This alternate form of the Temporal Pokemon brings a mix of immense power and deceptive speed, making every second of the Raid count – literally.

Whether you’ve faced its standard form or are meeting it for the first time, Origin Forme Dialga demands a good strategy, which includes the right counters and moveset to avoid being steamrolled.

Like its standard form, Dialga’s Origin Forme is also a dual Steel/Dragon-type Pokemon. This means Origin Forme Dialga is only weak against Fighting and Ground-type moves, so you’ll want to build your team around those two.

On the other hand, this Legendary resists a ton of types. Altogether it is resistant to Normal, Flying, Rock, Bug, Steel, Water, Grass, Electric, Psychic, and Poison.
