Pokemon Go Origin Forme Palkia: Best moveset for PvP and Raids

Origin Forme Palkia, the Legendary’s Hisui variant from Pokemon Legends Arceus, is returning for Pokemon Go‘s Into the Wild event. Here are the ideal movesets to teach it if you manage to catch one.

The deity known as Palkia is a Legendary Pokemon who can distort space. It was introduced in Gen 4’s Sinnoh region and debuted in Pokemon Go in 2019 alongside Dialga.

Both Origin Formes debuted early in 2024 and are now coming back to celebrate the ending of the Max Out season with the Into the Wild event.

So, here’s everything you need to know to exploit the Legendary Origin Forme Palkia‘s full potential in Niantic’s game.

Best moveset for PvP

The best moveset for Origin Forme Palkia in PvP consists of Dragon Breath as a Fast Move and Spacial Rend as a Charged Move.

Despite Dragon Tail having better stats than Dragon Breath, it’s better to go for the latter one in PvP due to how easy it is to spam it.

For the Charged Move, players should go with Spacial Rend, as it is Origin Forme Palkia’s signature move and even has an Adventure Effect to benefit the player during combat. However, it’s worth noting you can only obtain this move by capturing the Pokemon during special events.

If you want to have a different coverage while providing shield pressure, you can always go with Aqua Tail as your primary Charged Move and – if you can afford it – make Spacial Rend your secondary one.

Best moveset for Raids

Overall, the best moveset available for Origin Forme Palkia in Raids consists of Dragon Tail as a Fast Move and Spacial Rend as a Charged Move, with 20.51 damage per second and a good 690.99 total damage output.

As a Fast Move, it’s better to go with Dragon Tail for PvE as deals a little bit more damage than Dragon Breath and also pairs nicely with Spacial Rend.

For Charged Move, Spacial Rend is still the most optimal attack this beast has. Even though it deals less damage than Draco Meteor, it costs way less, so you’ll have access to it sooner and you’ll be able to use it more often.
