Adamant Orb

Description

Raises the power of Dialga's Dragon and Steel moves by 20%.

Overview

The Adamant Orb provides Dialga an attack boost for its Dragon and Steel attacks. Dialga often uses strong Dragon attacks such as Draco Meteor or Outrage to hurt the Uber metagame. With the boost from the Adamant Orb, these attacks become quite powerful. Combining the Adamant Orb with stat-boosting moves such as Bulk Up provides quite the fearsome attacker.

The downside to the Adamant Orb is the fact that it only benefits Dialga's Dragon and Steel attacks, as opposed to all of its possible attacks. Furthermore, Dialga never uses any Steel type attacks in the Uber metagame. Because Dialga is such a versatile Uber Pokemon, it often uses attacks such as Thunder and Aura Sphere to hit opposing threats harder. The Adamant Orb boosts do not apply to these attacks, so running a Life Orb or Choice Specs might be a better option. Nonetheless, the Adamant Orb is nice for a non-recoil item that provides a significant stat-boost to Dialga's most used attacks.
