When in its Origin Forme, it is able to pass through dimensions at will, however, it will turn back to its Altered Forme due to the gravity change from the Distortion World. Giratina is able to travel through and control dimensions besides those of time and space.

Giratina can only be in its Origin Forme when in its home, the Distortion World, or when holding a Griseous Orb. The black vertical stripe is broken into pieces and runs all the way down its body. The sides of the golden "crown" cover its mouth and separate vertically like an insect's mandible when it opens its mouth. The horns on its head are now facing the back. The back points of each half-ring have a black ghostly tendril with red a spike at its tip. While in Origin Forme, the six gold half-rings can grip objects. Its legs are reduced to golden-tipped spikes, and four additional golden spikes appear near the edge of its tail. In its Origin Forme, it takes on a serpentine look. Giratina remains in Altered Forme when outside of its home dimension. Two golden half-circles similar to those on its neck are on each side of each leg, resembling shackles. Its six legs are thick and have golden claws. These wings can change shape as if made of a liquid or gas. In its Altered Forme, it has two large black ghostly wings with three red tips on each that can resemble claws.

A thick black stripe runs vertically along its front with five red horizontal stripes.

Its head has a gold crown-like object surrounding it with two large horns pointing sideways. Giratina is a large, gray, draconic Pokémon with three gold half-rings on each side of its long neck.

While it is not known to evolve to or from any other Pokémon, Giratina has a second forme activated by giving Giratina a Griseous Orb to hold, or while it is in its home, the Distortion World. Giratina ( Japanese: ギラティナ Giratina) is a dual-type Ghost/ Dragon Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.
