In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Diamond, Pearl]] and [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Platinum]] only, Dialga and Palkia were referenced as "mythical Pokémon" with a lowercase ''M'', seemingly a subset of rather than a distinct group from Legendary; it should be noted that this was prior to the use of the term Mythical with a capital ''M'' from Generation V and onwards, and was a translation of '''神話のポケモン''' ''mythical Pokémon'' rather than '''幻のポケモン''' ''Illusory Pokémon'', the latter of which is referenced by the currently-used English term Mythical.

The three members of this trio share the Ability {{a|Pressure}}, as well as the Hidden Ability {{a|Telepathy}}—however, Giratina's [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Giratina|Origin Forme]] has {{a|Levitate}}. Likewise, the three are the [[game mascot]]s of the three [[Generation IV]] [[Sinnoh]]-based games, and have similar level-up learnsets.

==History==

Each member of the trio have control over their own [[dimensions]]. Dialga controls time and Palkia controls space, two aspects of the {{wp|spacetime|four-dimensional universe}} that the [[Pokémon world]], like our own, is a part of. Giratina has control over antimatter and the [[Distortion World]], where time does not flow and space is unstable.

Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina all reappeared in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. When a harsh distortion appeared and almost got {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} abducted into the vortex, [[Sheena]] appeared on the scene and used her mysterious power to summon Dialga, who arrived and saved Pikachu and Piplup, then destroyed the vortex with {{m|Roar of Time}}. However, its presence drew in Giratina, who was still enraged at Dialga; it appeared from the lake and violently attacked Dialga. Sheena tried to communicate with it, but its rage ended up making the process difficult. However, Ash appeared and called out to Giratina; when it recognized Ash, it calmed down. Then, Sheena communicated with Giratina, telling it that it misunderstood Dialga and it should not battle it. Giratina then returned to the Reverse World in peace. However, another distortion appeared and Dialga ended up being trapped in the vortex. Luckily enough, Palkia appeared and used {{m|Spacial Rend}} to destroy this vortex, then bent space around Dialga to get it out of the vortex safely. Sheena then thanked Dialga and Palkia, and the two left in peace.
