Considering Origin Forme Dialga is the original form of Dialga, it will likely be much stronger. As such, trainers will need to bring in their strongest Pokemon to counter this Legendary.

Here are the best counters for Origin Form Dialga’s 5-Star Raid:

Pokemon	Sprite	Best Moveset
Primal Groudon		Mud Shot & Precipice Blades
Mega Garchomp		Mud Shot & Earth Power
Mega Blaziken		Counter & Focus Blast
Shadow Hariyama		Counter & Dynamic Punch
Shadow Excadrill		Mud-Slap & Scorching Sands
