i mean i wouldn't be surprised but at the same time i don't remember where that happened. Also, Primals can just scale somewhat above their base formsNo idea. Just what I've heard over and over again since Gen 6.

Makes senseThe rules of the Distortion World are made by him, so it makes no sense that they could harm him (the rules are part of himself, after all).
Useless thenadaptability? However, it is not very clear
ThisINTRODUCTION
Before I begin. I want to clear up a couple of misunderstandings here. And that is in relation to the anime depiction of the Distortion World.
The anime depiction of the DW is entirely different from the games.
Even Bulbapedia has them in separate pages. You can compare them here and here. And it's agreed that by Pokémon Canon hierarchy, Primary Canon holds sway over anything else, so significant contradictions like these cannot be used against the primary canon. Here and Here.
Anti-Matter(Pokémon) ≠ Anti-Matter in Physics
Okay so generally we've been under the impression for many years that Giratina is the concept of anti matter, specifically anti matter in physics. Well, that's false. I'll be using the mainline games for this. There was only one instance, in the mainline games that "Anti-Matter" was ever mentioned, that's here. Truth? That was never mentioned in Japanese translation.
The anti-matter the English version said, makes it seem like anti matter in physics, but that is not what it meant at all. Its Masuda who made that clarification on what that meant , the English version threw it in and never explained it, which is why we've never seen Giratina use irl anti matter ever in the series(Just Look at the justification of Anti matter manipulation on his profile) Back to Masuda. He clarified it as a paradox of space and time(the opposite universe, an anti-world, opposite world by the games). The Universe comprises two things: Substance(physical) and Spirit(Metaphysical), textbook definition of Existence . A paradox of existence is the state of existence which does not exist. Which he further explained here and mentioned here. These are paradoxes. An existence that doesn't exist. Contradictions. That which exists but actually doesn't. Those who ventured into it, didn't feel anything at all, and couldn't even interact with it. A place of nothingness. Even It's Avatars appear can't exist within the real world, appearing as shadows. Although it seems to be able manifest physical form, possibly with the help of the Griesious orb
Duality of The Pokémon World
In Pokémon, there are two different multiverses. The Pokémon reality(Existence) , and the Distortion world(Nonexistence) . The Distortion world is a strange place where the laws of the Pokémon reality doesn't apply, and has distorted laws of cause and effect. A place where the world's logic doesn't apply. Describe by Cyrus as like a DNA strand, where one can't exist without the other and they keep each other in balance. Both of the opposites. Which is what inspired Giratina's battle music. Opposing concepts. Life/death, Front/back.(source: https://www.ign.com/articles/2009/03/21/pokemon-creators-get-personal). Basically, the Pokémon world and DW is a Duality. The DW is the Chaos and nonexistence which supports the Order and Existence of the Real Multiverse. Which is why anyone who breaks the rules of the Pokémon world would be dragged into the Distortion world of chaos as punishment
Full Interview here btw
Conclusion 1
A. Giratina would have NEP Nature type 1, Aspect Type 1, 2 and 3. Material non-existence for being nonexistence itself and being the concept of Nothingness. It both exits, as is a reflection, and does not exists, as it's just a reflection. Giratina lacks spirit(mind and soul) , you see, the spirit is necessary for every living being (pokémon or human) to perceive the world, which is possible only thanks to the LT that bound Time and Space by means of the Red-chain. All of this doesn't exist in the Distortion World since that world doesn't need to be perceived by normal living beings. An explanation about this is contained in the Hiker's speech and from Cogita
Subjective Idealism in Pokemon?
It should also be clarified on his profile that anti-matter is not referring to the anti-matter in physics, but it describes his nature as a paradox of existence. Essentially, he's nothing and embodies the concept of Nothingness. Not antimatter in physics, but anti-existence, anti-reality, also known as Nothingness/Nonexistence. Opposite world, universe, existence, reality etc. Nothingness
B. Giratina should have void manipulation and Creation. It can materialize things out of the nothingness in the distortion world, as a puzzle to test the player
C. Chaos manipulation The Distortion world is a place of chaos. Where the rules of time and space change. The Pokémon world's logic doesn't apply there, which also applies to causality. Giratina has control over the forces of chaos over there, just as Dialga and Palkia have full control over their dimensions.
D. Giratina should have full Acausality type 4. The DW exists beyond the concepts of time and space, and runs on a different laws/systems, including the law of cause and effect of the Real world
NB: All these apply to its True Form(The DW) and not avatars.Sealed outside the multiverse because reasons
LLAMA History Lesson
As for Llama, he's more of a Non-Dual Existence really.
Literally Pure Awareness in NonDualism word for word
Well, we just wait for GF to say the magic words, then TD 2 is up
He had no cause for his existence, only an effect. He simply appeared. Encompasses the Multiverse yet simultaneously exists outside of it in its truest form and transcends it, including the concepts of time, space, matter, Spirit, and nonexistence, and all systems/laws/rules within them. These are merely extensions, products of his awareness.
A. Acausality type 4, possibly type 5, as the he exists beyond the multiverse, including the ordinary law of cause and effect of the Pokémon world, and the irregular (Acausal) one of the Distortion world. Time and space being merely extensions of him and certainly have no effect on his being as he doesn't need them for his existence(predates them all) . Certainly superior to the paradoxical Distortion World. And again, all these laws/systems/concepts are just extensions he doesn't need for himself. Which is why he exists outside of it. He's akin to a big house, and the everything in the Pokéverse are the furniture within them
B. TD 1 And NEP Nature Type 2, Aspect Type 1,2,3 and 4. Lacks any discernable existence nor nonexistence to be tied to reality or unreality as every concept that can be tied to some sort of existence is a concept that he's independent of and doesn't need to maintain his existence (Time, space, matter, spirit, Nonexistence). Exists beyond and transcends the duality of the Pokéverse in extension.
B. Immortality type 5. Neither exists nor doesn't exist. As the very concepts, of physical, metaphysical and non existent aspects of reality are seperate entities that have been conceptualized from his being. Including the Pokéverse and the DW world where life sparkles and Fades respectively
C. Resistances to CM. The only concept that existed before he came was Nothingness, also mentioned in the Pokedex entry ........ And it turns out that even that nothing is also merely an aspect of his being (Giratina)
NB: Nep, immortality and CM resistances only applies to true form, and not avatars.
C. List of Abilities For Arceus Profile
1. Fate Manipulation via upscaling from Jirachi.
2. Illusion Creation and Madness Manipulation type 3(replace type 2 with this) via upscaling from Hisuian Zoroark.
3. Passive unconventional resistances to to stats reduction( Reversing effects of stat manip via Contrary, Reflecting the effects of stat reduction via mirror armor)
When you talk about nothingness here you should add also this Pokédex entry of Arceus. Otherwise it seems ok.C. Resistances to CM. The only concept that existed before he came was Nothingness........ And it turns out that even that nothing is also merely an aspect of his being (Giratina)
yes and anyone who ends up scaling to emI guess this would only apply to anime Leon?
Leon vs Alain, a 3v3. At least High 6-C
don't think there will be an SV seriesGets stomped by Pikachu, who'll lose to Sprigatito in S/V series
that already happened in Alola thoughWhat are your theories.
I'm kinda betting on a universe hopping adventure
AFAIK, yes. In the way that it's harder to understand what Arceus is, than it is to understand the Theory of Everything in-universe.So if Arceus created the very concept of knowledge, will it be a wrong assumption that he'd scale above anything humans can conceive off of their thoughts?
So all the big math, science, philosophy, dualistic thoughts etc, all these concepts are only limited understandings humans have over reality, even more limited than that, is the True nature of Almighty (also Omnipotent) Sinnoh. As mentioned in PLA
In a way, I like the way his true form is being portrayed as even beyond the understanding of humans. Keeps the God status in check.AFAIK, yes. In the way that it's harder to understand what Arceus is, than it is to understand the Theory of Everything in-universe.
Who?Dialga killed the mvp
true, it was fun to watchMehn, it's criminal that it's only 3 episodes
Arceus: and now Mega Rayquaza exists, I hope you’re happyDialga: Hey..... Hey Palkia. You know what would be funny.....
Palkia: If we made an alternate timeline where mega stones exist?
Dialga: You know it bro! Let's do it
Palkia: Should we ask Arceus first?
Dialga: He doesn't need to know! We'll be fine
Approximately 2 minutes later
Arceus: YOU GUYS, WHAT THE ACTUAL FU-
Mega Rayquaza: ÆEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEÄArceus: and now Mega Rayquaza exists, I hope you’re happy
Not exactly. The Original One obtained the power of types from the Giants and then infused them in stone tablets. The plates are not the source of the types. The Original One is the source. If you destroy a plate nothing happens, the plates aren't even unique, there are multiple copies of every single one. You can find other copies digging in the Underground. Moreover, the Shards are implied aslo to be broken plates.I'm assuming destroying each plate will erase all the powers connected to it, as it's the origin and Essense of all the powers. Like here:
“The powers of Plates are shared among Pokémon.”
