Dialga or Palkia
 
I prefer Palkia because Dialga can be beat by Infernape using flamethrower as its secondary type is steel plus palkia looks cooler XD.

I like Dialga.
He looks cool and he is strong.

LethalTexture June 22nd, 2008 4:31 AM

Actually no, Dialga is neutral vs. Fire as it's not very effectiveness against Dragon makes it so.

Palkia is my preferred choice. I can't really explain why, I just prefer it, although I do like both Pokémon.

Munchlax Fan June 22nd, 2008 7:37 AM

I also like both Pokémon, however I chose Dialga because I caught him on Pokémon Diamond and have seen what he can do in battle; nevertheless, I have NOT see Palkia fight and my mind might be changed should I see it's ability and moves. I think Palkia look's cooler though.

Close Combat would do a better job of clearing up Dialga. Since like mentioned by someone else, in this thread, Dialga is normal damage, due to its DRAGON/Steel typing. However, Dragon type doesn't normalise the Fighting weakness.

I've not really got a preferred of the two, although I will admit that I bought diamond, because I thought Dialga looked pretty cool. XD;;

Looks-wise, Dialga gets the vote. However, in terms of moveset, Palkia has a better one with STAB Surf and Spacial Rend. However, Dialga still has better typing, with 10 x2 resistances, one x4 resistance and one immunity, meaning Dialga can be switched in on just about anything.

Binary June 22nd, 2008 8:40 AM

Umm..pretty difficult choice here. I like both of them actually, but Palkia would be my choice. It was the first one I caught and I think it's really good. Both base stats are same and Palkia is good at some areas whereas Dialga is good at other areas.

Dialga450 June 22nd, 2008 8:51 AM

Neither. They both sucked for me. I hate both of them. I like Kyogre much more.

AJ™ June 22nd, 2008 10:16 AM

Dialga Ftw.
If Palkia was blue instead of that gay pink color, it'd be cooler.

MrCarter504 June 22nd, 2008 12:43 PM

Dialga
 
I'd have to say Dialga because i hate using most of the Diamond/Pearl legendaries except for Dialga. I also think Palkia looks kinda fruity lol.

Circuit June 22nd, 2008 12:45 PM

Palkia for me since it has a much better cry, looks cooler and has a better moveset. Dialga sounds like a dying bird.

~*Champion Shirona*~ June 22nd, 2008 3:58 PM

True, sound could have been better >.> It sounds like a rubber duck being stepped on. BUT DIALGA is WAY better than Palkia. However Palkia is pretty good. I like Roar of Time way better than Spacial Rend. Dialga look so cool. Palkia is nice, but I like Dialga overall.

:16:

yuehaoxuanar June 22nd, 2008 7:01 PM

palkia is more useful than dialgia(especially while killing elite four).but dialgia is stonger than palkia, 'cause dialgia is steel type so the effect of dragon moves is still 100%, but to palkia, it's 200%

Opposite Day June 23rd, 2008 3:14 AM

Facts first? Palkia only has a 2x weakness to Dragon.
Dialga have a 2x weakness to Ground (On noez, EQ!) and Fighting, meaning that it might be easier to knock out.
But in a Dialga vs Palkia battle, I think that Dialga would win. Super effective Roar of Time with STAB is way better than a STAB neutral Spacial Rend, or so I think. So for me?

Dialga, without doubt. 11 resistances, one immunity, and a powerhouse attack. Palkia, goodbye.

Kenneth Alog June 23rd, 2008 3:35 AM

I Like Dialga Than Palkia. I Like Dialga Cause Of His Roar Of Time. Also Being The First And Only Dragon And Steel Type Pokemon.

Gorebyss Fairy June 23rd, 2008 4:11 AM

I prefer Dialga ^^
looks cooler ^^ .. I hate Palkia cuz he's Kinda tooo Big ><

261Poochyena June 23rd, 2008 7:40 AM

Dialga
 
Dialga because it looks cool

supersmashbro93 June 23rd, 2008 1:13 PM

if you went off pure looks daiga wins not to mention palkia is awkardly built

Sydian June 23rd, 2008 1:26 PM

Dialga, to me, looks a lot better than Palkia. Palkia looks...hunchback. And he's pink. I dun like pink. D: And Roar of Time saved my life in the Pokemon League. xD

And I don't really like water types a lot. So Dialga takes my vote. :D

However, I do like Palkia's ability to distort space...maybe just because I like the word distortion?

Yoshiko75 June 23rd, 2008 1:36 PM

I prefer Dialga. It looks a whole lot better than Palkia, in my opinion. I think the fact that it has four legs and somewhat resembles a dinosaur is a major plus in its appearance. I also like Dialga's attacks more than Palkia's. Also, I don't care much for Water-types.

stephen_swann_123 June 23rd, 2008 1:53 PM

I prerer Dialga all the way. It looks cool and its attacks are cool to. I know palkia knows some time move but dialgas move roar of time is awesome.

MikeSalZap June 23rd, 2008 1:55 PM

is good Palkia but i like more steel (dialga)

Darkrai Lv X June 24th, 2008 9:25 AM

Dialga ROX!
He controlz TIME!If only he could help me go back and stop me from losing my Animal Crossing...

Gamewhale June 24th, 2008 10:34 AM

Palkia. It has better speed, a better moveset, and on top of that, it just looks better.

hothead June 24th, 2008 9:27 PM
