Tips for Catching Palkia in Pokémon GO Raid Battles

Prepare to add a powerful Legendary Pokémon to your battle party when Palkia joins Pokémon GO Raid Battles beginning on January 29 at 1:00 p.m. PST. In the mythology of the Sinnoh region, this incredible Pokémon is said to have the ability to distort space—and its fearsome Dragon-type attacks are sure to further its legacy in Pokémon GO. The Spatial Pokémon can tear up battles like few others, so make sure to catch one before it disappears from Raid Battles on February 28 at 1:00 p.m. PST.

To catch Palkia, you can use only the Premier Balls you earn from defeating it, so it's crucial to be prepared. Help your team take over the Gym before the raid starts, battle alongside your friends, and pick Pokémon that will perform well in battle to maximize your chances.
