Origin Forme Palkia’s best moveset in Pokemon Go will undoubtedly have other signature moves besides the ones that we know from Palkia’s regular forme. It has been confirmed by Niantic that the Origin forms of Palkia and Dialga will be joining the fray with GO Tour: Sinnoh. With this new forme and signature move, Origin Palkia will become a formidable opponent in the GO Battle League.

Origin Forme Palkia's best moveset in Pokemon GO
Best PvE moveset for Origin Palkia in GO
The best offensive PvE moveset for Origin Palkia in GO is Dragon Tail (Dragon-type move) as the Fast move, along with Aqua Tail (Water-type move) and Spacial Rend (Dragon-type move) as the Charged moves.
Since the Dragon Breath, Aqua Tail, and Spacial Rend match the elemental typings of Origin Palkia, you will enjoy the Same Type Attack Bonus (STAB) with this moveset.
When it comes to Gym Defense, you will not need a defensive moveset as Origin Palkia is a Legendary monster. Players cannot use such creatures as Gym defenders.
Best PvP moveset for Origin Forme Palkia in Pokemon GO
Dragon Tail as the Fast move, along with Aqua Tail and Spacial Rend as the Charged moves, is the best PvP moveset for Origin Palkia in Pokemon GO.
Dragon Tail paired with Spacial Rend has a Damage per second (DPS) stat of 20.51 and a Total Damage Output (TDO) stat of 691. This is the highest score you can achieve for Origin Palkia in this game.
Hydro Pump has a better score than Aqua Tail in terms of damage, but you will need a bait move with a low energy requirement. We have chosen Aqua Tail since it has the lowest energy requirement.
Is Origin Forme Palkia any good in Pokemon GO?
Origin Palkia comes with a decent elemental typing combination of Dragon and Water. This is supported by impressive stats (286 Atk, 223 Defense, and Max CP of 4,683) and a banger move pool.
When it comes to PvP, Spacial Rend is a very strong move with 95 Damage, DPS of 64, and Damage per Energy (DPE) of 1.9 (Energy cost: 50). Supporting this, you have a bait like Aqua Tail, which will not only help trick the enemy into giving up a shield but will also hit hard if the enemy decides to take it to the face.
Origin Palkia seems to be promising in theory. We will have to wait till the Pokemon GO Tour: Sinnoh to see a practical demonstration of how good this monster really is in the game.
