Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions

In Pokémon Pearl Version, Palkia is the Pokémon mascot, and a silhouette of it appears on the title screen. Palkia is found at Spear Pillar where it is summoned by Cyrus, who hopes to have it create a new universe for him. Palkia is stopped by the Lake Guardians — Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf — who nullify its power, allowing the player character to battle it. Palkia is a level 47, and it holds the Lustrous Orb item.

In Pokémon Diamond Version, Palkia is not encountered, and it can only be obtained by trading with a player who has a Palkia.
