==Biology==
==Biology==
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 [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]].
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 the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series|Mystery Dungeon series]]. 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 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. The 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, 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 over 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. 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 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 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 through a lightning bolt that comes out of the space-time distortions.

Dialga is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Roar of Time}}; the move can also be charged into a more powerful version while the Pokémon is in its Origin Forme, as seen in the boss battle in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]. With Roar of Time, Dialga can distort time itself when the move generates enough power.
===Forms===
Dialga can change between its standard form and its Origin Forme.


==In the anime==
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 rhomboid 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.

[[File:Dialga anime movie 12.png|thumb|250px|Dialga in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[File:Primal Dialga anime.png|thumb|250px|Primal Dialga in the anime]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Dialga (movie)]]=====
Dialga made its physical debut in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', where it fought with {{mov|Palkia}} and {{OBP|Darkrai|M10}} in a {{pkmn|battle}} that nearly destroyed [[Alamos Town]]. It then briefly reappeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. During its trip back to its own dimension, Dialga ended up in the [[Reverse World]] and got attacked by {{mov|Giratina}}, who had been angered by Dialga and Palkia's fight in the previous movie.


In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', Dialga was shown for the first time with both the other members of [[Creation trio|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 {{OBP|Arceus|M12}}. After being injured, it sent Sheena, {{Ash}}, and {{ashfr}} [[Time travel|back in time]] to fix Arceus's betrayal.
Dialga is at its full power when in the Origin Forme and is supposedly, permanently in it while in its home dimension. Dialga's transformation into its Origin Forme is triggered by a radiant light; it can also be invoked using the [[Adamant Crystal]]. Origin Forme Dialga can unleash meteors and shockwaves, while its {{m|Roar of Time}} technique can be charged into a stronger version of itself as seen in its boss battle in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. The crystals and light blue accents on Dialga's body glow brightly when it uses its powers.

;Primal Dialga
A unique {{pkmn2|variant}} of Dialga, called [[Primal Dialga]] resembles a normal Dialga with a darkened color. The main body is colored dark blue. The center diamond-like crystal is colored dark orange. The lines in its body are also orange.


=====Dialga (recurring)=====
Primal Dialga cannot control time due to it being tampered with. It acts much more agressive than Dialga normally it. It can still use its time abilites to some extent. It can also prevent others from time traveling, even cancelling out {{p|Celebi}}'s time powers.
A Dialga appeared in ''[[JN089|The Gates of Warp!]]'' and ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]'', where it was a target of [[Alternate World Team Rocket]], along with {{OBP|Palkia|recurring}}. Using a [[Red Chain]], Team Rocket forced the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] to fight, creating time distortions that caused Pokémon to start [[Devolution|devolving]] and eventually revert into {{pkmn|Egg}}s, which Team Rocket would then steal and raise to be their own. The battle was finally stopped when Ash, {{an|Dawn}}, [[Goh]], [[Chloe]], and their alternate world counterparts prayed for {{p|Arceus}} to do so. Freed from the Red Chain, Dialga and Palkia then undid all the devolutions their battle had caused.


=====[[Primal Dialga]]=====
{| style="margin:auto; text-align:center; font-size:80%"
In ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]'', Primal Dialga was the protector of the [[Time Gear]]s.

=====Other=====

In ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', Dialga and Palkia were summoned by [[Cyrus]] on the [[Spear Pillar]]. They were put under his control through the use of the Red Chain and were tasked by him to open a portal to another dimension, wanting a world of his own. After the Red Chain's destruction and Cyrus's exit, Dialga and Palkia rampaged, creating a danger for [[Sinnoh]]. However, the two were calmed down and sent away with the help of the {{an|lake guardians}}.

In ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', Dialga was one of six Legendary Pokémon summoned and hypnotized by the shadow {{form|Hoopa|Hoopa Unbound}} as its reinforcements. It and its teammates engaged in a battle against the {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{Shiny}} {{p|Rayquaza}} summoned to protect the real {{an|Hoopa}} in [[Dahara City]]. Eventually, after the shadow Hoopa was sealed in a [[Prison Bottle]], the hypnosis on Dialga and the other Legendary Pokémon was lifted, and Dialga departed for its home.

