Editor analysis

Once the mascot of the format, Giratina's play has declined in recent seasons. It is weak to both of its sub-typings and no longer stands out as the best Ghost or the best Dragon. Even so, it's still plenty competitive. The regular version has the longest tenure and can make more reliable use of Shadow Force.
