Additionally, Dialga has the ability to control time. Dialga, like many other type Pokémon, can use many various elemental attacks. It is also one of the few Pokémon that can learn the move Aura Sphere. Capturing it gives an item called the Adamant Orb, which powers Dialga's attacks.

Dialga is the only Pokémon that can learn the move Roar of Time, its signature move, aside from the special Event Pokémon Darkrai given in the Tenth Movie and in the Toys R' Us Nintendo World Tour, the Pokemon Smeargle, who can Sketch the move, Pokémon with Metronome, a Pokemon using Mirror Move immediately after Dialga uses the move, and a Level 100 special Event Arceus.

Game Info
Following the trend of the Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire games, Dialga is fought as part of the game's storyline.

After chasing Team Galactic through Mt. Coronet in Pokémon Diamond, the player ends up on the summit, also known as Spear Pillar. When there, Cyrus will use the Red Chain he crafted from Uxie, Azelf, and Mesprit to call up Dialga. After defeating Cyrus, the Dialga seemingly waits to battle the player. As is with other Legendary Pokemon, this is not the only opportunity to encounter it. After defeating the Elite Four and Champion Cynthia, you may go back to the same spot and rebattle it.

Super Smash Bros.


Dialga appears in the game Super Smash Bros. Brawl, seen in the background of the stage Spear Pillar. It interacts with the stage in various ways including slowing down time, distorting the stage itself, and attacking the players.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon
In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Explorers of Darkness games, Primal Dialga is the main boss of the game and is found at the end of chapter twenty. After finishing the main storyline, the player can choose to fight Dialga and have him join their team. Dialga is seen using Roar Of Time on Sharpedo bluff in the opening. In the beginning of the future, a silhouette of Dialga with glowing red eyes will appear in the Pit. Later he is seen on closeup. He uses Roar Of Time ( In the same animation as the intro ) to turn into something. Much later, you are knocked away. An awful form of Dialga-- Primal Dialga-- appears. He challanges you and you fight him as the final boss. He appears in his Normal Form after you revive yourself. He says he "seeks the repair of Temporal Tower". After the credits, he once again uses Roar Of Time. This time to restore the player to the timeline as thanks for saving him from remaining as Primal Dialga forever.

Trivia

 * Dialga has no known gender, but in the Mystery Dungeon games, it is referred to as a male.
 * Its first initial "D" was derived from "Diamond" and Palkia's is "Pearl", although Dialga has a diamond placed on its body, and Palkia has 1 each half pearl on each shoulder.
 * No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Dialga.
 * Dialga is the only Dragon Pokémon not to be weak to Dragon.
 * Despite able to levitate, it does not have the ability Levitate and thus remains susceptible to type moves. (Unless taught Magnet Rise by the move tutor in Platinum)
 * In the Anime, Dialga's rear spikes grow whenever it uses Roar of Time.
