~ Altered Forme Dialga's Legends: Arceus Pokédex Entry |
Dialga is a major antagonist of Pokémon franchise.
It is a Steel-Dragon Type Legendary Pokémon who was first introduced in Generation IV. This majestic creature holds the prestigious title of being the Version Mascot for Pokémon Diamond. It shares a profound rivalry with another Legendary Pokémon named Palkia and together, along with Giratina, they form the awe-inspiring Creation Trio. One notable characteristic of Dialga is that, much like many other Legendary Pokémon, it does not possess any evolutionary forms.
Description[]
Appearance[]
Dialga, a Pokémon resembling a sauropod, exhibits a predominantly blue hue adorned with hints of gray and metallic accents. Notably, its chest plate boasts a striking diamond at its core. Delicate light blue lines intricately adorn its entire physique. Along its back, a structure resembling wings can be observed, while atop its head sits a majestic crest, reminiscent of prehistoric dinosaurs. Dialga further showcases two prominent horns, in addition to two fang-like protrusions near its mouth, complemented by elongated claws and a compact tail that evokes the notion of sturdy armor.
Personality[]
Dialga came into existence when Arceus emerged from its embryonic state and initiated the formation of the world. Dutifully assigned by Arceus, Dialga, along with Palkia and Giratina, assumed the crucial responsibility of fashioning the vast expanse of the universe, encompassing the realms of time, space, and anti-matter respectively. Revered by many, Dialga was hailed as the supreme deity governing the domains of time and metal, owing to its classification as a steel-type Pokémon. Fabled tales claim that the very essence of time is harmoniously synchronized with the rhythmic pulsations of Dialga's heartbeat.
History[]
Backstory[]
Dialga came into existence when Arceus, the creator of the world, hatched from its egg. Arceus specifically assigned Dialga, along with Palkia and Giratina, with the crucial responsibility of crafting the entire universe. Dialga was entrusted with the task of shaping time itself, while Palkia was given control over the vast expanse of space, and Giratina was designated as the overseer of anti-matter. Due to its classification as a Steel-type Pokémon, Dialga earned reverence as the supreme ruler of both time and metal. Legend has it that the very essence of time is intertwined with Dialga's life force, causing time to ebb and flow with the steady rhythm of its heartbeat.
Pokémon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum[]
Dialga was originally intended by Cyrus to serve as a destructive force that would bring about the destruction of the entire world. However, thanks to the heroic efforts of Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf, the Red Chain, a powerful device that Cyrus intended to use to create a new universe, was destroyed before it could fulfill its purpose. As a result, the world was saved from imminent doom. In the Pokémon Diamond game, players have the opportunity to engage in an epic battle with Dialga. Unfortunately, this thrilling encounter is exclusive to Pokémon Diamond and cannot be experienced in Pokémon Pearl. However, in the Pokémon Platinum game, players can engage in a post-game battle with Dialga, alongside another legendary Pokémon known as Palkia. One noteworthy aspect of Dialga is its unique move known as Roar of Time. This signature move holds great power and significance, adding an extra layer of excitement and challenge to any battle involving Dialga.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[]
Dialga can be seen alongside other legendary Pokemon such as Palkia and Cresselia, although they never appear simultaneously in battle on this particular stage. When the stage's color changes to blue, Dialga will make its appearance on the background platform. During its presence on the stage, Dialga possesses several unique abilities. Firstly, it can unleash a formidable beam of energy that travels straight down the stage, posing a significant threat to any players in its path.
Additionally, Dialga has the power to tilt the stage at a diagonal angle, although this effect is merely an illusion to confuse opponents. Another ability Dialga possesses is the usage of its signature move, known as Roar of Time. This move has the capability of greatly slowing down the movement of players, effectively hindering their ability to navigate the stage. This ability is derived from Dialga's mastery over time manipulation. Furthermore, Dialga can also leap from the platform onto the main stage, inflicting damage upon any players unfortunate enough to be in its way.
Power and Abilities[]
Dialga possesses the extraordinary ability known as Pressure, which exerts immense pressure on opposing Pokémon, compelling them to expend double the usual amount of Power Points (PP) for each successful strike. Notably, Dialga possesses the unparalleled power to manipulate time, a rare and remarkable trait among Pokémon. Additionally, in line with its Dragon-type classification, Dialga possesses a diverse repertoire of elemental attacks, similar to many other Pokémon of the same type. Furthermore, Dialga possesses the unique distinction of being one of the select few Pokémon capable of mastering the formidable move known as Aura Sphere. When successfully captured, Dialga bestows upon its captor a precious item known as the Adamant Orb, a highly coveted artifact that augments Dialga's already formidable Steel and Dragon Type moves by an impressive 20%.
