It’s worth pointing out that you will not be able to get the Griseous Orb in Pokemon Crown Tundra until you’ve caught Giratina itself.

Giratina can be caught via a Dynamax Adventure. These require players to beat three dynamaxed Pokemon with the help of up to three friends or AI players. After being the first three Pokemon, players will take on a Dynamaxed Legendary Pokemon, and there’s a chance that Giratina could be who you face off against.

To catch Giratina, simply reduce its health down to nothing in the Dynamax Adventure and then throw a Poke Ball to catch it. Once you’ve got Giratina caught, add it to your party and get ready for the next steps.

As long as you’ve caught Giratina in Pokemon Crown Tundra, the NPC will explain that he’s found some mysterious items and have no idea how they work, so he gives them to you to figure out. The Griseous Orb is one of these that he’ll hand over.
