Overview
Behold the weirdo among dragons! While others are countered by their fellow dragons, the best bet for Daialga's Origin Forme is to punch it in the face! ...or throw some dirt at it.
While generally less sought-after than Palkia (Origin Forme), Dialga's origin forme has massive power of its own that makes it worth raiding, especially if you want to resist Dragons a bit better while using a Dragon. It's also not an outstandingly hard raid thanks to its top counters sporting useful resistances and a general lack of weaknesses worth mentioning here. 
Best Counters
Difficulty:  Dialga (Origin Forme) can be comfortably taken down by 3 trainers using any combination of the Supreme Counters. All of the Pokemon on this list can also work for a reliable duo, though some of the lower options get a little bit tight in the DPS department without boosts.
 Mega Lucario is still the apex Fighting Type, and it punches HARD... despite the fact that its moves aren't technically punches. Still, Fighting/Steeli is a great type here that resists most of what Dialga is capable of throwing out while dropping explosive damage.
 Force Palm* + Aura Sphere
 A contender for the top non-Mega/Primal counter here, Shadow Groudon hits like a truck, and is the top option for throwing dirt in Dialga's eyes.
Mud Shot + Precipice Blades*
 Poor Mega Garchomp is a MAJORLY powerful Pokemon, but it's always below the competition. Still, it's an outstanding backup option.
Mud Shot + Earth Power
 So how does Conkeldurr "punch" when it's literally hitting things with huge hunks of concrete? It's about like saying that I punched something after hitting it with a baseball bat.... made of solid rock.
Counter + Dynamic Punch
 Shadow Excadrill loves its Steel sub-typing, so it does a good job of breaking through Dialga and uprooting your garden.
Mud Slap + Scorching Sands
 It feels really weird to put PRIMAL GROUDON of all Pokemon in not-the-top-position, but here we are. A powerhouse of a Pokemon, Primal Groudon can pull ahead in clear weather, and is worthy of consideration over Mega Lucario if you're packing a lot of Ground Types, as it boosts them by simply existing on your team.
 Mud Shot + Precipice Blades*
 The other contender for the top non-Mega/Primal counter here, Lucario's OUTSTANDING moveset allows it to stand head-and-shoulders above the competition... despite being 3'11"/3.2m tall on average.
Force Palm* + Aura Sphere
 Evil land shark make big damage.
Mud Shot + Earth Power
 Self-frying chicken that hits hard.
Counter + Focus Blast
 Ah, Terrakion; the Pokemon that once had potential, but had no moveset worthwhile, but then got its signature move to live up to that potential. Just note that it really doesn't like Iron Head.
Double Kick + Sacred Sword*
