Dialga (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Dialga is a dark-blue, {{wp|sauropod}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with some grey metallic portions, such as its chest plate, which has a diamond in the center. It also has various light blue stripes. It has a fin-like structure on its back and a crest on its head, resembling a dinosaur. Dialga also has two horns on top of its head, two fang-like horns around its mouth, and three spines on the back of its neck. It has three claws on each foot of the same metallic look as its chest plate. Faint cracks exist across its body. The wing-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]].

The Origin Forme of Dialga changes drastically from the usual sauropod-like creature of its other Forme, being a hybrid between the original design, dragon and a centaur, resembling its creator {{p|Arceus}}. The entire body of Dialga becomes larger. 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 protrusions. The chest plate is gone, however, it has a polygonal shape similar in its place. The entire neck of Dialga has two large shapes, one small pricket on each side and above them two larger ones at the middle of the neck. The large panel-like construct has a diamond-shaped protrusion pointing out. The three spines located on the back of the neck are longer and sharper. The head of Dialga has longer fang-like horns connected to a plate mask covering its lower jaw, which can shift angle to reveal the mouth. The crest's lower spikes are now part-covered by the new plate mask. Around Dialga's abdomen is a cross 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. The coloration of Dialga is nearly completely dark-blue. The crest, head stripe, knee protrusions and the cross is light blue. The tips of Dialga's fin plate and feet are dark grey. The diamond in its neck retains the same deep blue color.  

Dialga can warp time by either speeding it up, slowing it down, or stopping it altogether. Dialga also has the power to destroy and create time itself. It can also [[Time travel|travel through time]] to visit the past, present, and future. It is said that time started moving when Dialga was born and will continue flowing as long as Dialga's heart still beats. 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. The dimension where Origin Forme Dialga lives in is always constantly moving in different directions and speed endlessly<ref>https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/dialga/</ref>. It has been shown to be very protective of its home. It also tends to have violent conflicts with its counterpart {{p|Palkia}}. Dialga has been referred to a deity in [[Sinnoh myths]]. It 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 shown in the boss battle in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]. With Roar of Time, Dialga can distort time itself when the move generates enough power.

The Origin Forme of Dialga is said to be Dialga's true form. It is said to possess colossal strength and resemble its creator, {{p|Arceus}}. Dialga's transformation into its Origin Forme is triggered by a radiant light. In the Origin Forme, Dialga can unleash meteors, purple waves, and light blue shockwaves that can harm humans. In the past, Dialga was worshipped by the [[Diamond Clan]], who referred to it as "almighty Sinnoh". Dialga and Palkia can control and spread the [[Space-Time Distortions|space-time rift]] caused by {{p|Giratina}}, which create [[alpha Pokémon]] and cause [[Noble Pokémon]] to go berserk. Dialga is capable of [[Talking Pokémon|speaking through telepathy]] as seen when it communicated through leader of Diamond Clan, [[Adaman]].  

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 possess the ability to reverse the devolution effects.
