'''Pseudo-Palutena''' is the false version of [[Palutena]] seen during the events of ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'', and was created by [[Dyntos]] for one of his trials in Chapter 24: ''[[The Three Trials]]''. Unlike the past battle with Palutena, she doesn't have [[Chaos Kin]] lingering above her, and must be attacked directly.

At first, Pseudo-Palutena appears to look the same as Palutena appearance-wise. However, it turns out that her true face is rather vile and disgusting, looking like a comical zombie. Her skin tone is a slight purple, her face being the most dramatic change in her appearance. She has one mostly closed eye, while the other is creepily wide open. She also has a long tongue and a backwards 'P' on her forehead.

She also has a long tongue and the letter "P" written backwards in English games or the kanji "オレ" (''Ore'' meaning "Me") in Japanese games on her forehead.

After defeating [[Magnus]] and [[Dark Lord Gaol]] for the second time, Pit discovers his next opponent is Palutena. After a brief bit of banter with Dyntos, Pit believes she is just another copy created by the god, so he then tries to communicate with Palutena and discovers she is not answering.

Pit reluctantly attacks Palutena, who sounds much more violent then normal. After a few hits, she reveals her true face as "Pseudo-Palutena" and continues the fight. The second phase commences and increases the difficulty of the boss as her array of attacks increases.

After the battle, Palutena "wakes up", and believes she has fallen asleep during Pit's trial. It is revealed during the battle against the Great Sacred Treasure that Dyntos put Palutena to sleep temporarily and created Psuedo-Palutena to make it seem like Pit was fighting the actual goddess herself.

===Trophy Descirption===
'''NA Version''': ''A creation of Dyntos, the god of the forge, this distorted version of Palutena will attack Pit verbally and physically. Destroying her illusion of beauty only makes her more aggressive. Dyntos put the real Paluena to sleep during battle, forcing Pit to tackle this creature alone.''
 
'''PAL Version''': ''A fake Palutena that Dyntos, god of the forge, made for a laugh. Her face is...just...vile, and she's less than polite to Pit. While Pseudo-Palutena is on the scene, the real Palutena is elsewhere, sleeping soundly. That was Dyntos' work too, actually. He is seriously crafty! ''

*''[[wikipedia:Pseudo|Pseudo]]'', coming from Greek, means false or alternate. This prefix is a perfect fit for Dyntos' creation, revealing to us that Pseudo-Palutena is not a real goddess, but rather a fraudulent one.
