Scripted wild battle (Lv 95), Palkia’s space — Mt. Mortar B1F statue — After the final Hall of Fame and Lance’s visit to your house in Pallet Town. Enter Palkia’s space through the Mt. Mortar B1F statue; its Lustrous Orb dialogue does not enforce an item check. One chance: catching it, knocking it out or fleeing removes it; only losing allows a retry.
