Getting the legendary Pokémon Dialga in Pokémon Legends: Arceus is a key part of the main story. You can't miss it! To get Dialga, you must choose to side with the Diamond Clan when given the choice. This happens towards the end of the game's main missions.

So, you've been traveling all over the Hisui region, calming the frenzied noble Pokémon and filling out your Pokédex. It all leads up to a big moment at the Temple of Sinnoh. Here, you'll be faced with a big decision that determines which legendary Pokémon you'll catch first. Don't worry, you can get both Dialga and Palkia eventually, but this choice decides the order.

How to Get Dialga

To catch Dialga, you need to progress through the main story until you reach the mission called "Atop Mount Coronet." During this mission, you will have to make a choice between Adaman, the leader of the Diamond Clan, and Irida, the leader of the Pearl Clan. If you choose to go with Adaman and the Diamond Clan, you will battle and catch Dialga first.

I remember when I got to this part of the game. I really wanted Dialga on my team because its Steel/Dragon typing is so cool. I chose Adaman without a second thought. It felt like a huge moment, and I was so excited to finally face off against the master of time!

Once you make your choice, you'll head to the top of Mount Coronet and face Dialga in a battle. It's a tough fight, so make sure your team is ready. I had my whole team leveled up and ready to go. My Luxray was a huge help in the battle, using its strong electric moves. After a long battle, I finally caught it in an Ultra Ball. It was such a great feeling to add a legendary to my team.

After you've caught Dialga and finished the main story, you'll be able to get Palkia too. You'll get a new mission that allows you to go back to the Temple of Sinnoh and face the other legendary Pokémon. So, no matter which one you choose first, you can always get the other one later. It's great that the game lets you catch all the legendary Pokémon in Legends Arceus.

If you're looking to make some in-app purchases for items that can help you in your Pokémon journey, like more Poké Balls or potions, consider using Playstorm. You can play fun mobile games, earn gems, and redeem them for Nintendo eShop gift cards. It's a great way to get some extra help in the game without spending real money.
