Origin Forme Giratina is a great Legendary Pokémon for any Trainer's arsenal. The Pokémon has well-rounded stats: 225 Attack, 187 Defense, and 284 Stamina. As a Ghost and Dragon-type Pokémon, Origin Forme Giratina also has some strong moves.

The Pokémon has two Fast Moves: Shadow Claw and Dragon Tail. In addition, Origin Forme Giratina’s Charge Moves are Shadow Ball, Ominous Winds, Shadow Force, and Dragon Pulse. However, among all these moves, only a few are worth using on Origin Forme Giratina.
