Origin Forme Palkia, the Spatial Pokémon, can appear from place to place in Pokémon Go.
Along with its cousin, Origin Forme Dialga, this Pokémon has the ability to affect the overworld, referred to as an Adventure Effect. Trainers in Pokémon Go can use Origin Forme Dialga to pause time, allowing for much more efficient use of Lucky Eggs, Star Pieces and Incenses. Origin Forme Palkia, meanwhile, can alter space to allow for a larger catch radius on the world map.
But in order to make the most of that benefit, you'll need to add Origin Forme Palkia to your collection and stock up on Palkia Candy in the process. And to achieve that, you will need to know Origin Forme Palkia’s weaknesses and counters in Pokémon Go.
As with all Legendary Pokémon, Origin Forme Palkia will be available in five-star raids for a limited time, so, if you want to add it to your Pokédex, you’ll need to battle it alongside a group of trainers. Thanks to Remote Raiding, you can save time by doing this from home.

Origin Forme Palkia dates back to when Sinnoh was still the Hisui region, as seen in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. You can read the difference between the two Formes below:
Dialga: 'It has the ability to distort space. It is described as a deity in Sinnoh-region mythology.'
Origin Forme Dialga: 'It soars across the sky in a form that greatly resembles the creator of all things. Perhaps this imitation of appearance is Palkia’s strategy for gaining Arceus’s powers.'
While that seems a pretty daft way of trying to gain power, it’s clearly working. The Origin Forme boasts an attack stat of 286 - up slightly from Dialga’s 280 and way up from Arceus’s anticipated attack stat of 238.
Finally, the shinies of both Origin Forme Dialga and Palkia are already available - you can see how they compare below.

Good luck finding a shiny Origin Forme Dialga in Pokémon Go!
