Dialga (ディアルガ Dialga) is Steel/Dragon-type Legendary Pokémon. Dialga serves as the Version Mascot for the game Pokémon Diamond.

Dialga has a blue body, with white spikes coming out of its neck. On its back there is a fan shaped limb. It has a long straight neck with a head on top. It is Dinosaur-like, and is very similar to Palkia. It has a grey chest plate featuring a Diamond on. Dialga has long claws and a short tail. Dialga's signature attack is "Roar of Time". An attack that does a lot of damage depending on what the target is. It's brother, or mainly comrad Palkia, (PAL-KEE-UH) is another strong foe. A great edition to have in the game "Pokemon Pearl Version". If you want to catch it in the game, than I suggest you stock up on net balls. Dialga, on the other hand, can be found in the same place as Palkia, Mt. Coronet, except in Pokemon Diamond Version. With Dialga. I suggest that you should buy lots of ultra balls.

[edit] Special Abilities

Dialga has the ability Pressure, which causes the opposing Pokémon to use twice as much PP for every successful hit.

Additionally, Dialga has the ability to control time. Dialga, like many other Dragon Pokémon, can use many various elemental attacks. He is also one of the few Pokemon that can learn the move Aura Sphere. Capturing it gives an item called the Adamant Orb, which powers Dialga's attacks.

Dialga is the only Pokemon that can learn the move Roar of Time, its signature move, aside from the special Event Pokemon Darkrai given in the Tenth Movie and in the Toys R' Us Nintendo World Tour, the Pokemon Smeargle, who can Sketch the move, and Pokémon with Metronome.

[edit] In Game

Following the trend of the Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire games, Dialga is fought as part of the game's storyline.

After chasing Team Galactic through Mt. Coronet in Pokémon Diamond, the player ends up on the summit, also known as Spear Pillar. When there, Cyrus will use the Red Chain he crafted from Uxie, Azelf, and Mesprit to call up Dialga. After defeating Cyrus, the Dialga seemingly waits to battle the player. As is with other legendary Pokemon, this is the only opportunity to encounter it.
