Dialga

Dialga, keeper or not?

Yeah, I know that people frown upon the use of ubers, and to be fair I don't really intend on using Dialga much, if at all. However, I want to make sure the Dialga I get is defintely worth it.

I don't have a problem catching it since it's just 2 Surfs from Empoleon and around 1-5 Great balls to capture it.

Anyhow, the current Dialga I have has:

Nature - Quiet
HP: 163
Att: 120
Def: 132
Sp.Att: 176
Sp.Def: 108
Spd: 80

Not the best nature, and it's speed blows. I know that since I've had much higher from non speed boosting natures, but according to this ( http://216.239.59.104/search?q=cach...tml&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=uk&client=firefox-a ) it's IVs seem to be 27 6 31 31 21 0. I know that IV calculators aren't exactly reliable until you've hit level 100 and maxed out your stats, but it's the only useful thing I've found so far.

So, should I keep on hoping that I'll get a modest one with similar stats, or just make do with what I have. Like I said, I have no problem with capturing it again since it takes less than 4 minutes. I've had some slightly better (over most stats, especially speed), and slightly worse.

Cheers.

Pretty slow. It even has a -Speed Nature. That said, the Sp.Atk is incredible, and the other stats should ensure he takes a hit. Right now I'm resetting to get a good one myself, and I'd probably take that one, though not as enthusiastically as if I caught one with better speed.
 
I think I'm going to take the dive and go for another one, maybe. My DS has been on standby since I made that thread :)

If it's speed was around 95 or higher, I'd be okay with it, happy if it was 100+. Damn shame it isn't.

Edit: Okay, I posted the same thread on TPM and rinku posted this:

Okay. Done the maths, and the IV ranges are as follows:

HP: 26-27
A: 5-6
D: 31
SA: 30-31
SD: 20-21
S: 0

That gives untrained stats at L50 and L100 of:

HP: 173, 336-337
A: 127-128, 250-251
D: 140, 276
SA: 187, 368-369
SD: 115, 225-226
S: 85, 166

Max L100 special attack with full effort training is going to be 437-438, which I think would command respect *anywhere*. Defenses are good to excellent, so speed is not as crucial.

Nah, I'm trying to get a decent Dialga to keep. Sorry mate. Unfortunately, the one of the best I've had so far has sucky speed and I still don't know whether or not it's a keeper.

Would of been better with a Modest Nature, But he's more of a tank sweeper any way.

Yeah, that's what Dialga I'm looking for. But there's no guarantee that its stats will be anywhere near as good (apart from in speed), that's why I'm really iffy about it. And my DS is still on standby lol
 
i dun really care bout nature... i got it by throwing a quickball first thing and now its in my lineup. just checked i got quirky nature... i dun no how good/bad that is
 
Just went to pick up my older brother from Hospital, before we left I left my DS in the kitchen. When we got back, he took it and reset it by accident since it takes a second or two for Pokémon to boot back up. Looks like I'm going to have to wait for another similar Dialga.

Ah well.
