    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'm assuming Dialga will be the better of the two, but I like Palkia better.. its sort of wolf-like. <3
     
    honestly i like dialga better, palkia's arms look weird...
     
    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.

    But the weakness and resistance favors Palkia

    Fine, this is place of opinions and you are free to yours,
     
    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
