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

Appearance

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. 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.

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 various elemental attacks. It 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, Pokémon with Metronome, a Pokemon using Mirror Move immediately after Dialga uses the move, and a Level 100 special Event Arceus.

Game Info

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.

In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Explorers of Darkness games, Primal Dialga is the main boss of the game and is found at the end of chapter twenty. After finishing the main storyline, the player can choose to fight Dialga and have him join their team. Dialga is seen using Roar Of Time on Sharpedo bluff in the opening. In the begining of the future, a silhouette of Dialga with glowing red eyes will appear in the Pit. Later he is seen on closeup. He uses Roar Of Time ( In the same animation as the intro ) to turn into something. Much later, you are knocked away. An awful form of Dialga-- Primal Dialga-- appears. He challanges 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.

Trivia

  • No other pokémon has the same type combo as Dialga.
  • Despite able to levitate it does not have levitate ability and thus remains susceptible to Ground type moves.
