Esca26 days ago(screw 600 character limit, or not being able to separate opinions by modes) Not good for late Endless accounts. If it's your first legendary though, not *unusable* as carry. Outclassed by later game stuff as its spread has immunities to it and Dialga has nearly zero lategame utility, but it does have a great matchup into most wave 50s as well as 250, so it is at the very least more worth considering than most other "random" legendaries like Zacian or Miraidon. Still, the moment you unlock an actually great carry like Kyogre, Groudon or HA Regigigas, you should not look at Dialga ever again.

Possible Top 5 Classic mon with full unlocks. Incredibly bulky with a type that has little weaknesses and strong offensive power, and VERY hard to kill with Recover while setting up with Take Heart or Berserk. Strong spread damage too. Easily handles most of the game by itself. The lack of natural recovery or good setup makes it much worse without unlocks, but its typing still makes it an amazing stat check that can cornerstone teams and threaten the big bad dragons at the end.
