The Palkia featured on this page recreates the Level 70 Palkia distributed during the アラモス’s Palkia Gift event for Pokémon Sword & Shield between August 2022 and September 2022. It arrives in a Cherish Ball with the original Trainer “アラモス” and Trainer ID 70714, the exact identifiers recorded in the live distribution.
What makes this version worth collecting: It arrives holding a Lustrous Orb — bonus items like this were part of the original handout and are preserved here. Its full four-move set (Spacial Rend, Hydro Pump, Aura Sphere, Earth Power) mirrors the event distribution, including any moves the species can't access through normal level-up or TMs. It carries 1 ribbon (Wishing) — ribbon data is often what separates event originals from later clones, and it's intact here.
1 IVs are fixed to the event values and the rest roll randomly, mirroring the original distribution behaviour. Ability is set to OnlyHidden, matching the event-programmed slot.
Every event Pokémon on GenPKM is built through the same PKHeX legality pipeline Pokémon HOME uses to validate deposits, so this Palkia passes HOME, transfers cleanly across the games its species is available in, and behaves identically to a Pokémon you'd obtain yourself. To add it to your save, open the Mystery Gift trade hub, pick the Sword & Shield list, and hit trade — the bot runs a Link Trade with you in under a minute once you're queued. If you're new to genning and want the honest answer on ban risk first, read Is Pokémon Genning Safe? before you trade.
Yes. Every event recreation on GenPKM is validated against PKHeX — the same legality rules Pokémon HOME uses on deposit. This Palkia from the アラモス’s Palkia Gift event passes HOME without any flags and moves freely between compatible games.
When was the アラモス’s Palkia Gift event originally distributed?
The アラモス’s Palkia Gift distribution for Pokémon Sword & Shield ran from August 26, 2022 to September 30, 2022. If you missed the live window, GenPKM rebuilds the exact distribution data so the Pokémon is still available to add to your collection.
Can Palkia normally learn these moves?
The move set (Spacial Rend, Hydro Pump, Aura Sphere, Earth Power) is the event's official preset. Some of these moves may not be available to Palkia through normal level-up or TM learning in Sword & Shield — which is part of what makes event distributions like this one collectible.
How do I receive this Pokémon on my game?
Sign in on GenPKM, open the Mystery Gift trade hub, pick the Sword & Shield event list, and select this event. Our trade bot starts a Link Trade with you and sends the Pokémon directly — it takes under a minute once you're at the front of the queue.
Can I use this event Pokémon in online battles?
Ranked Battle Stadium, Link Battles, Surprise Trade, and Pokémon HOME GTS all accept this Pokémon because its data passes every server-side check. Note that official VGC tournaments separately disallow any Pokémon not personally obtained in the tournament's legal game — that's a tournament rule and applies regardless of how the Pokémon was acquired.
