How to capture, utilize, and counter Giratina in Pokémon Go

Pokémon Platinum is fantastic for many reasons. It adds some amazing new features and makes some terrific tweaks to the already fantastic Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. The greatest achievement, however, will always be the introduction of Giratina's incredible genesis form, which is still, in my opinion, one of the greatest Pokémon designs ever created. Take a peek at that creature.

You're at the correct spot if you want to include Pokémon Go Giratina in your squad. Despite having the numbers to match its terrible appearance, this enormous ghost/dragon-type is difficult to locate and catch. Thus, you must put in the effort to support your desire for a Giratina of your own!

The first decision you must make if you want to utilize Giratina on your squad is the form you will choose. In contrast to Pokémon games in the main series, Giratina's shape cannot be changed with an item. Rather, they're divided into two distinct Pokémon that you must find on your own. The primary distinction is that Giratina's origin form obtains ground immunity because of its ability to float, however there are minor stat differences as well. Because of this, ground monsters like Garchomp, Hippowdon, and Landorus are more vulnerable to it. Giratina can learn the ancient power of the rock move, but for the STAB boost, you should almost always utilize its dragon or ghost-type attacks instead. Giratina poses a serious danger to several Pokémon that are dragon- and psychic-type because to its nature. The Pokémon that are most susceptible to Giratina are listed below.

• Deoxys 
• Mewtwo
• Hoopa 
• Lunala 
• Jirachi 
• Metagross 
• Chandelure 
• Dusknoir 
• Gallade 
• Cresselia
• Slowbro (Galarian) 

How can I defeat Giratina from Pokémon Go?

In conjunction with both Pokémon ghost and dragon-types being weak to themselves, Giratina's greatest adversary is really neither itself nor the many other ghost and dragon-types that exist. A swift ghost-type like Gengar may be quite helpful if you're trying to kill the beast in raids, or you can take advantage of its vulnerabilities with a variety of dark-types. The Pokémon that work well against Giratina are listed below.

• Darkrai 
• Gengar 
• Kyurem (black) 
• Zacian 
• Palkia 
• Rayquaza 
• Salamence 
• Hydreigon 
• Weavile 
• Zoroark
