Can you transfer Dialga to Scarlet and Violet?
The answer to transferring Dialga to Scarlet and Violet is yes, but with certain conditions: you need to transfer one from Sword/Shield, BD/SP, or Legends Arceus first or ask someone who already has a specimen from those games to touch trade you first. This means that Dialga cannot be directly obtained in Scarlet and Violet without prior possession in another compatible game or through a trade with another player.
