Dialga or Palkia
With the new games, D/P, coming closer to relese in the US what version exlusive legendary do think or know will be better, Dialga or Palkia? And why?
|
I have know Idea what their types are. But, I'm guessing Dialga.
|
Dialga is steel/dragon and Palkia is water/dragon
|
I think Dialga will be 100% better than Palkia

I think Palkia will be alot better than Dialga, this is because of Dialga's type. Dialga is a Steel/Dragon, Whereas Palkia is a Water/Dragon. This makes Dialga weak to these following types:
Normal - Half Damage Fire - Normal Damage Water - Half Damage Electric - Half Damage Grass - Quarter Damage Ice - Normal Damage Fight - 2x Super Effective Poison - No Damage Ground - 2x Super Effective Flying - Half Damage Psychic - Half Damage Bug - Half Damage Rock - Half Damage Ghost - Half Damage Dragon - Normal Damage Dark - Half Damage Steel - Half Damage What will screw him up is that he's weak to ground, And what is the most commonly used ground move? Yes! thats right it's EARTHQUAKE, And because Palkia can learn it, Dialga doesn't really stand a chance because Palkia's base speed stat is 10 points higher, so Palkia will always outrun him, He's also weak to Fighting, which D/P brought plenty of fighting moves in, Such as Pulse Bomb, with a power of 90, and it cannot miss. Here are Palkia's weaknesses: Normal - Normal Damage Fire - Quarter Damage Water - Quarter Damage Electric - Normal Damage Grass - Normal Damage Ice - Normal Damage Fight - Normal Damage Poison - Normal Damage Ground - Normal Damage Flying - Normal Damage Psychic - Normal Damage Bug - Normal Damage Rock - Normal Damage Ghost - Normal Damage Dragon - 2x Super Effective Dark - Normal Damage Steel - Half Damage So yeah, Palkia has WAY better defenses then Dialga, although Dialga's Time Roar will be a ***** to Palkia,as 150 power STAB so thats like 225 power and it's super effective to Palkia, Yikes! Other than that move, I think Palkia will own Dialga. |
some things i dont understand about your list (and theory) is that, based on the list, what you said you make palkia practically equal to dialga. heres what i think.
Here are Palkia's weaknesses: Normal - Half Damage Fire - Normal Damage : something tells me you just copied the two lists, or just forgot to change this. water and dragon together and fire doing normal damage? Water - Half Damage Electric - 2x Super Effective : Palkias dragon part voids his water parts weakness to electricity Grass - Normal Damage Ice - Quarter Damage Fight - 2x Super Effective : since when has dragon or water either been weak to fighting? Poison - No Damage Ground - 2x Super Effective : same thing as fighting, water and dragon arent weak to ground. Flying - Half Damage Psychic - Half Damage Bug - Half Damage Rock - Half Damage Ghost - Half Damage Dragon - Half Damage : Dragon is weak to dragon in case you forgot, and since water isnt, id say that palkia (and dialga) are weak to dragon. Dark - Half Damage Steel - Quarter Damage although i prefer dialga in image and on my personal likings, i think palkia has a slight advantage with their given types. |

Well, id say their practicall equal. i mean, dialga is weak to fighting and ground. but his steel counterpart weakens his dragon weakness hed have without steel. seeing as palkia is still weak to dragon and dialga isnt, that could be bad. you have to take the moves they learn into consideration. dialga learns a 150 damage dragon move at lvl 40, meaning it already has it. palkia doesnt learn any fighting or ground moves until after 60. assuming the battle between them is after they are caught, dialga would most likely win because of the move it has. would good is a weakness if you dont have any moves of that type, right?
|
your not thinking about it. look at the attack powerful dailga and compare it with palkia you will see that dailga is 10000000000000000000% better

PALKIA: Hp - 90 Atk - 120 Def - 100 SpAtk - 150 SpDef - 120 Spd - 100 DIALGA: Hp - 100 Atk - 120 Def - 120 SpAtk - 150 SpDef - 100 Spd - 90 Dialga has more health, but Palkia has more speed. Dialga has more defense, but Palkia has more Special defense. other than that, they are equal. and considering all the facts, neither one is better. its a matter of opinion and personal tastes for which one you want also, i think 47, thats what it says on serebii. they could be mistaken though |
I have a preference for Dialga. I think he/it looks better than Palkia. Other than that,they're evenly matched (When was the last time you've seen 2 pokemon so evenly matched?)
|
Level 47, huh that seems off. But ok
|
I prefer Palkia but I know that Dialga will sadly be far better.
