Weaknesses of Dialga (Origin Form): This Pokémon belongs to the Steel and Dragon types and is vulnerable to Fighting and Ground. So focus on attacks of these types during the raid.

How many trainers are needed? If you have the top counter Pokémon and have reached a relatively high level (40+) in Pokémon GO, you can fight Dialga in its Origin Form with three players. At lower levels, but with strong counters, you should aim for more trainers.
