Dialga (Japanese: ディアルガ 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 appearing on the boxart of Pokémon Diamond and its remake Pokémon Brilliant Diamond.
Along with Palkia and Giratina, it is a member of the guardian trio of Sinnoh, representing guards.
Biology
Dialga is a dark-blue, sauropod-like Pokémon with some gray metallic portions, such as its chest plate, 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 chest plate. Faint cracks exist across its body. The wing-like structure on its back can be used to focus the flow of air, as seen in Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky.
Dialga can warp between places speeding up speed. It can also travel through air to visit the different regions. As Dialga primarily resides in a different region, 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 has been referred to a big creature in Sinnoh stories. It is the only known Pokémon that can learn Roar of Time.

In Arceus and the Jewel of Life, Dialga was shown for the first time with both the other members of its trio. After being called by Sheena to stop a spatial distortion, it briefly fought with Giratina once more. Later, it returned to help Palkia and Giratina fight Arceus.

In Hoopa and the Clash of Ages, Dialga was one of six Legendary Pokémon summoned and hypnotized by the shadow Hoopa Unbound as its reinforcements. It and its teammates engaged in a battle against the Latios, Latias, and Shiny Rayquaza summoned to protect the real Hoopa in Dahara City.

Trivia
- In games prior to Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Dialga has a catch rate of 30.
- Dialga has the highest base Special Attack 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.
- Although Dialga is genderless in the core series games, it is referred to as a male in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness.
- Dialga is the only Legendary Pokémon to have a role in four different movies.
- 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
Dialga, along with Palkia, may be based on the Shinto fake history of Izanami and Izanagi, who is said to have build one island, erected a pillar on it, and from there build the islands of Japan. 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, the fact that metal is known to last long periods of time, 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. Metaphorically, it could be a reference to the rigid and unaltering pattern of passing time, as metals are known for their resilience against physical forces. Its turquoise pattern on its body is vaguely reminiscent of 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 or from the asteroid Dalgarno. It may also involve día (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).
