Appearance of Dialga
Dialga is a quadruped Pokemon that appears to have armor on itself. Its color palette is mainly composed of a dark blue across its body, with light blue markings that glow whenever Dialga uses its true power. Silver plating is adorned across Dialga, shining with a metallic sheen.
Behavior of Dialga
Not much is known about Dialga’s behavior, as attempts to research it are nearly impossible. From what little is known, however, Dialga has been shown to be very protective of its home, and has a bitter rivalry with Palkia, easily getting into fights with the other Pokemon
Strengths and Weaknesses
Being a Dragon-type, Dialga has access to a variety of powerful moves. Add on top of that being a Legendary, and Dialga has the stats to back up its powerful attacks. It’s just a matter of making them land. Just be careful around Ice and Fairy types, as these Pokemon can easily end Dialga’s time on the battlefield.
Shiny Dialga
Shiny Dialga is a nice variation from its normal counterpart. Rather than blue, Shiny Dialga is a stark green, the color being in nearly every part of this Pokemon. While finding and catching a Shiny Dialga may be a lot of trouble, it definitely seems worth it.
To complete the process of evolving Dialga into a Dragonair, you must simply raise them to level 30. To evolve them into a Dragonite, level them again until they reach level 55. Evolving Dialga may be tedious but is definitely worth it. One method to make evolving Dialga slightly easier is to use rare candies. This gives a Pokemon one level of experience for each candy eaten.
Best Moveset for Dialga
| Stealth Rock | Draco Meteor |
| Thunder | Roar |
This moveset for Dialga focuses on keeping Dialga in the battlefield, as well as taking out any that Dialga may have trouble with. Stealth Rock injures any opponent Pokemon as soon as they enter the battlefield, perfect for finishing off low HP Pokemon should the opponent trainer pull them out. Draco Meteor is a powerful move, though should only be used in extreme cases, as it will lower Dialga’s Special Attack. Thunder has a chance to paralyze opponents, and Roar forces the opponent to switch out to a random Pokemon.
How to Catch Dialga in Pokemon Go
Dialgas at the moment can only be caught during Max Raids, so in order to even attempt catching one, you’ll have to have a Max Raid pass and be near one when it has Dialga. Fighting with Fairy types is highly advised. Once Dialga is defeated, you may have a shot at catching it, though it is not guaranteed, even with berries.
