Giratina's Detailed Stats

Below you'll find a more detailed table containing Giratina's calculated stats, which are the stats that you actually see displayed in game. These are affected by a variety of things, such as level, Effort Values (EVs), Individual Values (IVs), and Giratina's Nature.

By default, the stats you see in the table below show four different possibilities, all assuming Giratina is level 100: its stats with 0 EVs, 252+ (max) EVs, 0 IVs, and 31 (max) IVs. Nature is not shown by default, so its maximum is 10% higher than shown here, and minium 10% lower.

If you're looking for where to find Giratina, you'll find the various methods listed down below, along with any notes or special locations. This should help you figure out how to get Giratina in Pokémon Sword & Shield. (Currently this does not show most "strong" static encounters or Max Raid Battles.)

Special Ways to Get Giratina
