Dialga is more defensive and can shrug off most attacks, sometimes even super effective attacks from opposing Legendary Pokémon in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Palkia, on the other hand, is more offensive with an impressively diverse moveset that lets it hit many different types of Pokémon for super effective damage.

Because of this, Palkia can’t survive as long as Dialga can. Dialga has a near-perfect typing, bearing an immense amount of resistances, has lower Speed, but more HP, and learns slightly weaker attacks, that are more used to make sweeping easier in the future.

Theyre both very powerful, Palkia generaly has better stats but Dialga has more resistances. Besides you can get both of them in Platinum so you might as well just train them together, you’ll probably be unstoppable then. I’ve got both of them and used them together and they both rock.

But Dialga can win with different places like Earth, Distortion and Space taking a point of 3 out of 3 with Palkia and 2 out of 3 with Giratina because Giratina can win dialga in distortion world but not in others. Dialga is a steel dragon type pokemon which can be used defensively and offensively.

Which is better Dialga or Palkia?

dialga is better because it is a steel type so if Palkia use a dragon move it woident work but dialga use rore of time and will knock it out. answered Feb 25, 2012 by kevodeko. Dragon becomes normally effective, so it would still do a lot of damage with Dialga ‘s lower special defense.

In a head to head fight between Palkia and Dialga, Palkia can learn Aura Sphere , in which it can use to get a super effective hit on Dialga by out speeding it. If Dialga survives, it can use Roar of Time to severely damage Palkia. It would be an even fight, nevertheless.

Palkia and Diagla are used in several different ways, It all depends on what way u use them. Palkia is very handy as a mixed sweeper, due hes high speed / Attack and Sp. Atk. Dialga has more something of a tank, due hes high HP / Defense ans Sp. Def, but has lower speed.

Palkia can learn a bunch of Fighting-type moves like Brick Break, Aura Sphere, and Focus Blast. But even though Palkia takes neutral damage form Electric attacks, Dialga can learn Thunderbolt and Thunder. So movepools are evenly split. Based on stats, Palkia has better Speed and Special Defence.

Palkia could live Roar of Time because of its Special Defence. But each move has different amounts of power. Roar of time is more powerful, but Dialga would need to recharge, Spacial Rend has no recharge, but less powerful. But in a hole, the two would be even.

Palkia has 2 weaknesses,those being Dragon and Fairy. Dialga is weak to Fighting and Ground. The two are equal to each other. One difference is their movepool. Dialga, having a dragon and steel-typing, has access to STAB steel type moves like Flash Cannon and Iron Tail. Palkia, for some reason is a Water-type, and a Dragon-type. So it has access to STAB water moves like Aqua Tail and Hydro Pump

It totally depends on what you’re comparing them in. Palkia is faster than Dialga by 10 points, Palkia has less bulk, and learns Spacial Rend over Roar of Time. Palkia is clearly supposed to be looked at as a Mixed Sweeper, ripping holes through other enemies.
