With its stellar offensive stats, good Speed, and great coverage, Mega Diancie is a terrific wallbreaker that is able to threaten common defensive staples like Zapdos and Galarian Slowking and is just as potent of an entry hazard setter because of how it efficiently pressures common hazard removal options like Tornadus-T and Corviknight. Diamond Storm is used over Power Gem to dent common defensive checks harder like Galarian Slowking and Tera Grass Heatran. Moonblast is an amazing STAB move that crushes Stealth Rock setters like Garchomp and Mega Tyranitar while doing very considerable damage to Landorus-T. Mystical Fire hits Steel-types that Mega Diancie would be checked by, such as Ferrothorn, Mega Scizor, and Corviknight. If a hazard setter is already present, Earth Power can be used alongside Mystical Fire to pressure Pokemon like Heatran, Toxapex, and Iron Crown. Other niche options like Encore and Protect are also usable, with the former allowing Mega Diancie to lock Pokemon like Raging Bolt and Gliscor into setup moves and the latter letting it scout foes like Landorus-T and Mega Medicham. 28 Attack EVs let Mega Diancie 2HKO Galarian Slowking with Diamond Storm. A Naive nature lets Mega Diancie stave off physical attackers like Mega Lopunny and Mega Tyranitar more, while a Hasty nature improves its matchup against special attackers like Tornadus-T and Darkrai. While Mega Diancie is an amazing offensive Pokemon, it often lacks opportunities to wallbreak due to its frailty. Defensive pivots like Landorus-T, Zapdos, and Galarian Slowking can deal with revenge killers to Mega Diancie like Mega Lopunny, Rillaboom, and Iron Valiant, respectively. In return, Mega Diancie can stack entry hazards in tandem with the aforementioned pivots, forming a good balance core that wears down teams with ease. Offensive Pokemon like Ogerpon-W and Darkrai appreciate Mega Diancie dealing with foes like Raging Bolt and Mega Tyranitar; said offensive Pokemon can also mess with common checks to Mega Diancie like Toxapex and Iron Crown.

SET]
name: Wallbreaker
move 1: Moonblast
move 2: Diamond Storm
move 3: Mystical Fire
move 4: Earth Power / Stealth Rock / Spikes Here the order should probably be switch to have rocks first and then epower second. I feel the main draw to mdia is its ability to set rocks/hazards effectively; like you mentioned it’s super good against the hazard removers and rocks just feel more important than earth power in most scenarios as rocks are probably the greater tool for Mdia. Not saying epower is bad by any means but it probably doesn’t do AS much as rocks

With its stellar offensive stats, good Speed, and great coverage, Mega Diancie is a terrific wallbreaker that is able to threaten common defensive staples like Zapdos and Galarian Slowking and is Sure you mentioned things it threatened after this, but you didn’t mention how it used its offensive capabilities to break through things as well just as potent of an entry hazard setter because of how it efficiently pressures common hazard removal options like Tornadus-T and Corviknight. Diamond Storm is used over Power Gem to dent common defensive checks harder like Galarian Slowking and Tera Grass Heatran. Moonblast is an amazing STAB that crushes Stealth Rock setters like Garchomp and Mega Tyranitar, while doing very considerable damage to Landorus-T Maybe you could mention that because of it threatening these hazard setters it’s able to block hazards better?. Mystical Fire is needed to hit Steel-types that Mega Diancie would be checked by, such as Ferrothorn, Mega Scizor, and Corviknight. However, if you already have a hazard setter of your own is already present this is basically reworded so the sentence doesn’t include “you”; after all, this is supposed to be an analysis on mdia, not the players, Earth Power can be used alongside Mystical Fire to pressure Pokemon like Heatran, Toxapex, and Iron Crown more. Other niche options like Encore and Protect are also usable for the scenarios that they can do well in; such as locking in a Pokemon like Raging Bolt or Gliscor into a set up move with Encore, and scouting opponents like Landorus-Therian and Ferrothorn Mega Medicham with Protect Imo the main thing abt protect is that it scouts bpunch mmedi. 28 Attack EVs let Mega Diancie 2HKO Galarian Slowking with Diamond Storm. A Naive nature can be used to stave off physical offensive threats like Mega Lopunny and Cinderace Mega Tyranitar Ace can just click into mdia and u turn out, plus the interaction with mdia barely living mtar sedge from full with this nature thus being able to 2hko it is much more valuable more, but a Hasty nature works as well to do slightly better into special offensive threats like Tornadus-T and Darkrai. While Mega Diancie is an amazing offensive Pokemon, it has issues with having opportunities to break due to its frailty. Defensive pivots like Landorus-T, Zapdos, and Galarian Slowking can deal with revenge killers to Mega Diancie like Mega Lopunny, Rillaboom, and Choice Scarf Tapu lele Iron Valiant Glowking doesn’t exactly check lele well, as psyshock 2hkos and Tera psychic just blows through it anyway; it can’t safely check it unless Glowking has a dark with as a teammate (which isn’t always), respectively. In return, Mega Diancie stacking entry hazards in tandem with pivots like the aforementioned Landorus-T and Zapdos can form a good balance core that can wear down teams with ease via chip damage. Offensive Pokemon that appreciate Mega Diancie's sheer power that deals with Pokemon like Raging Bolt and Mega Tyranitar such as Ogerpon-W and Darkrai are great partners that also form a strong offensive core as well. Maybe mention how these mons help overcome mdia’s checks, like Pex and iron crown
1/2. Feel free to discuss these on discord
