Dialga is the [[game mascot]] of {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Diamond|s}} and its [[remake]] {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Pokémon Brilliant Diamond}}, appearing on the box art of both games in its standard form.


Along with {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Giratina}}, it is a member of the [[creation trio]] of [[Sinnoh]], representing {{wp|time}}. In the past, it was worshipped by the [[Diamond Clan]] under the name "almighty Sinnoh" (Japanese: シンオウさま ''Shin'ou-sama'').

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. 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 can be used to focus the flow of time, as seen in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}} and {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}. Rather than walking on all fours, Dialga usually travels by levitation.

Rather than walking on all fours, Dialga usually travels by levitation.


Said to be the Pokémon's true form, Dialga's Origin Forme is drastically different from the usual sauropod-like look of its other forme, being a hybrid between it, a dragon, and a [[wikipedia:Centaur|centaur]], while also resembling its creator, {{p|Arceus}}. The back legs of Dialga become unguligrade in shape and have pointed tips instead of feet. The front legs are noticeably larger, with three distinct rhomb-shaped claws on the underside. Further up, Dialga's knees have rectangular, long and thin protrusions. Its chest plate is gone; however, it has a similar polygonal shape in its place. On Dialga's neck is a large shape jutting out towards the front, along with two pairs of protrusions on either side, the upper pair being larger and resembling panels or wings. Inside this large shape and wing-like protrusions are deep blue diamond-like crystals, embedded into diamond-shaped grooves. The three spines located on the back of the neck are longer and sharper. Dialga's head has two thin arrow-shaped horns extending towards the top and back of its head, along with longer fang-like horns connected to a plate mask covering its lower jaw, which can shift in angle to reveal the mouth. The plate mask also partly covers the arrow-shaped horns on their sides. Around Dialga's abdomen is a cross comprised of four arrow shapes attached to a small wheel, reminiscent of Arceus's cross-wheel. The fin-like plate on Dialga's posterior has a star-shaped layer on top of it. The tail is much shorter and crystal-shaped. Overall, Dialga's entire body becomes larger and nearly completely dark blue. The crest, arrow-shaped horns, knee protrusions and abdomen cross are light blue, while the tips of Dialga's fin-like plate and feet are dark gray. Dialga's transformation into its Origin Forme is triggered by a radiant light; it can also be invoked using the [[Adamant Crystal]].
Dialga has the power to control time; it can warp time by either speeding it up, slowing it down, 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 [[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.

In its Origin Forme, Dialga can even unleash meteors and shockwaves. The crystals and light blue accents on Dialga's body glow brightly when it uses its powers.


Dialga has the power to create a new universe by itself or with {{p|Palkia}}. As Dialga primarily resides in a [[Dimensions|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.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 is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Roar of Time}}. Dialga can use Roar of Time to distort time itself when the move generates enough power. The move can also be charged into a more powerful version of itself while Dialga is in its Origin Forme, as seen in the boss battle in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.

===Forms===
Dialga can change between its standard form and its Origin Forme.

The back legs of Dialga become unguligrade in shape and have pointed tips instead of feet. The front legs are noticeably larger, with three distinct rhomboid claws on the underside.

Origin Forme Dialga can unleash meteors and shockwaves. The crystals and light blue accents on Dialga's body glow brightly when it uses its powers.

===Form data===
{{Evobox-1
Along with the other members of the [[creation trio]], Dialga has the ability to switch to a second form: Origin Forme.
|type1=Steel
 
|type2=Dragon
The standard form of Dialga first debuted in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, and its Origin Forme was introduced in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Dialga transforms into its Origin Forme while holding an [[Adamant Crystal]]. In Legends: Arceus, it changes between its standard form and Origin Forme when exposed to an Adamant Crystal. If it is deposited in {{g|HOME}}, it will revert to its standard form.

===Forms===
The forms differ in their [[base stats]]: Dialga's Origin Forme has decreased {{stat|Attack}} and increased {{stat|Special Defense}} compared to its standard form, though its base stat total is the same. In Legends: Arceus, its [[signature move]], {{m|Roar of Time}}, has modified base power and accuracy when used by its Origin Form, as well as a unique animation.
