Which pkmn is better, Dialga or Palkia

Which pokemon do you think is better, Palkia or Dialga.
Even though I got Pearl I think Dialga is better because it is a steel and dragon type which seems better than palkia's types.

In terms of cool-ness yes. But Palkia has only 1 weakness, while Dialga has 2.

Anyways, theres been thousands of threads like this, and we don't really need anymore, btw, these kinda threads belong in Pokemon General.

Oops!!!!!!! My bad!!!!!

Well it really only concerns DP so it's cool here, my own opinion on the subject is Dialga>Palkia because it's a fairly cool type combo which I don't really like the Water/dragon of palkia

It doesnt depend's on the weakness, it depends on the power! Although Dialga got better defence and Palkia got Speed.

If you get both will it really matter to you?

I have both and if you consider their moves having the same power but dialgas does u harm, Plakia is much better, and in appearance too

It all depends. If Palkia and Dialga would face eachother in a battle, Dialga's going to win. But if you'd measure overall in power, Palkia will be superior.

IM not sure how u assume that palkia would lose. I beat ev trained dialgas all the time with my palkia

Dialga defence wouldn't matter since Palkia is a Special Attacker. Palkia has better Special Defence, and since Dialga is also a Special Attacker, Palkia has yet, another advantage. And if you were to say a Dialga and Palkia both fully EV'd in speed and sp.atk to go in battle, Palkia would most likely move first, a move like Aura Sphere or Earth Power can maybe 1-2 hit ko Dialga. Even if Dialga was to have max stat Sp.Def with Sp.Def boosting nature, you would have the speed or defence advantage/

i think palkia looks like he gonna come and beat the .... out of you but i think dialga looks cool but i usually do beat with dialga than palkia not sure why though.... + i think this is in the wrong forum .. maybe pokemon general or pokemon polls if you add a poll to this?

Not sure if there is an active thread like this there, but this should go in Pokémon General.

-MOVED-

Both are just about the same-the main difference is the type combos, which are both good.

I'm not sure game wise, I really couldn't tell you which one was more powerful or anything. As far as appearances go I think Palkia looks better, and could probably beat Dialga.

Dialga resists its Water STAB. And Palkia is open to Dialga's Dragon type moves with x2

What does that have to do with me actually winning with my palkia against the EV dialgas

DUH

UR RIGHT DIALGA IS THE BEST!!!

Dailga has a cool blue color, a unique type combo and good resistance against it's rival.
It also has the most ironic cry of any legendary Pokemon I've heard.

DAILGA IS DA PWNZORZ.

Palkia wouldn't be using Water attacks. It would use Ground and Fighting moves.

If a Dialga with max HP and max Sp.Def, it was to be attacked with a max Sp.Atk Palkia w/ Choice Specs, it would do about 2/3 of Dialga's HP. But then Dialga wouldn't be able to fight back good because it won't have Sp.Atk evs, then you will have a dead Dialga. Now if it were to be opposite, as I explained above, Palkia would move first and 1-2hit ko. Even if Dialga survives, Im pretty sure a Max ev'd Sp.Def with Neutral Nature Palkia would be able to barely survive a Roar of Time or Dragon Pulse. Unless Dialga is wearing Choice Specs too, so both Palkia and Dialga have a close amount of power, but Palkia would obviously have a slightly better advantage due to the 20 more sp.def and 10 more Speed base stats.

Palkia is a beast with some rain. Both are strong...Diagla has superior defensive typing, as steel and dragon are great defensive types. Palkia is a plain beats, as a STAB water move from 150 base SAtk is going to sting.
