Players around the world had the chance to fight Dialga’s Origin Forme thanks to the Pokemon Go Tour: Sinnoh – Los Angeles event. So, here’s its best moveset in case you manage you catch one during its debut in Niantic’s mobile game.
Plenty of Legendary Pokemon have made their way into Pokemon Go over the years, including the Creation Trio: Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina.
Dialga, which can control time, was introduced back in Gen 4’s Sinnoh region and first appeared in the mobile game in 2019. However, its Origin Forme was presented a couple of years ago in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Now, it will debut alongside Origin Forme Palkia in a special event.
From February 17, 2024, until February 18, 2024, Origin Forme Dialga was featured as a 5-Star Raid Boss in the Pokemon Go Tour: Sinnoh – Los Angeles and is back for the Global event from February 24, 2024 until February 25, 2024.

Is Origin Forme Dialga any good in Pokemon Go?
Due to Dialga being a Legendary Pokemon, it can’t be used to defend Gyms. However, similar to its regular form, Origin Forme Dialga is a top-tier Pokemon in the game’s meta.
Its Steel and Dragon typing gives it a ton of useful resistances and leaves only a couple of types to worry about. More so, the Roar of Time attack not only offers an Adventure Effect to exploit throughout the adventure, but it’s also a nuke move that deals an outstanding 150 damage when used in battle.
Its incredible stats, along with such strong moves and a great type combination of Steel and Dragon, make Origin Forme Dialga the ultimate beast to dominate Pokemon Go battles.
