The new raid boss Dialga reigns over the arenas of Pokémon GO and some players showcase impressively how to defeat the Pokémon with just two players.
This is the raid boss: Many players have been waiting for this and now the legendary Pokémon is here: Dialga can now be found in level 5 raids!
The Dragon and Steel-type Pokémon is actually hard to defeat, yet some players demonstrate how it can be done with just two. We will show you a selection of videos and tell you how you can achieve it, too.
How to defeat Dialga with two players
How does it work? Dialga is especially vulnerable to fighting-type Pokémon. Your best choice here is Machamp. But Pokémon like Hariyama or Conkeldurr are also good against Dialga.
You can find a larger list of counters in our guide to Dialga .
The easiest way: To have the best chances of defeating Dialga with two players, you need a team of six Machamps. These should all be at maximum level.
This is what you need to consider: To take Dialga down with two players, weather bonuses are necessary. You can only successfully complete the raid in cloudy weather.
It can also be done differently: While Machamp is the best choice, you can also succeed with other fighting-type Pokémon and weather bonuses. There are two players who managed to defeat the legendary boss using only a team of Blaziken.
Is it worth it? Of course, it’s cool to defeat such a strong Pokémon using only Blaziken. Nonetheless, you have to weigh whether it’s worth investing that much Stardust. After all, you need six Blaziken at maximum level for that.
There are other ways to do it: Besides Machamp, you can also defeat the legendary Pokémon with Conkeldurr and Hariyama. So you can definitely try it with a mix of Pokémon.
Can I do it too? If you have enough Stardust or a strong fighting team, then you can certainly give it a try. The Pokémon should be at maximum level, so you must be at least level 38.
This is behind the challenge: For each raid boss, trainers are tasked with defeating the bosses with as few players as possible. So far, there have been:
- Two trainers who defeated Cresselia
- Players who defeated Kyogre using only Pikachu
- Two players who defeated Palkia
- Trainers who defeated Deoxys alone.
Once you have caught Dialga, the question arises as to whether Dialga is even good:
