    Palkia's BW analysis on Smogon is the stuff of legends.
    "Palkia is a dick. That isn't just a reference to its phallic appearance-Palkia is one of the most dangerous offensive threats in the metagame and often poses problems for nearly every team archetype. This comes from its ability to cough up a powerful STAB Surf or Hydro Pump, which can be reinforced by the presence of rain and supported by its signature Dragon-type STAB, Spacial Rend, as well as its many other coverage move options. It also has a key base 100 Speed that the many Ubers Pokemon sitting at base 90 or 95 Speed lust for. All these traits make it extremely difficult to block Palkia without resorting to the likes of Chansey or Arceus-Grass. Palkia is also notable for its ability to stand erect in front of the mighty Kyogre's Choice Specs Water Spout, making it one of the few safe switch-ins to the king of Ubers. Palkia comes in all shapes and sizes ranging from its special attacking Lustrous Orb set to its Choice Specs and Choice Scarf variants. It also functions well under any weather condition, making it extremely easy to insert into a team."

    Palkia might not be so great in the main series games, but let me explain how much of an absolute monster Palkia is in the Mystery Dungeon Explorers games.
    Palkia is easily the best Pokemon in the game. It gets Spacial Rend, Earth Power, Earthquake, Draco Meteor, and Blizzard, all of which are moves that hit every single enemy in a room, two of which are STAB on it. It obliterates Monster Houses without breaking a sweat. Hydro Pump is a long range STAB move meaning it can snipe enemies before they can even get close.
    But the real kicker with Palkia is its IQ skills. In the PMD games, these are special skills that give passive buffs to Pokemon and some of them are kinda ridiculous. Just some of the IQ skills Palkia gets are:
    Gap Prober: Allows it to fire off ranged moves like Hydro Pump through teammates
    Concentrator: Raises accuracy for moves, meaning Hydro Pump and stuff like Blizzard will pretty much never miss
    PP Saver: Occasionally will not use PP for moves
    Energy Saver: Its belly will go down slower
    Multitalent: Adds 5 PP to all of its moves and *cannot be turned off*
    Stair Sensor: When moving to the next floor, it will give a general direction as to where the stairs are
    Map Surveyor: The entire floor layout is visible.
    Absolute Mover: Can travel anywhere, even *through walls*. Yeah. Combine this with the two skills above and you can literally carve your way through dungeons.
    And if all of that wasn't enough, there are items in these games that give specific Pokemon certain effects for them and their evolutionary lines. Palkia's is the Air Blade, which boosts the damage of all of its moves by 1.5x.
    Palkia wrecks enemies, crushes Monster Houses, and can literally just dig through walls to get to the stairs. It's phenomenal.

      @PotatotheTroll 5 лет назад +42

      @@shupasopni Dialga and Darkrai get the Time Tripper IQ skill, which raises their base speed level to 2X speed. If you didn't know, speed boosting is an extremely powerful tactic in PMD. Speed works in tiers, not in turn order. This means that a pokemon at 3X speed can perform three actions for every one action by a pokemon at 1X speed. At 4X speed, however, the ratio appears to be less consistent, in my experience.
      While we're on the topic, in PMD Explorers, Agility temporarily raises speed by two tiers. If either the player or their partner is Pikachu, the game becomes significantly easier. Speed boosting is ridiculous in this game. In Rescue Team, the game's most prominent boss had Agility, which functioned the same way and depending on your RNG, it could buff itself to the point of being nearly unstoppable.
