[SET COMMENTS]
Choice Band Diggersby is used to beat bulkier threats like Sylveon and Snorlax without the need of a coverage move. Giga Impact and Earthquake are Diggersby's go-to STAB moves, which when combined with Huge Power, powers through bulky threats like Sylveon, Snorlax, Arcanine, and Incineroar. Wild Charge is used to strengthen Diggersby's matchups against Flying-types like Corviknight and Gyarados and should also be used against Primarina due to the higher accuracy and avoiding being revenge killed by Chilan Berry sets. Fire Punch covers Steel-types that Earthquake can't beat like Ferrothorn and Hustle Durant in the case that a move misses. The HP and Special Defense EVs provided are allocated to survive two Air Slashes from Choice Scarf Togekiss and one Overheat from Choice Scarf Chandelure. The Speed EVs are used to outspeed fast Cloyster and Bisharp, as well as maximum investment base 60s such as Incineroar and Primarina.

Diggersby struggles with stall Pokemon like Galarian Corsola and Defensive Corviknight, so it works well with stallbreakers like Taunt Incineroar, Zeraora, and Cinderace. In return, Diggersby can take on bulky offensive threats that counter them like Primarina, Venusaur, and Sylveon. Diggersby also suffers a great weakness to glass cannons that can outspeed and KO it with relative ease, such as Galarian Darmanitan, Dracovish, Dragapult, and Haxorus, so bulky teammates like Primarina, Avalugg, and Galarian Weezing are good partners. In return, Diggersby can again take on the aforementioned bulky offensive threats in Primarina, Venusaur, and Sylveon. Diggersby is also weak to Sturdy users like Sawk and Crustle, so Mold Breaker users like Excadrill, Hawlucha, and Haxorus make good partners. In return, Diggersby can take down bulky Fairy-types like Primarina for them.

Diggersby can also use a Choice Band set to beat bulkier threats like Sylveon or Primarina without the need of a coverage move. Giga Impact and Earthquake are Diggersby's go-to STAB moves, which, combined with Huge Power, monster through bulky threats like Sylveon and Primarina, and Arcanine and Incineroar. Fire Punch covers miscellaneous Steel-types that Earthquake can't beat like Specially Defensive Corviknight and Ferrothorn. Bulldoze is used for the sole purpose of speed control against Curse Mimikyu. (update for post mimi)

Diggersby struggles with stall like Galarian Corsola and Defensive Corviknight, so it works well with stallbreakers like Taunt Incineroar, Zeraora, and Cinderace. In return, Diggersby can take on Ground-types that these partners are weak to like Excadrill and most Rhyperiors (both LO and band drill ohko diggs. Def and Att invested cb rhyp tanks eq and ohkos back) (Diggersby's niche is also not really well-encompassed by "ground types" seeing as it doesn't counter excadrill, rhyperior, or steelix. I'd say digg's's niche was more "taking on bulky offensive mons" such as primarina, band vish, venusaur, or sylveon).
Diggersby also suffers a great weakness to glass cannons that can outspeed and KO Diggersby with relative ease, such as Galarian Darmanitan, Dracovish, Dragapult, and Haxorus, so bulky teammates like Primarina, Avalugg, and Galarian Weezing are good partners. In return Diggersby can take down Jirachi (only 64% chance to beat flinch rachi. maybe say "stall rachi" instead) and mixed Zeraora. Diggersby is also weak to Sturdy users like Sawk and Crustle, so Mold Breaker users like Excadrill and Haxorus make good partners. In return, Diggersby can take down bulky fairies like Primarina for them. (assuming you want a mold-breaker user that can beat both of these, you should mention Hawlucha)

Really small nitpicky stuff. Biggest thing is probably that Jirachi is banned.

Diggersby can use a Choice Band set to beat bulkier threats like Sylveon or Primarina Snorlax Primarina is KOed by Wild Charge, which has a higher accuracy without the need of a coverage move. Giga Impact and Earthquake are Diggersby's go-to STAB moves, which combined with Huge Power, monsters through bulky threats, like Sylveon, Primarina, Snorlax Arcanine, and Incineroar. Wild Charge is used to strengthen matchups against Flying-types like Corviknight and Gyarados Mention how Wild Charge should be used against Primarina for the higher accuracy and to avoid Chilan Berry. Fire Punch covers Steel-types that Earthquake can't beat like Ferrothorn and Hustle Durant in the case that a move misses. The HP and Special Defense EVs provided are allocated to survive two Air Slashes from Choice Scarf Togekiss, and one Overheat from Choice Scarf Chandelure.

In return, Diggersby can take down mixed Zeraora no idea what mixed Zeraora is, but these teammates struggle with the same bulky offensive threats mentioned prior so I'd just leave this out. Diggersby is also weak to Sturdy users like Sawk and Crustle, so Mold Breaker users like Excadrill, Hawlucha, and Haxorus make good partners. In return, Diggersby can take down bulky Fairy-types like Primarina for them.
