This CP cap increases even more as a raid boss, making winning against Origin Forme Palkia in 5-star raids extremely hard. One must carefully analyze the legendary’s weaknesses and resistance and prepare proper counters against the raid boss.

Pokemon GO: Origin Forme Palkia Weaknesses And Resistances

Origin Forme Palkia Pokemon GO

Origin Forme Palkia possesses a stat spread of 286 ATK, 223 DEF, and 189 STA, slightly better than its counterpart, Palkia. Since the monster’s max CP increases as a 5-star raid boss in Pokemon GO, winning against the legendary Pokemon in raids is extremely hard. To secure a win, one should avoid attempting the raid solo and team up with other players with proper counters.

Origin Forme Palkia shares the same typing as Palkia, making both variants’ weaknesses and resistances identical. Players must study the monster's meta before selecting counters against Origin Forme Palkia raids. Look for counters with the Pokemon GO Same Type of Attack Bonus potential moves that fall under the raid boss’ weaknesses.

After winning the Origin Forme Palkia raid, Shiny Origin Forme Palkia may spawn near the raid location. While Shiny Origin Forme Palkia spawning is possible, the Shiny encounter isn’t guaranteed. Getting a Shiny encounter is challenging, but getting a legendary Shiny is even more difficult in Pokemon GO. One must encounter multiple Origin Forme Palkia to match its Shiny odds, and even then, a Shiny might not spawn.
