Origin Forme Palkia vs Dialga: Which Is A Waste of Raid Passes?

This weekend in Pokémon Go, two of the most powerful Legendaries return, but only one offers a game-changing advantage for every major event. In this episode, we settle the ultimate debate: Origin Forme Palkia vs Dialga—which one is truly worth your raid passes? We break down everything you need to know for the upcoming Ultra Unlock Raid Day to help you decide whether to hunt for Palkia with Spacial Rend or Dialga with Roar of Time.

During the Pokémon Go Ultra Unlock Raid Day on Sunday, August 10th (11 a.m. to 5 p.m. local time), both Origin Forme Palkia and Origin Forme Dialga will be available. The key to choosing between them lies in their exclusive Adventure Effects. Dialga's Roar of Time pauses the timer on items like Incense and Star Pieces, which is useful for hardcore grinds like hunting Galarian Birds with the Daily Adventure Incense. However, the real game-changer is the Origin Forme Palkia Adventure Effect. Its move, Spacial Rend, expands your wild Pokémon interaction radius for 10 minutes. This might sound simple, but it is the secret to catching hundreds more Pokémon—and shinies—during high-density events like Community Days, Spotlight Hours, and Go Fest.

We also compare their battle prowess. In PvP, Origin Forme Palkia currently dominates, ranking #3 in the Palkia Master League, while Origin Forme Dialga sits at #56. For raids, they are both top-tier attackers. Dialga is a phenomenal S-Tier Steel-type and A+ Tier Dragon-type attacker. Palkia is an S-Tier Dragon-type (beating Dialga slightly) and a decent A-Tier Water-type attacker. While Dialga may have the cooler shiny, we argue that the sheer utility of Spacial Rend makes Palkia the superior choice. The ability to see and catch more Pokémon is invaluable, especially since you can often recover the Stardust cost of using the ability during bonus events. We explain how using the Spacial Rend vs Roar of Time abilities can fundamentally change how you play.
