Dialga (Japanese: ディアルガ Dialga) is a dual-type Steel/Dragon legendary Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Dialga is the version mascot of Pokémon Diamond, appearing on the boxart.

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 spots. 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.

Gender differences

Dialga is a genderless species.

Special abilities

Dialga has the ability to warp time by either speeding it up, slowing it down, or stopping it altogether.

Similar to most other Dragon-types, Dialga is capable of wielding various elemental attacks (except for Water attacks). Dialga can also utilize several Ground-, Rock- and Steel-type moves. It is one of the few Pokémon that can use Aura Sphere.

Dialga's powers can be amplified by the Adamant Orb.

Dialga is the only known Pokémon that learns Roar of Time (apart from an event Darkrai, event Arceus, and Smeargle).

Behavior

Being that Dialga primarily resides in a different dimension, its behavior is nearly impossible to study. However, it has been observed in violent conflicts with Palkia.

Habitat

Dialga lives in another dimension, and can only be summoned to the main Pokémon universe by using the Red Chain. This dimension, as shown in the twelfth movie, is blue and full of floating diamonds and also the pathway through different time.

In the games, Dialga is located in Spear Pillar at Mt. Coronet.

In the anime

Dialga appeared in the first three Diamond & Pearl series Pokémon movies. It was first shown in The Rise of Darkrai, where it fought with Palkia and Darkrai in a battle that nearly destroyed Alamos Town. The same Dialga appeared in Giratina and the Sky Warrior. On its return trip back to its own dimension, Dialga ended up in the Reverse World and got attacked by Giratina. The Renegade Pokémon had been angered by Dialga and Palkia's fight in the previous movie. Dialga's final movie appearance was in Arceus and the Jewel of Life. It was shown for the first time with both the other members of its trio. After being called by Sheena to stop a spatial distortion, it briefly fought with Giratina once more. Later, it returned to help Palkia and Giratina fight Arceus, and sent Sheena, Ash and his friends back in time to fix Arceus's betrayal.

Dialga's anime debut was in Battle Finale of Legend!, in the conclusion of Team Galactic's plot at Mt. Coronet. Statues of Dialga had previously appeared in A Secret Sphere of Influence!, Journey to the Unown!, Losing Its Lustrous!, Double Team Turnover!, Steeling Peace of Mind!, Saving the World From Ruins!, and Bagged Then Tagged!.

Dialga also makes a cameo in the Together and Diamond and Pearl openings.

In the manga

In Pokémon DP Adventure!, Hareta and Mitsumi set out on a journey with the intention of finding the god-like Pokémon, Dialga. Oddly, Palkia does not receive a mention until the fifth volume.

In the Movie 12 manga adaption, Dialga, along with the members of its trio, was summoned by Sheena to help Ash and his friends. Dialga, Palkia, Giratina battle Arceus and it soon puts Sheena and the others in the past to uncover the betrayal Sheena's ancestor made.

In the TCG

Other appearances

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Dialga appears as a stage Pokémon in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, along with Palkia, Cresselia, and the lake guardians on the stage Spear Pillar. It affects the stage much differently than that of its counterpart, such as slowing down time, and even going off of its post to attack the players in the middle. It can also distort the stage, like Palkia, but only slightly and not as extreme, as well as shoot beams from various locations.

Game data

NPC appearances

• Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness: Dialga appears in the main storyline, but mostly as Primal Dialga (Japanese: やみのディアルガ Dark Dialga). In the future, because of the collapse of the Temporal Tower, Dialga has lost control of itself and has entered a state of self-preservation, keeping time frozen and refusing to let it flow properly. When the player and partner return from the future and arrive at the Tower, soon to collapse, they have to battle Dialga, having almost turned Primal, to put some sense into it and restore the Tower. After this, Dialga is so grateful that it revives the player (who was erased from existence).
• Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia: Dialga appears as a bonus boss during one of the Ranger Net extra missions. Dialga was injured from a battle with Palkia and entered Almia Castle to recover. It caused a time distortion due to its wounds and sent the main character and Wendy back in time to before the events of the game started by using Roar of Time.