===={{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}====
Dialga first appeared in ''[[PS410|Creeping Away from Cradily]]''. Dialga, along with Palkia, was summoned by [[Cyrus]] in order to create a new world. Cyrus used the Red Chains to force Dialga and Palkia to fight each other in order to distort time and space and create a portal that would swallow the existing world. {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}} and {{adv|Platinum}} worked together with their Pokémon to free Dialga and Palkia from their controlled states.
 
Later on, an accident with handling [[Charon]]'s machine caused Dialga, Palkia and Cyrus to be dragged into the portal before it closed completely.
 
===={{chap|Platinum}}====
It was revealed that {{p|Giratina}} imprisoned both Dialga and Palkia in the [[Distortion World]] before setting off into the current dimension to wreak havoc. Soon, Cyrus and Diamond met in the Distortion World, and agreed to free Dialga and Palkia using their Pokémon. Dialga and Palkia later resumed their struggle against Giratina in the Distortion World.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[File:SSBBSpearPillarDialga.png|thumb|250px|Dialga on the {{St|Spear Pillar}} stage in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
Dialga appears as a stage Pokémon along with {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, and the [[lake guardians]] on the stage {{St|Spear Pillar}}. It affects the stage much differently than that of its counterpart, such as slowing down time, and even going off 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.
 
====Trophy information====
''A Temporal Pokémon. This legendary Pokémon is talked about as a deity in fables passed down through generations in the Sinnoh region. Identifiable by the diamondlike crystal in the center of its chest, Dialga is said to have set time in motion at the moment of its birth. Its fearsome {{m|Roar of Time}} attack is so powerful that it must refrain from attacking on the next turn. It is Diamond's mascot.''
 
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]===
Dialga appears as a trophy.
 
====Trophy information====
''The concept of time has always been one of the world's great mysteries, but Dialga might hold the answer. Legend has it that Dialga's birth caused time to begin moving! It's no surprise that the people of Sinnoh see this Pokémon as a deity. If you're ever running late, maybe you could ask Dialga to do you a favour and turn back the clock.''
 
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
[[File:SSBUSpearPillarDialga.png|thumb|250px|Dialga on the {{St|Spear Pillar}} stage in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]]]
Dialga reprises its role as a stage hazard on the returning {{St|Spear Pillar}} stage. Spear Pillar now allows for any of the three Legendary Pokémon to appear each time, rather than being set for the whole match. Unlike in ''Brawl'', Cresselia is now signified by the stage's color tint not changing from its new default green, rather than using Dialga's blue. Dialga also appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}.

===Form data===
Along with the other members of the [[Pokémon of Myth]], Dialga has the ability to switch to a second form: Origin Forme.


===Forms===
The standard form of Dialga first debuted in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, and its Origin Forme was introduced in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. In Legends: Arceus, it changes between its standard form and Origin Forme when exposed to an [[Adamant Crystal]]. In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Dialga transforms into its Origin Forme while holding an Adamant Crystal. If it is deposited in {{g|HOME}}, it will revert to its standard form.

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.

[[File:Primal Dialga anime.png|thumb|250px|Primal Dialga in the anime]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Dialga (movie)]]=====
Dialga made its physical debut in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', where it fought with {{mov|Palkia}} and {{OBP|Darkrai|M10}} in a {{pkmn|battle}} that nearly destroyed [[Alamos Town]]. It then briefly reappeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. During its trip back to its own dimension, Dialga ended up in the [[Reverse World]] and got attacked by {{mov|Giratina}}, who had been angered by Dialga and Palkia's fight in the previous movie.
In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', Dialga was shown for the first time with both the other members of the [[Pokémon of Myth]]. 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 {{OBP|Arceus|M12}}. After being injured, it sent Sheena, {{Ash}}, and {{ashfr}} [[Time travel|back in time]] to fix Arceus's betrayal.
=====Dialga (recurring)=====
A Dialga appeared in ''[[JN089|The Gates of Warp!]]'' and ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]'', where it was a target of [[Alternate World Team Rocket]], along with {{OBP|Palkia|recurring}}. Using a [[Red Chain]], alternate Team Rocket forced the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] to fight, creating time distortions that caused Pokémon to start [[Devolution|devolving]] and eventually revert into {{pkmn|Egg}}s, which Team Rocket would then steal and raise to be their own. The battle was finally stopped when Ash, {{an|Dawn}}, [[Goh]], [[Chloe]], and their alternate world counterparts prayed for {{p|Arceus}} to do so. Freed from the Red Chain, Dialga and Palkia then undid all the devolutions their battle had caused.
=====[[Primal Dialga]]=====
In ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]'', Primal Dialga was the protector of the [[Time Gear]]s.
=====Other=====
In ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', Dialga and Palkia were summoned by [[Cyrus]] on the [[Spear Pillar]]. They were put under his control through the use of the Red Chain and were tasked by him to open a portal to another dimension, wanting a world of his own. After the Red Chain's destruction and Cyrus's exit, Dialga and Palkia rampaged, creating a danger for [[Sinnoh]]. However, the two were calmed down and sent away with the help of the {{an|lake guardians}}.
In ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', Dialga was one of six Legendary Pokémon summoned and hypnotized by the shadow {{form|Hoopa|Hoopa Unbound}} as its reinforcements. It and its teammates engaged in a battle against the {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{Shiny}} {{p|Rayquaza}} summoned to protect the real {{an|Hoopa}} in [[Dahara City]]. Eventually, after the shadow Hoopa was sealed in a [[Prison Bottle]], the hypnosis on Dialga and the other Legendary Pokémon was lifted, and Dialga departed for its home.

