As you may have seen, this set is a Rock Polish sweeper set. The 32 Speed EVs is to allow Mega Diancie to out speed base 110 Speed Choice Scarf users, with a max Attack investment and a large Special Attack investment. Diamond Storm is Diancie’s physical Rock type STAB move, which has the same power as Stone Edge but more accuracy, and can raise Defense which will help make up for the lowered Defense stat from Diancie’s Lonely Nature. Moonblast is Diancie’s special Fairy type STAB move, and can lower the opponent’s Special Attack. Hidden Power Fire is to hit Scizor and Ferrothorn, but now Earth Power is another viable move thanks to ORAS Move Tutors, and actually lets Diancie finally hit Heatran hard. Last is Rock Polish, which as said allows Mega Diancie to out speed 110 base Speed Choice Scarf users, and thus Mega Diancie can sweep from there.
Mega Diancie is in my opinion, the exact opposite of regular old Diancie. Mega Diancie had it’s defenses lowered and it’s offensive stats skyrocketed as a result. With such a massive boost to it’s Attack, Special Attack and Speed, Mega Diancie is (also) in my opinion the best mixed attacker in the game. To make Diancie even more dangerous it also gains the ability Magic Bounce, which essentially makes it immune to Thunder Wave, Will-o-Wisp, and other pesky status moves. Mega Diancie still has some things to watch out for, mainly Steel types like Scizor, Heatran and Ferrothorn, and Mega Diancie does suffer from “first turn lag.” However, Mega Diancie can work around this easily and become one of the most dangerous Pokemon in the higher tiers.

Not the common speedy nature diance, but i think it works
