What to Prioritize
Palkia is the star of this raid hour, and it’s worth your time to prioritize it. With its strong Water/Dragon typing, Palkia brings a unique mix of offensive and defensive capabilities. It has a high CP ceiling of 3,890, making it a valuable addition to your roster if you can snag one. Focus on maximizing your chances by bringing your best counters, such as Rayquaza with Dragon Ascent or Garchomp with Mud Shot and Earth Power. You’ll want to take advantage of every opportunity to battle and capture Palkia.
Bonuses Worth Using
No bonuses are listed for this raid hour, which means you should solely focus on the battle itself. That said, don’t forget to use your best resources—Stock up on Ultra Balls and berries to increase your catch rate once you take it down. Utilizing a Golden Razz Berry will give you the best shot at securing a high-CP Palkia, so don’t be shy about using them during the catch phase.
Is It Worth Your Time?
This raid hour is absolutely worth your time, especially if you’re looking to enhance your Dragon or Water-type lineup. While there are no shiny chances this time around, Palkia’s competitive value in both raids and the GO Battle League makes it a worthwhile investment. If you're aiming to strengthen your team for upcoming battles or simply want to fill out your Pokédex, don’t miss this opportunity to challenge Palkia. Just remember to coordinate with friends or local trainers to maximize your raid efficiency!
