Dialga (Japanese: ディアルガ Diaruga) is a Steel/Dragon-type Legendary Pokémon. Dialga is the Version Mascot for the game Pokémon Diamond. It is Palkia's rival.

Biology

Physiology

Dialga is a sauropod-like Pokémon. It is mainly dark blue with some gray metallic portions, such as its chestplate, which has a diamond in the center. It also has various light blue lines all over its body. It has a somewhat wing-like structure on its back, and a crest on its head, resembling a type of dinosaur. Dialga also has two horns on top of its head, two fang-like horns around its mouth, long claws, and a short tail.

Dialga was created when Arceus hatched from it's egg and created the world. Arceus tasked Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina to create time, space, and anti-matter. Dialga was worshiped as the master of time and metal, as it is a steel type.

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 type Pokémon, can use many different elemental attacks. It is also one of the few Pokémon that can learn the move Aura Sphere. Capturing it gives you an item called the Adamant Orb, which powers Dialga's attacks.

Dialga is the only Pokémon that can learn the move Roar of Time, its signature move, aside from the special Event Pokémon Darkrai given in the Tenth Movie and in the Toys R' Us Nintendo World Tour, the Pokémon Smeargle, who can Sketch the move, Pokémon with Metronome, a Pokémon using Mirror Move immediately after Dialga uses the move, and a Level 100 special Event Arceus.

Evolution

Dialga does not evolve.

Game Info

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

Pokémon Diamond

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 Pokémon, this is not the only opportunity to encounter it. After defeating the Elite Four and Champion Cynthia, you may go back to the same spot and re-battle it.

Pokémon Platinum

After the player beats the game, Dialga, along with Palkia, can be caught at the Spear Pillar, but only with the Adamant Orb in your bag, which can be obtained from an old lady.

Dialga's seen using Roar of Time on Sharpedo Bluff in the opening. In the beginning of the future, a silhouette of Dialga with glowing red eyes will appear in the Pit. Later he's seen on close-up. He uses Roar Of Time (In the same animation as the intro) to turn into something. Much later, you're knocked away. An awful form of Dialga — Primal Dialga — appears. He challenges you and you fight him as the final boss. He appears in his Normal Form after you revive yourself. He says he "seeks the repair of Temporal Tower". After the credits, he once again uses Roar of Time. This time to restore the player to the timeline as thanks for saving him from remaining as Primal Dialga forever.

Dialga

Dialga had a role in all the Diamond and Pearl movies with the exception of Zoroark: Master of Illusions. Dialga had a major role in the The Rise of Darkrai where it battled against Palkia in between dimensions. Dialga played a minor role in Giratina and the Sky Warrior where Giratina attempted to capture Dialga for polluting its world in its battle against Palkia. Dialga played a major role (larger than Palkia's or Giratina's) in Arceus and the Jewel of Life, where it saved Pikachu and Piplup from whirlpools at the ruins.

In the manga

File:Diamon and pearl chapter.PNG

Diamond and Pearl face off against Dialga and Palkia.

In the manga, Dialga is being controlled by Cyrus and the red chain. Dialga uses its ability to control time for battling.

Trivia

Dialga has no known gender, but in the Mystery Dungeon games, it is referred to as a male.
Dialga is derived from "Diamond", as Palkia's is derived from the Japanese word for "Pearl". It may also be derived from dial, referring to its time-based capabilities.
No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Dialga.
Dialga is the only Dragon-type Pokémon not to be weak to Dragon-type moves.
Despite being able to levitate, it does not have the ability Levitate and thus remains susceptible to Ground type moves (unless taught Magnet Rise by the move tutor in Platinum).
In the anime, Dialga's rear spikes grow whenever it uses Roar of Time.
Dialga is the only legendary dragon in the quadrupedal class in the Pokédex. Palkia, Reshiram, Zekrom and Kyurem are bipedal, Rayquaza, Origin Giratina and Zygarde are snake-like, and Altered Giratina has six legs.
In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness, Dialga was the one who created the Hidden Land. Ironically, he is also restricted from going back there when on an adventure.
The fact that Dialga has to rest after using the move Roar of Time may refer to releasing the power of time and stopping itself from moving.

-[[File:DialgaAnime.png|thumb|left|Dialga]]
-Dialga had a role in all the Diamond and Pearl movies with the exception of Zorak Master of Illusions.
-Dialga had a major role in the Rise of Darkrai where it battled against Palkia in between dimensions. Dialga's Roar of Time cracked the pearl on Palkia's arm and forced Palkia to flee to Alamos town where the two had another spectacular battle with Dialga having the upper hand. When the sound disk was played from the Time-Space towers Dialga left to its own dimension.
-Dialga played a minor role in Giratina and the Sky Warrior where Giratina attempted to capture Dialga for polluting it's world in its battle against Palkia. Dialga tried to escape the Reverse world at least twice but Giratina managed to drag it back. Eventually it was able to escape thanks to Shaymin's Seed flare but not before trapping Giratina in an infinite time loop preventing it from leaving the Reverse world.
-Dialga played a major role (larger than Palkia's or Giratina's) in Arceus and the Jewel of Life where it saved Pikachu and Piplup from whirlpools at the ruins. It briefly battled Giratina when it arrived to capture Dialga again in revenge only to be stopped by Ash and Sheena convincing Giratina that Dialga had been misunderstood. Later when Arceus appeared to pass out it's judgement Dialga appeared alongside Palkia and Giratina to stop it. Dialga played a major role by transporting Ash and his friends back in time to stop Damos from betraying Arceus. Dialga was later healed alongside Palkia and Giratina by Arceus and flew off to its own dimension.
-Dialga also played a major role in The Battle Finale of Legend in the Diamond an Pearl Galactic Battles series alongside Palkia where Cyrus managed to control the two using the red chain. When Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf helped Ash and his friends destroy the chains Dialga and Palkia destroyed the portal created for Cyrus and thus saving them all.
-Dialga appears during the Indigo League Theme song.
-== Special Abilities ==

-*Dialga also has the least number of weaknesses of any legendary Pokemon (with the exception of Palkia which has only one which is Dragon but has hardly any resistances).
-Dialga's 2 weaknesses are:
-Fighting and
-Ground (without Magnet rise)
-*Dialga also is immune to Poison which is the best immunity to have, even better than Giratina's 2-3 immunities since Giratina has many more weaknesses and fewer resistances than Dialga.
