Where to find Giratina

Eventually, Giratina will be hidden inside the Turnback Cave, however, there are a few things you need to do first.

The first time you face Giratina, you won’t be able to catch it. Instead, it will take place during the Story battle. After you’ve completed most of the story, including catching Palkia and Dialga, when the villains show up, you take them over.

After defeating their group of six Pokémon, they’ll summon Giratina, which you’ll need best in battle to continue. After defeating Giratina in her normal form, you will need to do so a second time in her Altered form.

Once you defeat Giratina, the main story will be complete and you will now be on your way to capturing Giratina for yourself. Now you just have to head to Turnback Cave, which can be found in the northwest corner of the Cobalt Coastlands, where Giratina is waiting to be challenged and captured.
