Biology

Part of the Pokémon of Myth created by Arceus, Dialga has complete control over time and it can use it to travel to the past, present, future, as well as to start and stop time at will. It appears as a deity in myths and legends. It is thought that when Dialga was born, time began, and with every heart beat, time grows more stable.

In the past, it was worshipped as a deity by the Diamond Clan as "almighty Sinnoh", which was mistaken for its creator Arceus.
