Location Pokemon BDSP Dialga

Dialga is the resident time lord of Pokemon and the poster boy for the Brilliant Diamond version of the game. Note that this Legendary Pokémon can only be found in Brilliant Diamond. If you own Shining Pearl, you will find Palkia in place of Dialga.

How to catch Dialga

You will need to do a few things before catching Dialga in Pokemon BDSP. First, defeat Commander Jupiter in Lake Acuity and then fly to Veilstone City.

There you need to enter Team Galaxy HQ and talk to the Galactic Recruit. You will get the storage key from him, take the galactic warehouse key which is on the left side of the headquarters. Use the key and enter the warehouse.

Get past the scientist Frederick and you'll see a couple of poke balls on the ground. The one on the left side is the Galactic Key. Now go back and use this key to enter the headquarters and fight Cyrus and Commander Saturn.

After that, you can leave the building and go to Mount Coronet using Route 207. Go to the top fighting the Grunts on your way. When you reach the top, their Cyrus will summon Dialga. Here you have to fight Commander Jupiter and Mars.

After defeating them, you have to fight Cyrus again. Defeating him this time will bring Professor Rowan there. You can now use the Master Ball to catch Dialga. However, it's best to save the main ball for other legends and catch Dialga with a few more balls
