Dialga (Japanese: ディアルガ Dialga) is a Steel/Dragon-type Legendary Pokémon.

Dialga is the version mascot of Pokémon Diamond, appearing on the boxart.

Dialga's signature move is Roar of Time.

Biology

Physiology

Dialga is somewhat dinosaur-like. It is mainly black/dark blue with some gray metallic portions, such as its chestplate, which has a diamond in the center. It also has various blue spots. It has a somewhat wing-like structure on its back, and a crest on its head, resembling a type of dinosaur. Dialga also has long claws and a short tail.

Gender differences

Dialga is a genderless species.

Special abilities

Dialga is the only Pokémon that can utilize the Adamant Orb.

Dialga has the ability to warp time. It is the only Pokémon capable of naturally learning Roar of Time.

Behavior

Being that Dialga, like Palkia, primarily resides in a different dimension, its behavior is nearly impossible to study.

Habitat

Dialga lives in another dimension, and can only be summoned to the main Pokémon universe by using the Red Chain.
