DKATS
Diancie, Keldeo, Amoonguss, Talonflame, Steel
I know this similar to one of the previously mentioned teams, but this core is just a more flexible framework for building your own Diancie team.
Starting with Talonflame
Most people will agree, just see other Diance teams in this thread, that Talon is the best fire partner for Diance. Talonflame removes grass and steel types, two of the biggest threats to Diancie. Also it can run Taunt to stop trick room.
Amoonguss adds the ability to status, which no one else on this core does unless you run Will-o-Wisp Talon which I dont recommend here because you have Keldeo. Amoongus can check Lando-T with spore, a big threat to both Diance and Talonflame. Redirection is also extremely helpful to all your teammates. Additionally it does well against rain teams and trick room teams.
Keldeo adds another Lando-T and Kang check. It also does well versus steel types.
Steel adds an important Fairy counter and a more important Rain check. Bisharp and Aegislash are the best options in my opinion. Bisharp scares Lando-T from switching in, adds an excellent priority moves and hits trick room setters hard with knock-off. Aegislash also checks Lando-T with wide guard and hits trick room setters hard with Shadow Ball. Jirachi is the 3rd option; a second form of redirection can benefit Diancie now especially since offensive Thundys may wear goggles to get around Amoongus and hit Diancie with the Flash Cannon. Genesect can also check Lando-T with scarf Ice Beam.
6th mon
In my opinion for a 6th option you should run a ground immune; if not then change Keldeo to Rotom-Wash. The 6th mon should also do heavy damage to Ammongus. Also I prefer a scarf user to match Lando-T and beat Steel Wing Talon.