===Pokémon Adventures===

===={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}====
Dialga first appeared in ''[[PS410|Creeping Away from Cradily]]''. Dialga, along with Palkia, was summoned by [[Cyrus]] in order to create a new world. Cyrus used the Red Chains to force Dialga and Palkia to fight each other in order to distort time and space and create a portal that would swallow the existing world. {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}} and {{adv|Platinum}} worked together with their Pokémon to free Dialga and Palkia from their controlled states.
Later on, an accident with handling [[Charon]]'s machine caused Dialga, Palkia and Cyrus to be dragged into the portal before it closed completely.
===={{MangaArc|Platinum}}====
It was revealed that {{p|Giratina}} imprisoned both Dialga and Palkia in the [[Distortion World]] before setting off into the current dimension to wreak havoc. Soon, Cyrus and Diamond met in the Distortion World, and agreed to free Dialga and Palkia using their Pokémon. Dialga and Palkia later resumed their struggle against Giratina in the Distortion World. When Charon decided to escape from the Distortion World on Giratina, Diamond got on Dialga and chased after him. Giratina was eventually defeated, with Dialga and Palkia forcing it back into the Distortion World for good before both returned to the Spear Pillar.
===={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}====
Dialga was created in the [[Sinjoh Ruins]], along with Palkia and Giratina, by {{p|Arceus}}'s creation process, which was forced by [[Team Rocket]]'s {{tc|Executive}}s. Knowing that the creation process would threaten the [[Johto]] region, Team Rocket's true leader {{adv|Giovanni}} returned with [[Lance]] and [[Pryce]] to keep the Pokémon of Myth at bay while {{adv|Gold}} tried to calm Arceus down. Dialga was kept at bay by Pryce and his {{p|Swinub}}. Once Arceus was eventually becalmed, Dialga and Palkia departed from Johto and were spotted by [[Cynthia]].
===Pokémon Battrio: Aim to be Battrio Master!===
A Dialga appeared in [[ABM02]] under the ownership of [[Manabu Kazuo]].
===Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!===
In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]], [[Hareta]] and [[Mitsumi]] set out on a {{pkmn|journey}} with the intention of finding Dialga. In ''[[DPA20|The Advent of the Legendary Pokémon!!]]'' [[Cyrus]] successfully controlled Dialga after he gained control of the Red Chain. When Hareta managed to snap Dialga out of Cyrus's control, it was able to flee from Cyrus.

