Despite Dragon Tail having better stats than Dragon Breath, it’s better to go for the latter one in PvP due to how easy it is to spam it.

For the Charged Move, players should go with Spacial Rend, as it is Origin Forme Palkia’s signature move and even has an Adventure Effect to benefit the player during combat. However, it’s worth noting you can only obtain this move by capturing the Pokemon during special events.

If you want to have a different coverage while providing shield pressure, you can always exchange Spacial Rend for Aqua Tail.
