Choice Specs Mega Diancie is a threatening wallbreaker thanks to a strong and fast Pixilate-boosted Boomburst, which can rip through anything that doesn't resist it or have Ice Scales or Assault Vest. Revelation Dance chunks Fire-types like Ho-Oh and Arceus-Fire for heavy damage, invalidating both as checks. Volt Switch helps keep momentum against bulky checks like Primal Kyogre and Arceus-Fairy, giving opportunities to teammates to help whittle them down. The last move is fairly customizable; Extreme Speed picks off faster threats like Pheromosa and weakened Mega Mewtwo X and Palkia-O, while the other moves target Poison- and Steel-types like Arceus-Poison and Mega Steelix. Mega Diancie's main drawback is that it often lacks the raw power to beat special walls like Ice Scales Arceus formes, so supporting allies like Eternatus help wear them down over time. Mega Steelix is a severe thorn in Mega Diancie's side, as it can reliably scout the move it locks into, denies Volt Switch, and can pivot in an offensive teammate; as such, Knock Off support is recommended, as Mega Steelix is 2HKOed by Boomburst without its Assault Vest. Imposter-proof Mega Diancie with Mega Steelix, Chansey, or Fur Coat Arceus-Poison, depending on its last move.