[[File:SSBBSpearPillarDialga.png|thumb|250px|Dialga on the {{St|Spear Pillar}} stage in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
Dialga appears as a stage Pokémon along with {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, and the [[lake guardians]] on the stage {{St|Spear Pillar}}. It affects the stage much differently than that of its counterpart, such as slowing down time, and even going off 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.
====Trophy information====
''A Temporal Pokémon. This legendary Pokémon is talked about as a deity in fables passed down through generations in the Sinnoh region. Identifiable by the diamondlike crystal in the center of its chest, Dialga is said to have set time in motion at the moment of its birth. Its fearsome {{m|Roar of Time}} attack is so powerful that it must refrain from attacking on the next turn. It is Diamond's mascot.''
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]===
Dialga appears as a trophy.
====Trophy information====
''The concept of time has always been one of the world's great mysteries, but Dialga might hold the answer. Legend has it that Dialga's birth caused time to begin moving! It's no surprise that the people of Sinnoh see this Pokémon as a deity. If you're ever running late, maybe you could ask Dialga to do you a favour and turn back the clock.''
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
[[File:SSBUSpearPillarDialga.png|thumb|250px|Dialga on the {{St|Spear Pillar}} stage in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]]]
Dialga reprises its role as a stage hazard on the returning {{St|Spear Pillar}} stage. Spear Pillar now allows for any of the three Legendary Pokémon to appear each time, rather than being set for the whole match. Unlike in ''Brawl'', Cresselia is now signified by the stage's color tint not changing from its new default green, rather than using Dialga's blue. Dialga also appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}.

===Origin===
===Origin===
Dialga, along with {{p|Palkia}}, may be based on the {{wp|Shinto}} legend of {{wp|Izanami}} and {{wp|Izanagi}}, who are said to have created one island with a spear, erected a pillar on it, and from there created the islands of Japan. Appearance-wise, Dialga seems to be based on short-necked sauropod dinosaurs such as ''{{wp|Camarasaurus}}'' or ''{{wp|Brachytrachelopan}}''. Its {{t|Steel}} type is possibly due to the hardness of {{wp|diamond}}s, the fact that metal is known to last long periods of time, or the fact that most parts of a clock are made of metal, such as the gears. It may also be because diamonds are compressed carbon, and steel is an alloy from iron and carbon. Metaphorically, it could be a reference to the rigid and unaltering pattern of passing time, as metals are known for their resilience against physical forces. The turquoise pattern on its body is vaguely reminiscent of clock hands, where the ends of the "clock hands" are diamond-shaped.

The turquoise pattern on its body is vaguely reminiscent of clock hands, where the ends of the "clock hands" are diamond-shaped.


Its Origin Forme may be based on a ''{{wp|qilin}}'' or ''{{wp|Longma}}'', as it possesses both equine and dragon-like qualities.
Its {{t|Steel}} type is likely to come from the concept of {{wp|adamant}}, which is an archaic word for diamond, meaning "unconquerable", where the qualities of hard metal (probably steel) were attributed to it. It is also possibly due to the hardness of {{wp|diamond}}s, the fact that metal is known to last long periods of time, or the fact that most parts of a clock are made of metal, such as the gears. It may also be because diamonds are compressed carbon, and steel is an alloy from iron and carbon. Metaphorically, it could be a reference to the rigid and unaltering pattern of passing time, as metals are known for their resilience against physical forces. The Steel-type might also represent the solid {{wp|state of matter}}, whereas Palkia's {{type|Water}} represents the liquid state and {{p|Giratina}}'s {{type|Ghost}} represents the gaseous state.
 
Dialga's Origin Forme appears to be based on {{p|Arceus}}. Like with Arceus, it may be based on a ''{{wp|qilin}}'' or ''{{wp|Longma}}'', as it possesses both equine and dragon-like qualities, the latter of which are more pronounced in Dialga's case due to its Dragon typing.

Dialga (Japanese: ディアルガ Dialga) is a dual-type Steel/Dragon Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, Dialga transforms into a second form, called its Origin Forme, while holding an Adamant Crystal.

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to Game data→Form data for these details.)

Dialga is the game mascot of Pokémon Diamond and its remake Pokémon Brilliant Diamond, appearing on the box art of both games in its standard form.

Along with Palkia and Giratina, it is one of the Pokémon of Myth, representing 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).

Biology

Dialga is a dark-blue, sauropod-like Pokémon 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 the Mystery Dungeon series. 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 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 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 create a new universe by itself or with 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.[1] It has been shown to be very protective of its home. It also tends to have violent conflicts with its counterpart 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 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 distortions caused by Giratina, which create alpha Pokémon and cause Noble Pokémon to go berserk through a lightning bolt that comes out of the space-time distortions.

Dialga is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Roar of Time, which is powerful enough to distort time itself when the move generates enough power.

Forms

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

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 centaur, while also resembling its creator, 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 rhomboid 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 is at its full power when in the Origin Forme and is supposedly, permanently in it while in its home dimension. Dialga's transformation into its Origin Forme is triggered by a radiant light; it can also be invoked using the Adamant Crystal. Origin Forme Dialga can unleash meteors and shockwaves, while its Roar of Time technique can be charged into a stronger version of itself as seen in its boss battle in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. The crystals and light blue accents on Dialga's body glow brightly when it uses its powers.

