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 ejaculate 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 Grass Arceus. 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.
