Talk:Dialga (Pokémon)

Most resistances

Hmm, Dialga does not have the most resistances, the Magnemite and its evolutions do, with one immunity and twelve resistances, two of them being doubly strong, albeit having more weaknesses. I'll make a change.

Japanese pronunciation

Why do you people believe it's japanese name is "Dialga" when it's really Diaruga? Unsigned comment by IDeoxys

Same thing. Dialga is the romanized version.--ElectAbuzzzz 19:38, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Diaruga is how it's pronounced, but the official Nintendo romanization is Dialga. --TTEchidna 23:45, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Remember that ル is how Japanese people write "l" and "ru"; despite the fact that they are limited in writing, they pronounce "l" - just with an accent. Kanjo 13:24, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Capture Dialga

Dialga is realy hard to catch

Dialga and Palkia are the easiest legendaries to catch. I caught my Dialga in the first turn with a Quick Ball. --

Are you kidding me?? All I had to do is change the clock to make it "night" and I caught Palkia with a Dusk Ball. Never waste your Master Ball on something like Dialga or Palkia. Dialgarules 22:17, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

FabuVinny ^T-C-S 12:43, 6 September 2007 (UTC) It's funny, cuz everyone wastes their master ball on him, when you should use it on Regigigas, or Cresselia. LordKaien 20:22, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

I still have my masterball, I caught palkia with a pokeball (no lie, he was asleep with no health left)C is for Cookie 20:29, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Dialga vs Palkia

Due to their stats, I think Dialga is stronger.

But they have the same base stats, so they're really the same. (One horrible topic to bring up in a talk page...) TinaTheKirlia ♥ File:281MS.gif 15:08, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Actually, Palkia's Speed and Sp.Def. are higher, while Dialga's HP and Defense are higher. TTEchidna 22:18, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

But their base stat totals are the same, making them logically equal, just stronger in different areas.

According to my username, Dialga is indeed better than Palkia. Dialga can KO Palkia with Roar of Time, but Palkia can't KO Dialga with Spacial Rend. I know. I've tried. Dialgarules 22:19, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

We can also judge by weaknesses...Optimatum^Talk|♊05:59 12 Mar 2008

When you look at Base Stat totals, they're even. Looking at each Base Stat individually, Dialga is superior in Defense and HP, while Palkia is superior in Speed and Special Defense. Type-wise:

Dialga has 2 weaknesses, Palkia has 1; Palkia is better (but not much)

Dialga has 12 resistances (one of which is immunity), Palkia has 3 resistances; Dialga is better (much better)

I still prefer Dialga over Palkia; not only can he hold his own against more types, I think he just looks cooler. Diachronos 23:13, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Unique levels to be found at.

This was recently removed from the trivia section on this page: "* Dialga and Palkia are the only two legends who's levels are not a multiple of 10. Meaning, you meet all other legends at levels 30,40,50 and so on, but those two you meet at Lv. 47." It was removed because Kyogre and Groudon are both found at level 45. My question then is, couldn't we just change the 10 to a 5 in that quote and keep it on the page? --Ozzie 21:39, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, if the trivia item was spelled that wrong, what with "who's" instead of the correct "whose" and a "you" or two in there, I can see why it was removed. It's an interesting bit of trivia, though, that D and P are the only legends met at a level that isn't an even multiple of 5. TTEchidna 06:17, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

In platinum, Giratina will be found at level 47 aswell Kanjo 13:32, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

I decided to put up the aforementioned fact about Dialga and Palkia's levels. I put it like this:

"Dialga and Palkia are the first legendary Pokémon to be seen at a level that is not divisible by 5, appearing at Level 47." SharKing 03:28, 24 August 2008 (UTC)SharKing

I changed First to onlyDCM

I disagree with that. Like Kanjo said, Giratina will be at 47 in Platinum. SharKing 22:37, 24 August 2008 (UTC)SharKing

Site your sources.Rayquaza was found at level 70 compared to whatever level Groudon adn Kyogre were found in ther respective gamesDCM

Trivia

Here it says that Celebi can control the time, but Celebi just can TRAVEL in the time. Dialga is the only pokemon that can control the time (unless Arceus also can) --Nick. 21:27, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

The only way to be able to travel through time is to control it...•Pokemaniac102 21:30, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

should we mention the fact that dialga becomes primal dialga when it loses control over time in Pokémon time explorers in the trivia?--Nobody777 14:34, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Catch Rate?

It says it the Trivia Section that Palkia, Dialga, and Phione, are the legendary that has the highest catch rate. But what about Shaymin? It has a catch rate of 45! Palkia38 03:43, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