Dialga Origin Forme
   
Primal Dialga

A unique variant of Dialga, called Primal Dialga resembles a normal Dialga with a darkened color. The main body is colored dark blue. The center diamond-like crystal is colored dark orange. The lines in its body are also orange.

Primal Dialga cannot control time due to it being tampered with. It acts much more agressive than Dialga normally it. It can still use its time abilites to some extent. It can also prevent others from time traveling, even cancelling out Celebi's time powers.

Form data

Along with the other members of the Pokémon of Myth, Dialga has the ability to switch to a second form: Origin Forme.

The standard form of Dialga first debuted in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, and its Origin Forme was introduced in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. In Legends: Arceus, it changes between its standard form and Origin Forme when exposed to an Adamant Crystal. In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Dialga transforms into its Origin Forme while holding an Adamant Crystal. If it is deposited in Pokémon HOME, it will revert to its standard form.

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

Major appearances

Dialga (movie)

Dialga made its physical debut in The Rise of Darkrai, where it fought with Palkia and Darkrai in a battle that nearly destroyed Alamos Town. It then briefly reappeared in Giratina and the Sky Warrior. During its trip back to its own dimension, Dialga ended up in the Reverse World and got attacked by Giratina, who had been angered by Dialga and Palkia's fight in the previous movie.

In Arceus and the Jewel of Life, Dialga was shown for the first time with both the other members of the Pokémon of Myth. 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. After being injured, it sent Sheena, Ash, and his friends back in time to fix Arceus's betrayal.

Dialga (recurring)

A Dialga appeared in The Gates of Warp! and Showdown at the Gates of Warp!, where it was a target of Alternate World Team Rocket, along with Palkia. Using a Red Chain, alternate Team Rocket forced the two Legendary Pokémon to fight, creating time distortions that caused Pokémon to start devolving and eventually revert into Eggs, which Team Rocket would then steal and raise to be their own. The battle was finally stopped when Ash, Dawn, Goh, Chloe, and their alternate world counterparts prayed for Arceus to do so. Freed from the Red Chain, Dialga and Palkia then undid all the devolutions their battle had caused.

Primal Dialga

In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness, Primal Dialga was the protector of the Time Gears.

Other

In The Battle Finale of Legend!, Dialga and Palkia were summoned by Cyrus on the Spear Pillar. They were put under his control through the use of the Red Chain and were tasked by him to open a portal to another dimension, wanting a world of his own. After the Red Chain's destruction and Cyrus's exit, Dialga and Palkia rampaged, creating a danger for Sinnoh. However, the two were calmed down and sent away with the help of the lake guardians.

In Hoopa and the Clash of Ages, Dialga was one of six Legendary Pokémon summoned and hypnotized by the shadow Hoopa Unbound as its reinforcements. It and its teammates engaged in a battle against the Latios, Latias, and Shiny Rayquaza summoned to protect the real Hoopa in Dahara City. Eventually, after the shadow Hoopa was sealed in a Prison Bottle, the hypnosis on Dialga and the other Legendary Pokémon was lifted, and Dialga departed for its home.

Diamond & Pearl arc

Dialga first appeared in Creeping Away from Cradily. Dialga, along with Palkia, was summoned by Cyrus in order to create a new world. Cyrus used the Red Chains to force Dialga and Palkia to fight each other in order to distort time and space and create a portal that would swallow the existing world. Diamond, Pearl and Platinum worked together with their Pokémon to free Dialga and Palkia from their controlled states.

Later on, an accident with handling Charon's machine caused Dialga, Palkia and Cyrus to be dragged into the portal before it closed completely.

Platinum arc

It was revealed that Giratina imprisoned both Dialga and Palkia in the Distortion World before setting off into the current dimension to wreak havoc. Soon, Cyrus and Diamond met in the Distortion World, and agreed to free Dialga and Palkia using their Pokémon. Dialga and Palkia later resumed their struggle against Giratina in the Distortion World. When Charon decided to escape from the Distortion World on Giratina, Diamond got on Dialga and chased after him. Giratina was eventually defeated, with Dialga and Palkia forcing it back into the Distortion World for good before both returned to the Spear Pillar.

