| Lv 20 → 40 | 135,000 | 15 | — |
Tier B at rank #14 makes Giratina (Origin) a useful Ghost-type filler rather than an endgame pick. Build one if your Ghost bench is thin, but keep the XL Candy for something stronger.
- Bulk-leaning spread (187 Defense / 284 Stamina) — it stays on the field longer, which suits shielded PvP formats.
- A second charged move costs 100,000 Dust and 100 Candy, and with 4 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Fog and Windy weather — worth timing raids around.
