3
Catch Palkia in Omega Ruby or Dialga in Alpha Sapphire, depending on which version of the game you have.
4
Trade for the other legendary that is not available in your version - Dialga in Omega Ruby and Palkia in Alpha Sapphire. If you have a working internet connection, the easiest way to do this is through using the GTS. Otherwise, you'll want to ask a friend or family member who owns the other version to trade with you.
5
Place both Dialga and Palkia into your party.
6
Use the Eon Flute to summon Latios/Latias and soar into the sky.
7
Near Dewford City, look for a tear in the sky. Interact with the tear to encounter Giratina.

How can I get Palkia?

Community Answer

Go soaring with Azelf, Uxie, and Mesprit in your team and you'll find a tear in the space-time continuum near Dewford Town. Enter this tear and you will fight Palkia in Omega Ruby and Dialga in Alpha Sapphire. If you want to get Palkia in Alpha Sapphire, you'll have to get it by trade.

What if I have traded one of the lake trio?
