Collector Insights

Palkia is a Water-type Pokémon with 90 HP and a retreat cost of two Colorless energies. It has no resistances but is weak to Lightning, taking an additional 20 damage from such attacks. The card features two attacks: "Spacial Rend" costs one Water energy to deal 10 damage and allows the player to search their deck for a Stadium card, reveal it to their opponent, and add it to their hand before shuffling their deck. "Transback" requires three Energy—two Water and one Colorless—to deal 40 damage and includes a coin flip mechanic where heads results in discarding all Energy attached to Palkia and sending the Defending Pokémon and its attached cards to the opponent’s deck. The flavor text references its ability to distort space and its status as a deity in Sinnoh-region mythology. Artist Daisuke Ito designed the card, which belongs to the Diamond & Pearl series and was released in the Great Encounters set on February 1, 2008.
