Forretress@Cutsap Berry
Ability: Strudy
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Sassy Nature
-Gyro Ball
-Explosion
-rapid Spin
-Stealth Rock

Diancie's HP fire put its in the perfect range for cutsap forretress to KO

0 Atk Forretress Gyro Ball (79 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mega Diancie: 288-340 (119.5 - 141%) -- guaranteed OHKO

 

[YellowAdminSilver]

Actually, Diancie can avoid the OHKO by staying in base form, and 2HKOs in return. Idk if that still counts, but I don't see why it shouldn't.

0 Atk Forretress Gyro Ball (52 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Diancie: 148-180 (61.4 - 74.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252 SpA Diancie Hidden Power Fire vs. 248 HP / 252+ SpD Forretress: 252-300 (78.2 - 93.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

 

[cbrevan]

Diancie could have just used Moonblast, Earth Power, or Diamond Storm on the switch then used HP Fire to KO turn 2 without having to worry about activating Custap.

 

[sparktrain]

Yeah, Forretress isn't a counter for the reasons stated above, it's literally required to switch into HP Fire or it loses.

Anyway...

Diancie @ Diancite

EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature

Simple enough, Metagross can tank an Earth Power, doesn't take as much from the other moves, and always OHKOes back with Bullet Punch.

252+ Atk Tough Claws Mega Metagross Bullet Punch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mega Diancie: 384-456 (159.3 - 189.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO
