Giratina, a legendary Ghost/Dragon Pokémon and the last member of the Creation Trio. It has very high stats, as well as a large and powerful moveset, making it an extremely valuable addition to any trainer's team.
Steps
-
Beat the first seven gyms to gain access to Spear Pillar & the Distortion World. -
Go to the end of the distortion world. Giratina can be found at the end of the distortion world.Advertisement -
Lower its health and put it to sleep. Your chance of successfully catching a Pokémon rises once it has been weakened. Putting it to sleep (such as with moves like with Hypnosis or Spore) raises this chance even further.- Note: Unlike its counterparts, Dialga & Palkia, Giratina has an EXTREMELY low catch rate and will only last 30 turns in battle. Additionally, two of its moves sometimes raise ALL of its stats at once, making it progressively harder to catch.
- Note: Giratina is part Ghost-Type, and thus is not affected False Swipe (a Normal-type moves that leaves the opponent with a minimum of 1 HP).
-
Catch it in a Poké Ball. You may use any Poké Ball you like here, though three in particular provide an additional advantage:- Quick Balls: Highest chance if thrown on the very first turn, though its success rate drops with each subsequent turn (works opposite to the Timer Ball).
- Dusk Balls: Higher success rate at night and in caves.
- Timer Balls: Success rate grows the longer the battle goes on (works opposite of the Quick Ball).
-
Train your Pokémon & defeat the Pokémon League. -
Then, go to Spring Path along the route that connects Veilstone & Pastoria. -
Keep going in the same direction until you find Giratina, now in its altered form. -
Keep beating the Elite Four until you catch it.

Go to that same route between Veilstone & Pastoria. If you have met the requirements, there will be an opening in the side. -
You need rock climb & de-fog. Go in the cave & keep going in one direction until Giratina is there. Here, it is level 70, has the moves Shadow Force, Earth-Power, Slash, & Heal-Block. -
Put it to sleep or paralyze it, & lower its Hp as much as possible, but keep it alive. Then, it's just a matter of about 40 dusk balls, or less if you're lucky.

Tips
- Note that in Diamond & Pearl, for the opening to Spring Path to appear, one must first obtain the National Pokédex. This is done by seeing every Pokémon in Sinnoh, then showing your filled Pokédex to Professor Rowan.Thanks
- The Origin Form
- Although Giratina will no longer be in origin form in Turnback Cave, you can find an orb in the Distortion World that will change it back to Origin Forme if you let Giratina hold it.*
