I have got past the Team Galactic Grunts through Mount Coronet, and now I have arrived at Spear Pillar, and Cyrus brings in Dialga, the Legendary Pokémon that controls time, with the Red Chain so that he can create a new universe for himself. I then have to deal with both Mars and Jupiter, and I get help from Barry in taking on the two commanders.

As for the rest of the description, I recommend watching the full video before reading past this point of the description

The moment you approach Cyrus on Spear Pillar, he then summons Dialga and has it create distortions in time, and create a new universe which he will then rule over, and you can see different locations in the Sinnoh region, and you can even see Drifloon if you are playing on a Friday. In Shining Pearl, Cyrus would bring in Palkia and has it create distortions in space, and you can see the Red Chain around Dialga or Palkia in that scene. When you try and step in, Mars and Jupiter will stop you, and Barry comes in and teams up with you in that fight. Barry's team is Munchlax, Staraptor, Heracross, his starter, and two of the three Pokémon of the Grass, Fire, or Water-type, so in this case, he has Roselia, Ponyta, and Empoleon, he would have Buizel instead of Empoleon depending on your starter, and he would have Torterra instead of Roselia, or Infernape instead of Ponyta. I will go over the commander's teams, starting with Mars.
Bronzor: Confuse Ray, Payback, Gyro Ball, Reflect
Golbat: Poison Fang, Bite, Haze, U-turn
Purugly: Aerial Ace, Body Slam, Dig, U-turn (Sitrus Berry)

Then there is Jupiter's team.
Bronzor: Confuse Ray, Payback, Extrasensory, Light Screen
Golbat: Air Cutter, Haze, Giga Drain, Sludge Bomb
Skuntank: Flamethrower, Poison Gas, Belch, Snarl (Sitrus Berry)

Both Bronzor like to set up screens, and both Purugly and Skuntank are really tough, and it is a good thing they improved Munchlax, because in the original games, Barry's Munchlax was a liability, and his other Pokémon were much helpful if you can defeat that Munchlax.
After beating the commanders, Barry leaves me to stop the boss, and when Cyrus has the Legendary Pokémon create a new galaxy, the Lake Trio show up and destroy the Red Chain, and this will enrage Cyrus into battling me, and here is his team, I will not spoil what happens in Platinum if you haven't played Platinum yet.
Honchkrow: Air Cutter, Night Slash, Steel Wing, Defog (Scope Lens)
Crobat: Cross Poison, Tailwind, Air Cutter, U-turn (Quick Claw)
Gyarados: Ice Fang, Waterfall, Crunch, Earthquake (Wacan Berry)
Weavile: Metal Claw, Fling, Dig, Aerial Ace (Chople Berry)

There are some thing I find questionable about Cyrus's team, his Crobat has a Quick Claw, I can understand it being good on slow Pokémon like Golem or Quagsire, but on Crobat, which is the fastest Pokémon in the Sinnoh Dex, I think that's dumb. All of Cyrus's Pokémon have a weakness to Rock, but he has some very powerful moves, his Honchkrow has a Scope Lens to ensure it will score critical hits, his Gyarados is a powerhouse, and Weavile is fast, Crobat can use Tailwind to support its teammates. Both Gyarados and Weavile have Berries to reduce damage from moves they are 4x weak to, and this is a tough fight if you are not prepared, good thing Barry heals us before that fight.
After beating Cyrus, his team leaves, and Professor Rowan and Dawn show up, and they tell you to try and calm Dialga down, and it is time to fight the deity of time.
Dialga is a Steel/Dragon-type Pokémon, it is Level 47, and it knows Roar of Time, this is a Dragon-type Hyper Beam where after it is used, Dialga cannot attack on the next turn, and this is really cool battle theme, it even got remixed in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Spear Pillar itself was a stage in that game as well, and I do also like how they remastered that battle theme into the remakes. In the original games, Dialga and Palkia had a catch rate of 30, this was equal to Chatot, so they were easier to catch, but in this game, they have the standard Legendary Pokémon catch rate, so they will be difficult to catch, make sure you have a Pokémon above Level 47 so that they won't be even more harder to catch.
I will go over Dialga, and I might record that fight in Shining Pearl, as you would fight Palkia in that game, but as this is Brilliant Diamond, I am up against Dialga. After catching Dialga, do not turn back yet, there is the Adamant Orb, this boosts the power of Dialga's Dragon and Steel-type moves when equipped, in Shining Pearl, it would be the Lustrous Orb. Dialga is an excellent Pokémon to add to your team if you don't mind using Legendary Pokémon, as it comes at a high level, and it has Flash Cannon and Roar of Time, although you can choose to replace it with Draco Meteor if you don't like Roar of Time's effect of preventing you from attacking. It does get some good moves like Aura Sphere and Earth Power, and some good TMs like Flamethrower, Thunderbolt, and a few others.
