Pokémon GO: Origin Form vs. Altered Form of Giratina – Which is better?

In Pokémon GO you will soon have the chance to encounter both forms of Giratina. We will reveal whether the Altered Form or the Origin Form is the better variant.

These are the two forms: Giratina can take on two different forms. You could already battle the Altered Form in October 2018. The Origin Form is new now. Thus, the question arises which of the two forms is better.

This form is better: In short, the Origin Form of Giratina is the better form. We will show you the differences between the two Pokémon and how valuable Giratina is in battles.

How good is the Origin Form and the Altered Form of Giratina

Giratina Altered Form

Origin FormAltered Form
Attack Value225187
Defense Value187225
HP Value284284
Maximum CP3683 CP3379 CP

What do the values say? The values of the two forms are almost equal. The difference is that the Origin Form has the better attack value and the Altered Form has the better defense value.

Legendary Pokémon cannot be placed in gyms, which is why the defense value does not play a major role. Here, the attack value is more important as you want to use Giratina to attack.

This form is therefore better: Since you want to attack, the Origin Form with the higher attack value is better. The Altered Form has no greater benefit.

This is the major disadvantage of both forms: The attacks of Giratina make the legendary Pokémon rather weak. It has poor dragon-type attacks and even worse ghost-type attacks. If it could master better moves, Giratina could become really interesting.

What is Giratina good for? Due to the poor attacks, both forms of Giratina are more in the middle of the attackers. They simply have too much competition among their types.

However, those who enjoy variety in battles can certainly opt for the Origin Form of Giratina, as it is still solid.

The conclusion of the comparison: The better form is definitely the Origin Form. A few raids are worth it. However, those looking for the best attackers will be disappointed. This is due to the poor attacks.
