What to Prioritize

Dialga is back in 5-star raids, and this is your chance to add one to your roster or snag a shiny variant. Focus on getting at least one Dialga with the best IVs, ideally a 15/15/15, to maximize its potential in both raids and PvP. While Dialga's Dragon/Steel typing gives it a unique edge, remember that it thrives primarily in PvE content. If you're looking for a top-tier Pokémon for Master League, this is a must-catch.

Bonuses Worth Using

No bonuses are listed for this event, which means you'll want to go in prepared. Stock up on Ultra Balls and Pinap Berries to maximize your catch efficiency. Consider using a Golden Razz Berry to increase your odds of capturing Dialga, especially if you're aiming for that shiny. Not having bonuses means your skill will be the deciding factor in securing your catches.

Is It Worth Your Time?

Absolutely, if you're an active trainer. Dialga is a valuable asset for any player, particularly in the Master League where it performs exceptionally well. Even if you already have one, the shiny variant is a solid reason to partake in these raids. Shiny hunting is part of the thrill in Pokémon GO, and Dialga has a single shiny variant, making each raid feel important. If you have the resources and time, jump into these raids and make the most of this opportunity.
