Any tips? The only items I get to use against him are the seeds I pick up on the 9 floors heading to him, and sometime my partner dies in the dungeon before I get to him, and when I get to him he uses spacial rend and dragonbreath and dragon claw... HELP!

First of all, are you taking items with you? At the very least, if you are having trouble with Spacial Rift, you should be taking an Escape Orb with you.

You haven't mentioned if this is part of the secondary storyline or if you are trying to recruit him. If it is in fact the storyline you are having problems with, levelling as much as you can on the lower floors of Spacial Rift is a good idea. It sounds like your defence and HP aren't high enough to deal with the attacks. If you don't need to recruit Palkia at the moment, I'd heartily suggest using the seeds you obtain getting to him and using room-wide moves like Blizzard and Discharge (particularly Blizzard. Remember, Palkia is a water/dragon, so do your type match-ups). Spacial Rend and Dragonbreath are generally not used so much when you are standing close, so get between your partner and Palkia.

If, however, you are post-secondary-storyline... explain to me why your bag isn't stuffed with reviver seeds if you are having this many problems? They aren't hard to obtain, in fact with a little luck you can purchase them every morning from the Kecleon twins! Go away, do some more missions and come back when you can take him on properly. Though this begs the question of how you beat him in the first place.

Hope that helps!

I'm doing the storyline, that's why I don't have good items with me.

Gather as many sleep seeds as you can as you go up. They'll proove useful against Palkia.

Yes but the problem is sometimes I don't get sleep seeds or reviver seeds.

Trust me I know the feeling... -_- Ok, well I didn't have much of a strategy against palkia. You should be able to pick up a FEW seeds on the way up to where he is. What pokemon are you and your partner? If possible, learn dig, it is really powerful and makes you immune to all of his attacks, the only thing you need to worry about it your partner dying before you attack. Get a good grass type if you can and if your partner is make sure you have some strong moves. Grass is great against Palkia (water/dragon type)

Of course, you will need a bit of luck against him, hoping that he doesn't use spacial rend or some other powerful attack. It took me a few tries but you'll get it. Make sure your level is pretty high too, I was like 69 or something but you don't need it that high!

I got it, I was level 61 and I did it. The problem was my partner kept dying when I used dig, and I'm fire and he's water, that's why I had so much trouble. Also sometimes moves don't damage him because of some special ability. Sorry, I beat him before I read your post pokeauras, but if I didn't your post would have definitely helped.

Yes. That "special ability" is the Intimidator IQ skill.

That's it. I couldn't remember the name of it. Thanks. Wish me luck against Darkrai.

I would, but considering that pokeauras pretty much just repeated everything I said before, there's not much point.

You'd best try a few times, before devising a strategy when you get to Darkrai.
I can't remember what I did, but I think it may be in the guide I wrote, which can be found in the FAQs/Guides section.

Either way, good luck with Darkrai.
