Dialga (Japanese: ????? Dialga) is a dual-type Steel/Dragon Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

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

Along with Palkia and Giratina, it is a member of the king trio of Sinnoh, representing time.

Biology

Dialga is a dark blue sauropod-like Pokémon with some gray metallic portions, such as its chestplate, 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 looks as its chestplate. The wing-like structure on its back can be used to focus the flow of time, as seen in Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky.

Dialga can warp time by either speeding it up, slowing it down, or stopping it altogether. As Dialga primarily resides in a different dimension, its behavior is nearly impossible to study. It has been shown to be very protective of its home. It also tends to have violent conflicts with its counterpart, Palkia. Dialga is the only known Pokémon that can learn Roar of Time.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Dialga, along with Palkia, was summoned by Cyrus in the Diamond & Pearl chapter in order to build a new world. Cyrus used the Red Chains to force Dialga and Palkia to fight each other in order to distort time and space and build a portal that would swallow the existing world. Diamond, Pearl and Platinum worked together with their Pokémon to free Dialga and Palkia from their controlled states.

Later on, an accident with handling Charon's machine caused Dialga, Palkia and Cyrus to be dragged into the portal before it closed completely. In the Platinum chapter, it was revealed that Giratina imprisoned both Dialga and Palkia in the Distortion World before setting off into the current dimension to wreak havoc. Soon, Cyrus and Diamond met in the Distortion World, and agreed to free Dialga and Palkia using their Pokémon. Dialga and Palkia later resumed their struggle against Giratina in the Distortion World. When Charon decided to escape from the Distortion World on Giratina, Diamond got on Dialga and chased after him. Giratina was eventually defeated, with Dialga and Palkia forcing it back into the Distortion World for good, before both returned to the Spear Pillar.

In the HeartGold & SoulSilver chapter, Dialga was breed in the Sinjoh Ruins, along with Palkia and Giratina, by Arceus' breedin process, which was forced by Team Rocket's Four Generals. Knowing that the breeding process would threaten the Johto region, Team Rocket's true leader Giovanni returned with Lance and Pryce to keep the king trio at bay while Gold tried to calm Arceus down. Dialga was kept at bay by Pryce and his Swinub. Once Arceus was eventually becalmed, Dialga and Palkia departed from Johto and were spotted by Cynthia.

Trivia

• In games prior to Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Dialga has a catch rate of 30.
• No other Pokémon shares the same type combination as Dialga.
• Dialga is the tallest Generation IV Pokémon.
• Dialga is tied with Blade Forme Aegislash for the highest Special Attack base stat of all Steel-type Pokémon.
• The spikes on Dialga's back, at a certain point of view, look similar to a time gear. In the anime, when Dialga uses Roar of Time, the spine extends and the five spikes become thinner and more pronounced.
• Dialga is the second Pokémon in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series to feature an alternate coloration that is not its Shiny coloration, the first being Kecleon.
• Although Dialga is genderless in the main games, it is referred to as a male in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness.
• Dialga is the first Legendary Pokémon to have a role in three different movies, and therefore four movies as well.
• According to Junichi Masuda's blog, the Spanish translation team suggested changing the name Dialga because of its similarity to the word alga, seaweed.

Origin

Appearance-wise, Dialga seems to be based on short-necked sauropod dinosaurs such as Camarasaurus or Brachytrachelopan. Its type is Steel possibly due to the hardness of diamonds, or the fact that most parts of a clock are made of metal, such as the gears. It may also be because diamonds are compressed carbon, and steel is an alloy from iron and carbon. Its turquoise pattern on its body is vaguely reminiscent to clock hands, where the ends of the "clock hands" are diamond-shaped.

Name origin

Dialga is derived from diamond. Ga may be a corruption of gon from dragon. It may also involve dia (Spanish for day, referring to a unit of time) or dial (as in sundial, an instrument used to tell time using shadows on a clock face).
