Pokemon Go Dialga: Best moveset for PvP and Raids
THE POKEMON COMPANYOne of the strongest Legendaries in Pokemon Go is Dialga, and knowing the best moveset for this powerful ‘mon will allow you to make the most out of it in the game’s competitive mode.
Dialga has been regarded as one of the best Legendary Pokemon ever since it was introduced to the Pokemon franchise in Pokemon Diamond’s Sinnoh region, and many Pokemon Go players believe this creature to be a top addition to their teams, especially when taking on the Master League.
The secret to Dialga is that this dragon is not weak to Dragon-type or Fairy-type moves, which are typically the major weaknesses of such type. So, if you have a Dialga, you better ensure that you’re using the very best moveset.
Best moveset for PvP
The best moveset to teach Dialga for the Pokemon Go Battle League is Dragon Breath as a Fast Move combined with Iron Head as a Charged Move.
Dragon Breath is one of the best Fast Moves in the game and lets you dish out some solid STAB damage to any Dragon-type opponents you come across, so it’s pretty much essential to have if you want Dialga to become a champion.
When it comes to Charged Moves, Iron Head is the cheapest option which makes it good for baiting shields. If you can afford a secondary Charged Move, go with Draco Meteor as it is a devastating attack capable of one-shotting most opponents (just watch out for the Attack self-debuff).
If you’re up against Flying types, you can switch Draco Meteor for Thunder for some extra power.
THE POKEMON COMPANYBest moveset for Raids
Dialga’s best moveset for Raid battles consists of Dragon Breath as a Fast Move and Draco Meteor as a Charged Move.
In Raid battles, it is always better to pick one type when using a dual-type Pokemon. In Dialga’s case, it is best used as a Dragon attacker, and because it only has one of each move, the choice is clear.
Dialga can also be used as a decent Steel-type attacker, although it’s not quite as effective. For this setup, you’ll want Metal Claw as a Fast Move and Iron Head as a Charged Move.
All moves Dialga can learn in Pokemon Go
The Legendary from Pokemon Diamond can learn a total of two Fast Moves and three Charged Moves, with most of them playing to its type strengths. Here’s an overview of all the moves that Dialga can learn in Pokemon Go:
