########
- New Mega Evolution raises Diancie's viability from gimmick to very solid choice
- Magic Bounce is fantastic
- 110 Speed ties with Latios, outspeeds Primal Groudon, Primal Kyogre, Palkia, Zekrom, unevolved Mega Salamence, and more
- fair defensive typing lets it take on Yveltal, Ho-Oh, Rayquaza, Darkrai and others
- access to various support options such as Heal Bell and Stealth Rock
- on its Mega Evolution turn, its defenses go down and its Speed stays low
- Has issues with certain Steel-types despite Earth Power
- its solid bulk is let down somewhat by its low HP
- it loses to a lot of Stealth Rock setters, meaning it cannot always reliably prevent hazards
- Bullet Punch makes short work of it
