MetaMons competitive notes
Dialga is a steel/dragon-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Special Attack — at 680 BST it is a legendary-grade total for competitive play, with above-average speed (base 90) and a special attacking profile. Its Pressure ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Dialga. Build around what Dialga actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
