Master League	S	#1 / 406	98.7	Dragon Breath · Aqua Tail · Spacial Rend Origin Palkia is one of the definitive Master League Pokemon. It has everything you could ask for - stats, speed, power, and great typing, making it a top pick by most categories. Origin Forme is strictly better than Palkia's regular forme. If you don't have Spacial Rend, Fire Blast is a viable option to hit Zacian and other Steel types.	L50 · 15/15/15
