Dialga is passionately loved by competitive players in Pokemon Go, as this dual Steel- and Dragon-type Pocket Monster has performed consistently well in the open Master League of the Pokemon GO Battle League. With solid stats, an impressive moveset, and a more than decent elemental typing coverage, Dialga is always going to make a splash in the competitive scene of this game.

In this article, we will take a look at the best teams that you can put Dialga in to get the best results in the GO Battle League.


Best team for Dialga in Great League of Pokemon GO

Every format of the Pokemon GO Battle League has a Combat Power cap. They are as follows:

  • Great League is capped at 1,500 Combat Power.
  • The Ultra League is capped at 2,500 Combat Power.
  • The Master League has no Combat Power limit. You can use any Pocket Monster regardless of its Combat Power.

In this game, you can acquire a Dialga only through five-star legendary raids. As a result, this beast’s CP will always be greater than 1,500. Even if you trade it to reroll the IVs and lower its CP, it won’t go below 1,500.

Thus, you cannot use Dialga in the Great League of the GO Battle League.

Dialga fails to perform well in the Ultra League as a Combat Power (CP) cap of 2,500 is too low for it to stretch its arms and whittle its enemies. Its stats fail to leave a mark like they do in the open Master League. If you still want to use it in the Ultra League, here’s a team for you:

  • Talonflame as the Lead (Ranked at #62 with a rating of 86.3).
  • Dialga as the Safe Swap (Ranked at #384 with a rating of 71.3).
  • Trevenant as the Closer (Ranked at #60 with a rating of 86.5).

Attacks of every beast in this team:
