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.

Dialga appears in the tenth movie of the Pokémon anime along with Palkia. It fights with Palkia and Darkrai, nearly destroying Álamos Town.

A statue and silhouette of Dialga appears in DP036.

Dialga also makes a cameo in the Japanese version of the Diamond and Pearl theme song.

Dialga will even make an appearance in the eleventh movie, it seems that it will, once again, be battling Palkia.

In the manga

In Pocket Monsters DP, Hareta and Mitsumi set out on a journey with the intention of finding the god-like Pokémon, Dialga. Oddly, Palkia does not receive a mention.
