Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
In the future, i'd refrain from making pointless bumps to your own posts. The main problem is that Palkia isn't particularly great as a means of stopping Primal Kyogre (it doesn't really run Dragon Tail or Specs really, Primal Kyogre with Calm Mind boosts up). That said, it does function somewhat similarly to other means of managing Primal Kyogre in that it can be used to pivot to Primal Groudon. Also I would not argue that Palkia is an "incredible mon", it's not. It's a fair attacker and something like a 1-time pivot for Primal Kyogre.
When I said Palkia was an incredible mon what I meant was on its own, no Metagame what so ever Its a really good pokemon but in terms of its inclusion in the current Metagame, almost non existent.

in what context is it a good mon? 1v1 vs kyogre? no thanks we dont care just about that, and if you still have doubts, go figure out why rhyperior isn't used much even tho it counters hooh and mence
This compendium contains basic structures for teams and an array of possible mons for specific roles on teams.
we're looking from team pov, so the question will be "does feebly checking pogre warrant palkia place on the team?". the answer will almost always be "no", and if you're building teams thinking "oh this mon beats that mon 1v1, so lets add it to team" then that's a really bad approach, and you need to learn to think form team perspective
also, i strongly suggest you go to the ubers room and ask questions there, cos almost all your questions could've been answered there rather than have to rile up old and new threads alike with seemingly stupid questions. it's not even a one-time thing, which would be fine, but you've made it a habit to listen to logic and not try yourself to find the answer
cba to make long descriptions so didnt make a thread - fuck with me - (yes ive probably forgot evs somewhere)
posting all of these here because i have no desire to play this tier ever again in my life. everyone can have them they are built by me a lil help of a few others (hack, blim and reshirams) ps i have an arceus ground fettish deal with it, most teams can have ekiller instead but depends rly
original Deox-A offense hack used vs steelskitty and we both made not 'Pohjis ladder' u (BAN ME PLEASE)
