Dialga

Description

The number one slot in the 2007 Diamond & Pearl base set belongs to Dialga, a Basic Pokémon card that establishes the Sinnoh region's foundational mythology. Dialga is listed with 90 Hit Points, reflecting its role as a sturdy Basic stage Pokémon ready for play from the very start of a game. The card features two distinct attacks that highlight its temporal abilities. The first, Metal Time Bellow, costs a single Metal and one Colorless energy to draw a card, providing immediate resource advantage. The second attack, Flash Cannon, requires two Metal and one Colorless energy for 40 damage. Its unique effect allows you to return all Energy cards attached to Dialga to your hand, but the trade-off is removing the highest Stage Evolution card from the Defending Pokémon and shuffling it back into their deck. Designed by artist Nakaoka, this card serves as a cornerstone for anyone completing the Diamond & Pearl set. The Holo Rare treatment gives the card a distinctive sheen that separates it from common cards, making it a visual anchor for the collection. For investors and long-term holders, the combination of a top-set number, a legendary subject, and a classic 2007 print run makes this a enduring piece of Pokémon history. Whether you are building a Sinnoh deck or adding to a vintage collection, this Dialga card represents a pivotal moment in trading card game design.
