Best Palkia counters — Tier 5 raid (2026)
The best Palkia counters are Mega Rayquaza, Xerneas, Shadow Dragonite, Mega Salamence, and Shadow Gardevoir. Dragon + Fairy are super-effective.
Palkia is Water/Dragon — weak to Dragon + Fairy. Origin Forme Palkia (released 2024) has the same typing with a much higher attack stat.
Dragon mirror is the highest DPS but risky — Palkia's Dragon moves hit your counters hard. Fairy is the safe-and-slow option.
