Giratina can change into its origin forme by holding the griseous orb.

As for the main question, I would recommend running a special attackingGiratina because of its access to decent coverage andSTABsuch as:

(Note: Giratina’sSTABalso gets a further 20% boost in damage when holding the Griseous Orb.)

These are just some examples of Giratina’s special attacking movepool in platinum, you can check the rest from my source:

edit:Draco Meteoris also a move of note that Giratina has access to.

edit: Giratina’s signature moveShadow Force, while physical-attacking, is also also something to be noted so for this reason I wouldn’t recommend running a -Atk nature as even when uninvested, the damage can still be considerable.
