In-Depth Analysis
Palkia's 680 base stat total marks it as a fast attacker that leans on outspeeding threats and hitting hard. Special Attack (150) carries most matchups, but a low HP stat of 90 means careful positioning matters.
Its Water, Dragon typing leaves Palkia with 2 weaknesses against 3 resistances. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 4 types for super-effective damage.
A low catch rate of 3 makes Palkia a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Special Attack +3 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
