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). | ||

The ''Dia'' in its name is derived from the word ''diamond'', even though the Japanese word for diamond is ダイヤモンド ''daiyamondo''. The "''ga''" part in its name may be a corruption of "''gon''", referring to its origin and type. Its name could also be a reference to a {{wp|Sundial|sun dial}}, which is used to tell the time, or a dial found on a clock.
