[SET COMMENTS]
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.
