Top Origin Forme Dialga Counters
Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Origin Forme Dialga counters as such:
- Mega Lucario: Force Palm, Aura Sphere
- Mega Blaziken: Counter, Aura Sphere
- Keldeo: Low Kick, Secret Sword
- Primal Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
- Shadow Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
- Lucario: Force Palm, Aura Sphere
- Mega Garchomp: Mud Shot, Earth Power
- Terrakion: Double Kick, Sacred Sword
- Shadow Blaziken: Counter, Aura Sphere
- Mega Heracross: Counter, Close Combat
It is recommended to power up your counters as much as possible, but creating that amount of strong Shadow Pokémon with their moves unlocked is a tall order for even the most practiced players. Here are ten additional non-Shadow and non-Mega counters that can help take down Origin Forme Dialga with efficiency.
- Therian Forme Landorus: Mud Shot, Sandsear Storm
- Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
- Kartana: Fury Cutter, Sacred Sword
- Blaziken: Counter, Aura Sphere
- Rapid Strike Urshifu: Counter, Dynamic Punch
- Single Strike Urshifu: Counter, Dynamic Punch
- Eternatus: Dragon Tail, Dynamax Cannon
- Excadrill: Mud-Slap, Scorching Sands
- Conkeldurr: Counter, Dynamic Punch
- Hisuian Decidueye: Psycho Cut, Aura Sphere
How Many Trainers Are Needed?
Origin Forme Dialga can be defeated by two trainers. If you cannot guarantee the top counters with maxed-out CP and the best moves, your best bet is to make sure you have three or more players. Using the Circle Lock Technique to guarantee Great or Excellent throws, along with Golden Razz Berries, is the best way to catch Pokémon. If you get a Shiny, though, it is a guaranteed catch so be sure to use a Pinap Berry.
Shiny Odds & 100% IVs
The Shiny rate for Legendary Pokémon is approximately one in 20. When looking for a Pokémon with the best stats, the 100% IV Origin Forme Dialga will have a CP of 2337 in normal weather conditions and 2921 in boosted conditions.
Road to Kalos Background
Trainers will have a chance of catching Legendaries with a Road to Kalos background exclusive to this event. Be sure to check your Pokémon after you catch it!
