They both seem equal to me and the only main difference I see is that Dialga has Roar of Time and Palkia has Spacial Rift, so they probably would both knock each other out.

Diagla would win,
It weighs moar it's taller.
Also it has roar of time which is more powerful than any of Palkia's moves.
Also, time controls space, so I think my mind's been made up =3

Giratina would win. But between those two I say Palkia would win due to a better signature move.

Palkia cause Spacial Rend has Hit Crit Ratio and Roar of Time needs to recharge. Palkia also has one weakness and Dialga has two. Palkia can learn Aura Sphere (super effective) and Palkia is just awesome cause it isn't a fat Giraffe (like Dialga).

Dialga becuz palkia has dragon types as his only weakness
Dialga used Roar of Time!
It missed becuz dialga can't touch this.
Dialga used Roar of Time again!
Palkia faints. Sad :(

dialga should win. soften palkia up with earth power/aura sphere, then finish it off with roar of time.

timid choice specs palkia. using earth power, stands a good chance though.

Dialga because He can possibly Pause time and KO Palkia.OR Palkia who can send Dialga through an alternate horrible dimension in Space.I'd say they are perhaps evenly matched ^^

Dialga would win, if only due to type, but in the hands of a capable defensive player it would storm the competition. It could use Dragon moves on Palkia, who's Dragon moves are only average and water moves are not very effective.

Dialga would win. As dragon types, they're both weak against dragon, but Palkia's Dragon-type moves aren't going to be too effective on Dialga considering Dialga's secondary Steel type.

If only they made steel weak against water, then the balance would equalize...

I think dialga would win due to its sheer sweeping abilities, but Palkia is better overall because of the awesome dragon/water typing, meaning it has few weaknesses.

This is a tough one..... but overall,
I would pick Palkia it's seems to be
stronger than Dialga but I don't see how.

Considering they represent space and time, they shouldn't be fighting at all, but rather working together as one and the same (unlike Groudon and Kyogre).

Simple Version:

However, if they were to get into some quarrel, I think Dialga would have the upper hand - and this is why: If you bend space, you still would need to travel across point A to point B to an observer - even though it would be extremely fast depending on how you bent it, it still is a definite path. However, if you stop time completely - thus the observer is unable to actually determine your actual path because it is actually at several places at the same period of time - you would effectively teleport without having a definite path. This makes Palkia always slower than Dialga, meaning that Dialga can more readily dodge Palkia's attacks and Palkia has more difficulty dodging Dialga's.

Extended Version:

Palkia's path, speed and acceleration can be determined because it is differentiable - it is an actual path. Dialga's path is non-continuous (because it can stop time) and it can change its position instantaneously. To calculate Dialga's speed when it changes position when it stops time would be dividing by zero, as shown in the example below:

If Dialga teleports 10 meters, its speed would be distance/time. Since it stops time, no time actually passes to an observer when it travels - thus it's speed would be 10/0, which does not exist (actually it's speed would be infinite, because as the it's time gets shorter and shorter the speed gets faster and faster (the limit of 10/0 as X approaches 0 is infinity). Infinity isn't actually a number though so it doesn't really matter). How is Palkia supposed to hit something moving at an infinite speed?

Palkia changes distance, Dialga changes time. Because of this, Dialga has a huge advantage as explained above.

Lol, I think I agree with this one. In a more simplified way, Dialga would win becasue it controls time, thats final ^^

Dialga would simply go back in time and crush Palkia's egg before it even hatched, causing space to be non-existant and time would rule the galaxy. At least until Arceus created another Egg for Palkia. Then Dialga would prevent Arceus from being born and Dialga would be the new Arceus! So yeah, there you go.

But talking stat-wise, I don't know.

Quite frankly I am sick of Dialga. Palkia is stronger type matching wise and looks much cooler than Dialga.

Yeah, you smacked it in the face and showed it whose boss.


Seriously though I agree with Hark, Dialga has a huge advantage.. But we all know Ditto is the the real winner.
