How to Defeat Dialga in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time Using Balbasaur & Torchic

Part of the appeal of the 2008 Nintendo DS game "Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time" is that you play not as a human trainer, but as a Pokemon. You're actually a human transformed into a Pokemon and the questions you answer at the start of the game will determine which of sixteen Pokemon you are. You may be either a Bulbasaur or a Torchic, for example. You can also recruit other Pokemon during your journey, so you may head to the final boss fight against Dialga with a team of Bulbasaur and Torchic.

Instructions

- 1
  Enter battle with a stock of at least 10 Reviver Seeds. The more Reviver Seeds you bring to battle, the better. Expect that you or your Pokemon partner will become knocked out throughout the battle. Prioritize their revival whenever they're knocked out. Dialga's "Roar of Time" attack is especially damaging.
- 2
  Attack with Bulbasaur's Ice attacks, such as Ice Beam and Blizzard. Bulbasaur's regular Water attacks will cause damage, but the Ice attacks will cause more damage.
- 3
  Attack with Torchic's long-range attacks, such as "Flamethrower." Dialga isn't particular weak against Fire attacks, but using long-range attacks allows you to keep Torchic out of Dialga's immediate range. This minimizes the damage to Torchic.
- 4
  Throw Sleep Seeds or X Eyes Seeds. They won't always stick on Dialga, but when they do, they will temporarily cause Dialga to stop attacking or to miss while it attacks.
