Origin Forme Palkia Moves in Pokémon GO
Be aware, Origin Forme Palkia can have a full Dragon type moveset. In this case, we recommend a team full of Fairy, that resists heavily against that moveset in particular.
If dragons are recommended, then it probably has Aqua Tail, Fire Blast or Hydro Pump as charge attack. So, in this case, long live the dragon supremacy.
