      Recommended moves

      Dialga is a powerful Legendary Pokémon with great stats across the board. It doesn't take super-effective damage from Dragon-type moves and has a reasonable bulk, giving it a nice niche for play 🗡️.

      That said, without Dragon Tail or Outrage to rely on, its overall damage output trails behind some non-Legendary Dragons. Still, it's a solid choice for your team 👍.

      As a Steel-type attacker, it's decent, but there are better options.

      ⚔️ Raids - The Steel sub-typing is clutch, helping Dialga withstand Dragon-type Raid Bosses even though it's not a top-tier counter.

      🛡️ Gyms - Dialga cannot be placed in Gyms.

      PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

      Ultra LeagueUltra League
      Master LeagueMaster League

      Without the typical weaknesses to Dragon, Fairy, and Ice-type attacks, as well as its 10 resistances, Dialga is a supreme figure in PvP, particularly in the Master League 💪. While it’s plagued with a bit of ring rust due to the rise of other combatants, it will always be worth raising this mighty warrior 🏅.

      🔵 Great League - Its stat spread makes it unusable in the Great League.

      🟡 Ultra League - Dialga doesn't cut it in the Ultra League 😕.

      🟣 Master League - Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings Necrozma, and Dialga Origin may define the Master League today, but for a long time, good ol’ Dialga was THE Pokémon to beat—and it kinda still is! 🙂

      With amazing stats, incredible typing, and being a red alert threat to nearly any opponent, Dialga remains a top-notch pick in this format 💯. This is a classic that will age like fine wine and always be worth investing in, no matter what powerhouses occupy the throne it made famous 💎.
