.
Defensively, the Ghost, Dragon combination gives Giratina 6 resistances, 2 immunities, and 5 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 3 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A low catch rate of 3 makes Giratina a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants HP +3 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
