    it is one of the 4 legendary dogs. i have researched on about lots of legendary pokemon. ansol IS one of them. but one different thing:you can get as much as you want, and you can only get them in R/S/E. i wish i could prove that as=bsol IS a legendary dog, but, i just know it.

    err, i try to edit my post but it dont work. why is this thread turning from palkia or diaga to the 4 legendary dogs?

    Lol, Absol is not a legendary, for one legendaries have very high Base Stats, lol this is Absol's in comparison to Suicune:

    Absol:
    Hp: 65
    Attack: 130
    Defense: 60
    Sp. Attack: 75
    Sp. Def: 60
    Speed: 75

    Total = 465

    Suicune:
    Hp: 100
    Attack: 75
    Defense: 115
    Sp. Attack: 90
    Sp. Def: 115
    Speed: 85

    Total = 580

    HUGE difference, and also, a LEGENDARY in pokemon, means there is ONLY ONE, they are RARE, not common and they are usually strong, Absol, is one the weak pokemons, and should never be used, IMO. And another thing, you cannot breed legendary's but you can breed Absol...So he's not a legendary...

    damn you above guy. anyways, hes right. Absols stats are much weaker than legendary dogs. i mean really, if absol was legendary there would not be a bunch of them everywhere. and its not turning into a discussion about the THREE legendary dogs, i was only pointing out that you were being an idiot. we werent talking about any dogs at all. someone mentioned, as there reason for picking dialga over palkia, that it was just like when he chose so and so over the other legendarys. i quoted him, and stated that i liked raikou better, then all of a sudden you DOUBLE POST, quoting me on the second one, JUST to say that you though entei was the best, and then absol, and then blah and you started talking about how absol was a legendary dog. Absol ISNT EVEN A DOG!

    gee, you're stupid. absol is a dog. YOU CAN TELL!!!! why i am even replying to you, i don't know why. look, Absol IS a legendary dog. dark, fire, electric,water, like eevee. only without phsycic. think, absol is stronger than deoxys. and here's a demonstration:

    how much absol gains a lvl

    HP:3
    AT:5
    DEF:4
    SP.AT:5
    SP.DEF:2
    SPEED: 4

    total:23 points a lvl

    how much deoxys gains a lvl

    HP:2
    AT:5
    DEF:3
    SP.AT:4
    SP.DEF:1
    SPEED:3

    total:15 points a lvl

    that proves that absol is 8 points better than deoxys. but he is worse than the legendary dogs, i know. anyway, back to palkia and dialga!

    OMFG..... *Dies from Ltr_17's Stupidity*

    Deoxys has a Base Stat Total of 600!
    Absol has a Base Stat Total of 465

    Absol would be pwned by Deoxys.

    Lol, Someone help me explain to the noob that he's incorrect.

    Tell me why Absol wan't included in the legendary trio from GSC?, Because If you didn't know, Raikou, Suicune and Entei came from the GSC era, but I guess you wouldn't know otherwise you wouldn't be stating crap.

    Lol recount deoxys stat gains on your post, it's 18 not 15

    The pink one is worse than the blue one. No idea the difference. That's just how I tell them apart.

    Wow, way to be willingly ignorant and racist against Pokemon. <.<;;

    Dialga (blue one) = 680 base stats. Palkia (pink one) = 680 base stats. In terms of stats, they're on par with each other. Now let's make the comparison:

    HP
    Dialga: 100
    Palkia: 90
    Dialga > Palkia.

    Attack
    Dialga: 120
    Palkia: 120
    Dialga = Palkia.

    Defense
    Dialga: 120
    Palkia: 100
    Dialga > Palkia.

    Special Attack
    Dialga: 150
    Palkia: 150
    Dialga = Palkia.

    Special Defense
    Dialga: 100
    Palkia: 120
    Dialga < Palkia.

    Speed
    Dialga: 90
    Palkia: 100
    Dialga < Palkia.

    So as you see here, Dialga has more HP and Defense, while Palkia has more Special Defense and Speed. So here it all boils down to your own choices. Dialga can take one more hit than Palkia, but Palkia has a better chance of launching an attack first.

    Now, movesets. Let's compare these two on their signature moves. Dialga's got Roar of Time, for 150 base damage, and disables its opponent from attacking the next turn. Palkia's Spacial Rend, however, only has 100 base power, but with a high critical ratio, it probably can go on par with Roar of Time.

    Of course, this is all just hypothetic, any any factor from nature, to EVs, to hold items, to even the simplest element of tactics can sway the battle. The entire point is that the two are pretty much balanced in their abilities when compared.

    So... yeah. What was my point again? *Scrolls up* Oh yeah. Don't hate Palkia just because he's pink, you racist. :P

    I think Dialga looks cooler and his control over time is much more appealing than control over space. Palkia's typing is really cool and I like its stat distribution. I like Dialga better but Palkia is cool too.

    Okay, I'll post off-topic to help you...but just this once ;)

    that proves that absol is 8 points better than deoxys. but he is worse than the legendary dogs, i know.

    O.O

    First off, which Deoxys are we talking here? You've got FOUR different versions to deal with...

    Second, you can NOT, I repeat, NOT judge a Pokemon by how much its stats grew in a level, especially with EVs around to mess up those numbers. Give me the right setup and I can have a Deoxys' stats shoot up by around 10 a piece in one level.

    Third, you're judging status of a Legendary by what kind of animal it is...okay, so that must mean that Pidgey is a Legendary Bird. I mean, it's a bird, right? So by your logic, it MUST be a Legendary [/sarcasm]

    Fourth, what are you thinking?? ABSOL IS NOT A LEGENDARY DOG! Honestly...look, besides the pitiful base stats, Absol can be CAUGHT IN THE WILD IN A SET LOCATION MORE THAN ONCE. THEREFORE THERE IS NO WAY WHATSOEVER THAT IT CAN BE A LEGENDARY, MUCH LESS A LEGENDARY DOG. Get your facts straight.

    I'm not exactly sure why you guys are talking about the legendary dogs here, but please stay on topic so I don't have to get a mod in here.

    Mini-modding...? Meh. It came out from the main conversation. Just look higher up the page.

    Personaly i would prefer Dialga too, but since everyone and his dog seem to agree with it, i might say Palkia.
    Just for looks, not realy stat wise.

    Shows how shallow you are. J/K :laugh: That seems to be a popular answer and I just don't see how some people think that. But each to his own.

    I would kind of like to say that my point is kind of proven. I didn't really mean that Palkia would own Dialga , I meant to say that it can match up with Dialga and that their movesets are both strong against eachother and weak against eachother. So if you were to choose between them it wouldn't matter. Now if Giradina were a version exclusive.... Then it's most likely that people will choose giradina. Oh and nice on pointing out the pokemon racism lol:laugh::P

    Um , didn't you read Ichida's post and my quote/post as well? They (Dialga and Palkia) Are both equal statwise , just in different stats , and have movesets that can cancel eachother out. So neither of them is better than the other.

    precisely why im getting both. i still dont understand how noobs are as dumb as they are. theres a post right above them, explaining to them that they are wrong yet they post such nonsense.
    in all seriousness, i like em both. i used to prefer dialga, but now im starting to like palkia as well

    you know what, Dialga is zucky

    Palkia is

    10 to the power of 100 into the power of 10 to the power of 100 % times better than dialga
    (i did that because the number googleplex would take me five (full)posts and i do not want Quin. post:D )
    NO IT'S NOT BECAUSE I LIKE PINK!!(im a male...:cheeky: )

    I always wanted to be an astronaut and palkia is enspiring, and now that you mention it, the type advantages and disadvantages.