HeartGold & SoulSilver arc

Dialga was created in the Sinjoh Ruins, along with Palkia and Giratina, by Arceus's creation process, which was forced by Team Rocket's Executives. Knowing that the creation process would threaten the Johto region, Team Rocket's true leader Giovanni returned with Lance and Pryce to keep the Pokémon of Myth at bay while Gold tried to calm Arceus down. Dialga was kept at bay by Pryce and his Swinub. Once Arceus was eventually becalmed, Dialga and Palkia departed from Johto and were spotted by Cynthia.

Other appearances

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

 
Dialga on the Spear Pillar stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Dialga appears as a stage Pokémon 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 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.

Trophy information

A Temporal Pokémon. This legendary Pokémon is talked about as a deity in fables passed down through generations in the Sinnoh region. Identifiable by the diamondlike crystal in the center of its chest, Dialga is said to have set time in motion at the moment of its birth. Its fearsome Roar of Time attack is so powerful that it must refrain from attacking on the next turn. It is Diamond's mascot.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Dialga appears as a trophy.

Trophy information

The concept of time has always been one of the world's great mysteries, but Dialga might hold the answer. Legend has it that Dialga's birth caused time to begin moving! It's no surprise that the people of Sinnoh see this Pokémon as a deity. If you're ever running late, maybe you could ask Dialga to do you a favour and turn back the clock.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

 
Dialga on the Spear Pillar stage in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Dialga reprises its role as a stage hazard on the returning Spear Pillar stage. Spear Pillar now allows for any of the three Legendary Pokémon to appear each time, rather than being set for the whole match. Unlike in Brawl, Cresselia is now signified by the stage's color tint not changing from its new default green, rather than using Dialga's blue. Dialga also appears as a Spirit.

Trivia

  • In games prior to Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Dialga has a catch rate of 30.
  • Dialga has the highest base Special Attack stat of all Steel-type Pokémon.
  • The gem on Dialga's chest resembles a Prism Sphere.
  • The spikes on Dialga's back, at a certain point of view, look similar to a Time Gear. In the anime, when Dialga uses Roar of Time, the spine extends and the five spikes become thinner and more pronounced.
  • Although Dialga is gender unknown in the core series games, it is referred to as male in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness's story; it is still gender unknown for purposes of gameplay.
  • Dialga is the only Legendary Pokémon to have a role in four different movies.
  • Dialga and Palkia are the only two Pokémon that can be legitimately caught in every kind of Poké Ball in the core series to date (besides the Park Ball, which cannot be the registered Poké Ball of any Pokémon), as they are the only two Pokémon that can be caught with the Origin Ball.
  • According to Junichi Masuda's blog, the Spanish translation team suggested changing the name Dialga because of its similarity to the Spanish word alga (algae, seaweed).[2]

Origin

Dialga, along with Palkia, may be based on the Shinto legend of Izanami and Izanagi, who are said to have created one island with a spear, erected a pillar on it, and from there created the islands of Japan. Appearance-wise, Dialga seems to be based on short-necked sauropod dinosaurs such as Camarasaurus or Brachytrachelopan. The turquoise pattern on its body is vaguely reminiscent of clock hands, where the ends of the "clock hands" are diamond-shaped.

Its Steel type is likely to come from the concept of adamant, which is an archaic word for diamond, meaning "unconquerable", where the qualities of hard metal (probably steel) were attributed to it. It is also possibly due to the hardness of diamonds, the fact that metal is known to last long periods of time, or the fact that most parts of a clock are made of metal, such as the gears. It may also be because diamonds are compressed carbon, and steel is an alloy from iron and carbon. Metaphorically, it could be a reference to the rigid and unaltering pattern of passing time, as metals are known for their resilience against physical forces. The Steel-type might also represent the solid state of matter, whereas Palkia's Water-type represents the liquid state and Giratina's Ghost-type represents the gaseous state.

Dialga's Origin Forme appears to be based on Arceus. Like with Arceus, it may be based on a qilin or Longma, as it possesses both equine and dragon-like qualities, the latter of which are more pronounced in Dialga's case due to its Dragon typing.

Name origin

Dialga may be derived from diamond. It may also involve día (Spanish for day, referring to the unit of time) or dial of clock dial, sundial, and 頑 ga (tough, referring to their solid state of matter theme).
