Palkia (Primal) in Emerald Imperium

Water / Dragon — where to catch it, what it learns, and how it differs from the official games.

Compared with the official games

Against the base species it is built from:

  • Stats Defense 100 → 130, Sp. Atk 150 → 185, Sp. Def 120 → 150 (total 680 → 775)
  • Abilities gains Primal Armor and loses Pressure, Telepathy

Compared against present-day official data. The Fairy type and hidden abilities arrived after Pokémon Emerald, so a difference here can belong to the series rather than to this hack.

Other changes in this hack

  • Becomes Palkia while holding the None
  • Becomes Palkia (Origin) while holding the Lustrous Globe

Where to find Palkia (Primal)

Not found in the wild — evolve or trade for it.
