  • I don't care much for legendary pokemon, but if i had to choose it would be Dialga simply because it looks better.

  • I'd say Dialga because I had Diamond first, it looks better and just because it's types are better over Palkia's. Well... my opinion xD

  • I don't really care for either of them, to be honest... :\

    However, I prefer Dialga, although it does sound like a horse xD Also, I think being able to control time would be more awesome than stopping space (Celebi! :3)

    So yeah, Dialga for me. Plus, I bought Diamond so... :D

  • I say they are both equal. Yes Dialga could use Roar Of Time and be super effective but Palkia could use a ground type move and do the same to Dialga. If you read the legends about them then it says they are made equal as the controllers of Time and Space.

    Does it?? Palkia's always faster.

    Anyway, Giratina rocks both of them, it could just chase them into the Distortion World, and lock them in

  • Okay...i see a lot of people said "oh Dialga can stop time and destroy Palkia,but if Dialga destroys Palkia-Space there will be no Space/universe which time need space to support the flow of time,so its basiccly equal but i chose Dialga because it looks cool.

    I don't like using legendaries on my team in game so I don't use either. Palkia, therefore, wins for me based solely on aesthetics <3.

  • They are each powerful in their own respects. Palkia Is faster, but dialga is less vulnerable and more powerful. Dialga is generally superior in a fight because of the type advantage and because palkia can't learn moves dialga is particularly weak to. That and the ability to control time is a bit more powerful to control space. They are by no means my favorite dragons or pokemon.

    Diagla has the power to control time, which gives it an overwhelming advantage if it was fighting with Palkia.

    I voted equal, because they both have things I like and hate about them, Palkia looks like a pink and white Groudon IMO and Dailga looks badass but to much like a legendary beast. In terms of strengh I don't realy care. All Pokemon can be strong if your prepared to EV train them :D

    Hey, guys. Just because Dialga can beat Palkia doesn't mean it's better. Shedinja can easily beat Kyogre, but does that mean Shedinja is better?

    Also, on Smogon's Shoddy Battle server, Palkia is the second most used Pokémon in Ubers (after said Kyogre). Dialga is 5th. So most competitive battlers think Palkia is better :)
