The short version
Palkia is a Basic Water-type Pokémon with 120 HP, weak to Lightning and a retreat cost of 2. It is card 023 of 96 in Triumphant Light, printed at Rare, and it turns up in the Arceus pack. 26 cards in the expansion are rarer than this one. Opening for it means about 121 packs to be reasonably sure of one, which at 2 free packs a day is 2 months. The art is by toriyufu, who has 7 other cards in the game.
It soars across the sky in a form that greatly resembles the creator of all things. Perhaps this imitation of appearance is Palkia’s strategy for gaining Arceus’s powers.
