Physical Dialga? Can it happen?

Question

So I got traded a shiny Dialga over wonder trade. I took it straight to the IV checker and to my delight, it had 6IVs. Obviously hacked.
But then I checked the Nature.
Adamant.
This hacker had a bad sense of humor.

What do I do with it? This is the set I'm thinking of:
Dialga @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Pressure
Adamant Nature
-Dragon Claw
-Iron Head
-Stone Edge
-Earthquake

Dialga's base 90 speed just doesn't cut it in Ubers. Why not try a Scarf?

duuude I literally just got a 6iv Shiny Ho-oh of wondertrade, but it's been EV trained in Attack XD

NICE! XD

I also received a shiny Kyogre with 6IV.. and Adamant! Those hackers aren't very nice :P

^ I got an Adamant Shiny Kyogre that was hacked to have exactly 0 IVs in every stat. Wooooow.

All hope is not lost!

Dialga gets Bulk Up, which is an awesome boosting move that helps to take advantage of Dialga's stellar typing and resistances to snag a few boosts. In Gen V the Bulkup Resttalk set was effective, and it used a Careful Nature Dialga. Now that there are Fairy types you can no longer run mono Dragon as an attack, but you can run a more offensive Bulk Up variant.

It carries a surprise factor too.

Dialga @ Chesto Berry
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk/4 SpD
Adamant Nature
-Bulk Up
-Rest
-Iron Head
-Dragon Claw

Or you can ditch Rest altogether and run Bulk Up + 3 Attacks.

Dialga @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk/4 SpD
Adamant Nature
-Dragon Claw
-Iron Head
-Earthquake
-Bulk Up

Hope I helped!
