Strategy Overview
Palkia's typing and perfect coverage allow it to offensively check Kyogre while simultaneously threatening out some of Ubers's most common walls. Palkia takes advantage of Kyogre's rain when switching into it, appreciating a rain-boosted STAB move and a perfectly accurate Thunder to spam for paralysis. However, Palkia's defensive utility ends there, as any status is detrimental to it, and it thus faces heavy competition from Eternatus as a specially bulky Dragon-type. Moreover, while it can hit everything in the metagame for at least neutral damage, it struggles to find 2HKOs on top of being very reliant on proper predictions to be effective.
