Origin Forme Palkia weaknesses in Pokemon GO
Origin Forme Palkia is a Water/Dragon-type Pokemon, which means it's weak to Fairy and Dragon-type moves. Your best bet will be to use a team of Fairy and Dragon-types with moves that match their typing so they can deal STAB damage.
Dragon-types may be weak to Palkia's own Dragon-type moves, so bear that in mind. Fairy is the best counter to Palkia, but generally, there are more good Dragon-types in the game including various Legendary Pokemon, so those end up on top.
