Pokemon Go Origin Forme Dialga: Best moveset for PvP and Raids

Players around the world will have the chance to fight Dialga’s Origin Forme once again during Pokemon Go‘s Into the Wild event and here are the best movesets you can teach it when you catch it.

The time-controlling Legendary Dialga was introduced back in Gen 4’s Sinnoh region and first appeared in the mobile game in 2019. However, its Origin Forme debuted a few years ago in Pokemon Legends: Arceus and was added to Pokemon Go in 2024.

Origin Forme Dialga will be featured as a 5-Star Raid Boss in the Into the Wild event which will kick off on November 18, 2024. So if want to use this incredible beast in battle, here’s everything you need to know to exploit its full potential in Niantic’s game.

Best moveset for PvP

The best Origin Forme Dialga moveset for PvP is Dragon Breath as a Fast Move and Roar of Time as a Charged Move.

In this scenario, Dragon Breath is better than Metal Claw as it offers a very high amount of offensive damage, while Roar of Time does the same while lacking drawbacks. Remember Roar of Time is an Adventure Effect that can only be obtained at special events.

However, if you’re looking to add Fairy-type coverage to Origin Forme Dialga, you can always go with Iron Head as your first Charged Move and use Roar of Time as your second one if you can afford it.

Best moveset for Raids

The best moveset for Origin Forme Dialga in Raids is also Dragon Breath as a Fast Move and Roar of Time as a Charged Move.

Like for PvP, this combination benefits from STAB and it’s the ultimate Dragon-type countering moveset, as its dual Steel typing allows it to be one of the few Dragons without a Dragon weakness.
