Raid guide
How the fight goes and what to bring.
Dialga is paired with Shadow Landorus in the current five-star rotation, while Mega Dragonite is in Mega Raids. The listed counters include Mega Blaziken, Mega Lucario, Primal Groudon, Mega Garchomp, Mega Heracross and Mega Alakazam, alongside Shadow Blaziken and Shadow Groudon; the overlap on Blaziken and Groudon gives you a Mega or Shadow option for each. If you bring a Mega, it can boost the other trainers’ damage, with a larger boost for attacks sharing its type. Snow and windy weather are listed boosts for Dialga. Beyond the chance of a shiny encounter, there’s no catch-specific use supplied here, so I wouldn’t spend heavily on raids for a promised PvE or PvP payoff.
Dialga (Origin) resists Grass, Poison, Bug, Electric, Flying, Normal, Psychic, Rock, Steel, Water — leave those attackers out even if they are your highest CP.
