Palkia:
Palkia, along with Dialga, may be based on the Shinto legend ofIzanami and Izanagi, who are said to have created one island with aspear, erected a pillar on it, and from there created the islands ofJapan. Appearance-wise, Palkia is likely based after a European dragoncombined with a pearl. Its appearance may also be derived from thePlateosaurus or other bipedal dinosaurs such as Oviraptor orGigantoraptor due to its head crest and reminiscent body form. Thepresence of fins in their back, the fish-like head and the pearls arepossibly the reason for its Water type. Its secondary typing may alsooriginate from the weightlessness one experiences in water, such asthe fact that astronauts use water to train for space expeditions.

Dialga:
Dialga, along with Palkia, may be based on the Shinto legend ofIzanami and Izanagi, who are said to have created one island with aspear, erected a pillar on it, and from there created the islands ofJapan. Appearance-wise, Dialga seems to be based on short-neckedsauropod dinosaurs such as Cameosaurus or Brachytrachelopan while itshead is reminiscent of H. R. Giger’s Xenomorph, an extraterrestrialspecies that is the primary antagonist in the Alien franchise. Itstype is Steel possibly due to the hardness of diamonds, or the factthat most parts of a clock are made of metal, such as the gears. Itsturquoise pattern on its body is vaguely reminiscent to clock hands,interestingly, the ends of the “clock hands” are diamond-shaped.

Giratina:
Giratina is possibly based on a basilisk. In the Altered Forme, thewings may be based on a bat’s, and its body has an insect-like,six-legged feature, but its posture is similar to a sauropod. ItsOrigin Forme has a body similar to a serpent, while the sixprotrusions on its body may be based on a scorpion’s stinger. Howeverthis Forme also shares physical traits with the Amphitere, a Europeandragon-like creature with wings but no legs.

No one knows the origin of Pokemon…thats the mystery of them. They weren’t just summoned into existence.
They definitely are NOT based off of Izanagi and Izanami since that leaves no space for Giratina. The most correct assumption so far is that they are are the 3 forms of matter. Solid(steel) , Liquid(water) Gas(ghost) from the secondary types besides the dragon.
