Giratina (New form and old form!)

Giratina, though not the strongest or hardest to catch, is a major pokemon!!! I'm not trying to discourage you, but he is VERY hard to catch. He is the one i would recommend as second choice of using your masterball with. If you think you have strong pokemon and you can catch him with brute force you're wrong. The problem isn't that he's to strong. He doesn't have enough PP on his moves to last him a decent battle! After about 30 minutes, he'll run out of PP and have to use struggle, which hurts himself. After about 4 struggles if he has full health (which i would NOT recomend leaving him all his health), he dies, and if you haven't saved, you never have another chance to catch him!



To get to Giratina, you have to go to Mt. Coronet (after you've gone to their main hideout at veilstone city and beaten them and got the masterball). You'll see Cyrus and Giratina and Palkia and Dialga and Mesprit and Uxie and Azelf (right now you can only catch Giratina though). you'll have to go into a portle and complete a maze/puzzle, and then battle Cyrus, and THEN battle Giratina. Make sure, if you don't want to use your masterball, that your stalked with 5 quickballs, 15 dusk balls, 10 ultraballs, and about 70 timerballs (just to be safe (which is a good precaution when catching legendaries)). My suggestion of pokemon to have with you is a good Starapter, level 40-60. This is because only one of Giratina's moves can even affect Starapter. his stats are: HP: 150 Attack: 120 Defence: 100 Sp.Atk: 120 Sp.Def: 100 Speed: 90. He's also level 70.

you should also probably buy ALOT of revives and full restores or heals (whichever one heals HP as well as status problems. i forgot which. sorry!!!) if you don't have a starapter. And even with Starapter you should buy some!

after you've caught Giratina, you should beat the elite four, get the national pokedex, and then go to turnback cave (or something like that). go down from veilstone and a new path will have opened up. go on that path, find the cave, and then find the room that has a portle. go back to the reverse world through that portle and follow the path. you'll find 1 pokeball around the end. click on it and you'll get an item. attach it to Giratina, and he will change form! (you can attach it and deattach it to change his form back and forth as many times as you like).
