Giratina (Japanese: ギラティナ Giratina) is a dual-type Ghost/Dragon Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.
While it is not known to evolve into or from any other pokémon, Giratina transforms from its Altered Forme into its Origin Forme using the Griseous Orb(Gen IV-VIII)/Griseous Core(Gen VIII+) or while in its home, the Distortion World.

Along with Dialga and Palkia, Giratina is one of the Pokémon of myth created by Arceus, representing antimatter.
Giratina is the game mascot of pokémon Platinum Version, appearing on the game's boxart in its Origin Forme, which was officially revealed in early February 2008. It is also the last pokémon in the Sinnoh Pokédex in said game.

Giratina can transform into its Origin Forme, which is said to be its true form. Compared to Dialga and Palkia, whose Origin Formes more closely resemble Arceus, Giratina's Origin Forme has a serpentine appearance. Its legs are reduced to golden-tipped spikes, while four additional golden spikes appear near the end of its tail. The six gold half-rings become functional appendages capable of gripping objects, and from the back of each extends a black ghostly tendril tipped with a red spike. Its horns point backward, and the sides of its golden crown cover its mouth, separating vertically like an insect's mandibles when it opens them. The black stripe running down its body is also broken into separate segments.
Origin Forme Giratina is at full power and allows it to travel through and exert control over dimensions beyond those of time and space. It naturally retains this form within the Distortion World and can also maintain it while holding either a Griseous Orb or Griseous Core. Given sufficient power, Giratina can remain in Origin Forme in the real world without the aid of either item, potentially becoming equal to Arceus in strength. While in Origin Forme, Giratina is always levitating and can pass through dimensions at will. However, the difference in gravity between the Distortion World and the real world normally causes it to revert to its Altered Forme. Giratina can also transform itself into a shadow and merge the Distortion World with the pokémon world, as seen during the events at Spear Pillar, though doing so risks distorting and potentially destroying itself. In pokémon Adventures, it was shown using the terrain of the Distortion World to encase and trap its opponents.
