It appears in the Diamond & Pearl series, specifically the Great Encounters set, released in February 2008. The card’s flavor text highlights its mythic status as a Sinnoh-region deity capable of controlling time. Dialga has a resistance to Psychic-type attacks, reducing damage by 20, and is weak to Fire-type attacks, which increase damage by 20. Its two attacks include "Time Bellow," which costs one Metal energy to deal 10 damage and draw a card, and "Flash Cannon," requiring three energy to deal 40 damage while allowing the player to return attached Energy cards to their hand. The latter attack also enables the removal of a Stage Evolution card from the defending Pokémon’s deck. Designed by artist Daisuke Ito, this Rare card holdsdex number 483 and is part of the Pokémon TCG’s official lore.
It has the power to control time. It appears in Sinnoh-region myths as an ancient deity.
