Dialga is a five-star raid that players want to try and jump as quickly as possible in Pokémon Go. Dialga is considered to be one of the best Legendary Pokémon that players can use in the PvP Battle League, and is also extremely effective in being used in other five-star raids. If you are planning to take on Dialga in a five-star raid, make sure you have some other trainer supporting you to increase your chances of taking him down. In this guide, we will detail all the weaknesses of Dialga's raid and the best Pokémon tokens to use against it.
All the weaknesses of Dialga
Dialga is a Dragon and Steel type Pokémon. It will be weak against Fighting and Ground-types, but is resistant to Bug, Electric, Flying, Grass, Normal, Poison, Psychic, Rock, Steel, and Water-type moves. Due to how many resistances it is, you will have a hard time finding the best way to take it down, so you want to keep using Ground or Fighting type Pokémon and those that know those moves.
The best Pokémon tokens
The best Pokémon you want to use against Dialga will be Shadow Machamp, Excadrill, and Groudon.
Shadow Machamp is a Fighting-type Pokémon that can be extremely good against Dialga. The problem is, it won't last too long, given how weak it can be. It only takes a handful of hits before it goes down. Therefore, you may want to use it at the start of your rotation, so it has the least chance of taking on any of Dialga's charged moves, giving it the best chance of staying alive. The best move set you can use on Shadow Machamp will be the fast move counter and loaded cross chop and dynamic punch moves.
The next one we will recommend is Excadrill, a Ground and Steel type Pokémon. Excadrill has a small advantage over some of the other damage-focused Ground-types as it is Steel-type, so it has a lot of other resistances, but it doesn't have the best set of defenses yet. Regardless, Excadrill can hit really hard. The best move set you can teach Excadrill will be the fast moving mud blast and loaded moves, drilling run, and landslide.
The last Pokémon recommendation we have against Dialga will be the legendary Ground-type, Groudon. If you need a Pokémon to take on Dialga in the Pokémon Master League, Groudon is the best choice. It is capable of dealing massive amounts of damage against Dialga, and you can use it almost anywhere on your list. While Groudon may be hard to find because it's tied to five-star raids, it's been shown enough to be a common option for most coaches. The best moveset to teach Groudon is the fast moving mud blast and the earthquake and fire fist charged moves.
You will need a full squad of six Pokémon to take on Dialga. These are other choices you can use to grow your list that we highly recommend that you consider.
- Competition durr
- Garchomp
- Hariyama
- Landorus incarnate
- To the crocodile
- Lucario
- mamoswine
- Mega lopunny
- Rhyperior
- Sirfetch'd

After defeating Dialga, you will have the option to capture him and add him to your collection. There is a 20 in XNUMX chance that Dialga is a brilliant version.
