Dialga is a dark-blue, {{wp|sauropod}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with some gray metallic portions and light blue stripes. It has a chest plate on its torso, which has a deep blue diamond-like crystal embedded in the center. Dialga has a fin-like structure on its back, three spines on the back of its neck, and a crest on its head, resembling a dinosaur. The crest somewhat resembles the shape of a sundial's rod. It also has two structures on the sides of its head that extend outward and resemble horns and fangs. It has three claws on each foot, of the same metallic look as its chest plate. Faint cracks exist across its body. The fin-like structure on its back is shaped radiating outwards and can be used to focus the flow of time, as seen in | Dialga is a dark-blue, {{wp|sauropod}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with some gray metallic portions and light blue stripes.

Rather than walking on all fours, Dialga usually travels by levitation. | ||
Dialga has the power to control time; it can warp time by either speeding it up, slowing it down, reversing it, or stopping it altogether; it can also [[Time travel|travel through time]] to visit the past, present, and future. It also has the power to destroy and create time itself. As shown in the {{pkmn|anime}}, Dialga's temporal powers possess the ability to [[Devolution|devolve]] anything or anyone against their will: Pokémon, humans, and plants. It can even reverse these devolution effects. It is said that time started moving when Dialga was born and will continue flowing as long as Dialga's heart beats. | Dialga has the power to control time; it can warp time by either speeding it up, slowing it down, reversing it, or stopping it altogether; it can also [[Time travel|travel through time]] to visit the past, present, and future.

Dialga has the power to create a new universe by itself or with {{p|Palkia}}. As Dialga primarily resides in a different [[dimension]], its behavior is nearly impossible to study. In the dimension where Origin Forme Dialga lives in, time is said to be constantly moving in different directions and speeds.<ref>[https://legends.arceus.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/dialga/ Dialga (Origin Forme) | Pokémon Legends: Arceus Official Website]</ref> It has been shown to be very protective of its home. It also tends to have violent conflicts with its counterpart Palkia. | Dialga has the power to create a new universe by itself or with {{p|Palkia}}.

Dialga was revered as a deity in [[Sinnoh myths]]; in the past, it was worshipped by the [[Diamond Clan]], who referred to it as "almighty Sinnoh". Dialga is capable of [[Talking Pokémon|speaking through telepathy]], as seen when it communicates through the leader of the Diamond Clan, [[Adaman]]. Dialga and Palkia can control and spread the [[space-time distortion]]s caused by {{p|Giratina}}, which create [[alpha Pokémon]] and cause [[Noble Pokémon]] to go berserk. | Dialga was revered as a deity in [[Sinnoh myths]]; in the past, it was worshipped by the [[Diamond Clan]], who referred to it as "almighty Sinnoh".

* {{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness}} {{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|& Sky}}: Dialga appears in the main storyline, but mostly as [[Primal 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 collapsing Tower, they must beat almost-Primal Dialga in battle and restore the Tower. After putting some sense into it, Dialga is so grateful that it revives the player (who was erased from existence). After going back to Dialga at the top of Temporal Tower, it decides that the player wants a rematch. Once defeated, Dialga joins the player's team. | * '''{{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness}} {{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|& Sky}}: Dialga''' appears in the main storyline, but mostly as [[Primal Dialga]].
