RegenVest Dialga-O acts as a reliable pivot and a check to some special attackers like Miraidon and Eternatus. Revelation Dance hits Flutter Mane and Mega Audino for major damage, preventing the former from using Dialga-O as a free Nasty Plot window and the latter from using it as a free Teleport window. Doom Desire can enable attackers that struggle to break through Fairy-type walls like Mega Garchomp and Ash-Greninja due to their one-sided wallbreaking nature shoehorning your opponent into specific response patterns; alternatively, Draco Meteor threatens Miraidon and Eternatus. Additionally, Revelation Dance + Draco Meteor hits both Flutter Mane and Dragon-type attackers, (comma) but Dialga-O can't provide Doom Desire support if this combination is run. Replacing either move with Doom Desire forces you to pick what Dialga-O can and can't beat, but it's still able to pivot into a teammate that takes care of foes that it struggles with. Knock Off removes key items such as Assault Vest from RegenVest Mega Steelix, Salt Cure heavily deters Steel-types that would otherwise endlessly wall Dialga-O, Rapid Spin acts as decent entry hazard removal, and Stone Axe can be used as a reliable way to set entry hazards. A Quiet nature is recommended for Revelation Dance to potentially KO Flutter Mane after three turns of burn damage and Draco Meteor to OHKO Miraidon, but a Sassy nature provides greater safety against threats like Mega Alakazam. Teammates that struggle to break through Fairy-types appreciate Dialga-O hitting them with Doom Desire, (comma) as mentioned previously, along with the slow pivoting it provides. Teammates vulnerable to Thunder Cage and Mortal Spin like Mega Slowbro also appreciate Dialga-O checking users of these moves. Dialga-O cannot break through Steel-types without Salt Cure, so a Pokemon that can pivot in and break them like Magic Guard Ho-Oh makes for a good partner. Dialga-O is heavily reliant on Assault Vest to actually check threats, so a partner that can absorb Knock Off like Arceus-Ghost also synergizes well with it. Imposter-proof Dialga-O with a neutral Ice Scales user, a Steel-type if it's not running Salt Cure, or Imposter Chansey if it's not running Knock Off.
