Giratina (ギラティナ, /ˌɡɪrəˈtnə/ GHIRR-ə-TEE-nə).[1] is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. Giratina first appeared in the video games Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, but gained prominence in the sister game, Pokémon Platinum, in which it is the mascot and a major part of the storyline, and would later appear as an antagonist in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

Giratina is a Legendary Pokémon, a special classification of Pokémon noted for their rarity and power; specifically, it is one of the "Pokémon of Myth" involved in the creation of the Sinnoh region in which Pokémon Diamond and Pearl take place. In the video games, the player can fight and capture Giratina to use it in battle against other Pokémon. Giratina has also appeared in other Pokémon media, including animated adaptations, merchandise and print media. Giratina has been well-received by critics and fans, drawing attention for its in-universe similarities to devils and similar theological figures, as well as the difficulty of its boss battle in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
