    To be fair to Giratina, the origin form actually got Day 2 at Worlds last Year on a Hyper Offence team with Dialga. If you Max you can Spam Max Phantasm with 140 Base Power that drops defense to potentially snow ball. I'm not a 100% sure but I think the person also had leer Tornadus to get the initial one to do massive damage.

    They need to give Giratina the Zygarde ability so that players can relive the Volo boss fight and have it go from base to Origin form.

      The problem is that this would also be really bad, and wouldn't fix the issue at all.
      Girarina's two forms both want opposite things, so trying to build for one form means it'll either be terrible before its form switch or after.
      Your best bet would be to set up in Altered Forme, then sweep in Origin Forme, but Giratina not only lacks many good setup moves, but also lacks the speed to sweep anything.

      I think they could update it to at least be on par with other modern form exclusive held items. 20% boost to stab is pretty weak compared to some other unique items, especially when Ghost and Dragon post Fairy aren't the best offensive types outside of specific overtuned mons. Untying his form change from it is also good, but adjusting his stat distribution and updating his movepool would do way more for making Giratina viable and be way less work. And knowing Gamefreak, they want to put in the least amount of effort for literally everything.

Maybe Punishment if it didn't get dex-cut, but then again, Zacian resists). That said, like I said, it wouldn't have been as annoying if Zacian wasn't both fast and bulky. If Zacian was frail, it would *have* to KO the opposing Pokemon first, and even if Zacian 2HKOs the opposing pokemon, it would be easier to revenge-kill. If it were bulky but slow, then whatever opposing Pokemon would likely strike first, guarenteeing some damage even if OHKO'd.

Gamefreak WENT OUT OF THERE WAY to screw the pooch over, while showering Zacian with love and I have no idea why. Never in the history of this franchise have I seen such balant favoritism between the cover legends. And fixing him is so easy. First, as everyone else has been saying, Behemoth Bash should be based off his defense that way he can go all in on bulk. Second, GIVE HIM KING'S SHIELD! I don't care that it's Aegislash's signature move. It fits Zam thematically, fits into his playstyle, and it helps make up for his undeserved nerf. I'm not saying this'll make him as busted as his twin, but at least he won't be a joke anymore.

    @Terry_T_ODST Год назад +57

    8:11 my personal take on buffing the dragon:
    Give a hidden ability shared by both forms, but with different effects for each one. On the normal form it would act as filter, making it a better wall; in Origin form, it would act as Tinted Lens, making its STAB moves much more spammable while reducing the need of coverage. This would also mean origin form has more room for support moves like t-wave and Will o Wisp.

      I was super sad that they didn't do something like this for Legends Arceus, personally I was expecting more work to be done in order to show why Giratina was this massive doomsday renegade pokemon that the literal god of all creation had to seal away in a pocket dimension. The fact some random ass folklore mon on a horse gets to up class the demigod/satan stand in that controls gravity itself is so confusing.
      IMO get rid of pressure, have both forms share Intimidate, Shadow Tag or Cursed Body's effect. Filter fits as a second effect for Altered but I think Unaware or Mold Breaker fits Origin form more, maybe even Defiant. Levitate is still great tbf so wouldn't complain if that stayed but overall giving older box legendary mons that didn't get megas or updated stats/unique abilities should be brought up to par and at least given unique abilities like Calyrex's As One, especially old box legendaries that have mediocre stat spreads and subpar move pools.

      in general gen 4 is the pokemon company's neglected, unwanted child. Despite selling better than gen 3 and gen 5 those 2 get so much more love than it. There is not a single gen 4 regional variant and only half a paradox pokemon (iron valiant on bulbapedia is labelled as a mix of gallade and gardevoir). The remakes were insulting, darkrai continually gets nerfed over and over. Cresselia got nerfed. Nothing special is ever done for it. Garchomp isn't allowed to get dragon dance and instead they made enamorous in legends arceus which garchomp can do nothing against. Even though legends arceus was supposed to be a sinnoh game it got a gen 5 pokemon for some reason. I could go on.

    I think with Giratina being the Pokemon lord of antimatter, it's be cool if in Origin Form Shadow Force would just always hit super-effectively, utilizing the anitmatter in an offensive manner, while in its altered form it could instead give it some kind of recovery on the first turn as it goes back to its own realm and is able to heal up from the abundant antimatter.
    Alternatively, sticking with the antimatter theme, it could have an ability where it gets passive damage reduction (altered form) or a flat damage buff when dealing damage, a la neuroforce or tinted lens. Sure, it'd lose the ground immunity of levitate, but that isn't really helping it tbh.
    EDIT: I had another idea and added it.

    The biggest flaw in the balancing of Zamazenta imo, is apparent when you compare their abilities.
    Zacian gets an attack boost which is excellent because you choose which offensive stat you use.
    Zamazenta gets a defence boost which is nice, but whether or not you use your defence or sp.def isn't up to you, your opponent can always just choose to aim at your sp.def.

Mewtwo does very much function, it can get the job done. The issue is more so that it just has so much competition that it’s hard to justify using it for a lot of players, like you mentioned.
    Also I adore your idea of giving it Neuroforce! If they don’t want to do that, then they should at least give it a clone of the ability under a different name. They already do stuff like this, such as Protean and Libero. Honestly, just bring back Mega Mewtwo Y lol

    So here's how I think we fix giratina;

    2. Widen the stat gap; lower atk and spec.atk by 15 each, lower speed by 10, and raise def / spec.def by 20 a piece
    3. Give Her Trick room
    Origin form:
    1. Widen the stat gap; lower Def and spec.Def by 25 each, Raise speed by 10, and raise Atk / spec.Atk by 20 a piece
    2. Expand her attacking move pool, Current coverage basically doesnt exist, most moves are either ghost, dragon, normal, or status
    1a. Alternative to atk &s spec atk raise: raise spec.atk by 35 and speed by 15
    I know 140 base defenses and 150hp isnt the bulkiest, but calc wise it gives her a hit to live, especially with shadow shield. And yes 100-105 base speed doesnt sound like a lot but its faster than kyogre, groudon, and dialga just to name a few, and can make her the optimal switch in for the middle with a move pool that includes something a bit wider coverage than what she has now.
