I think this is how mega diancie should be ran. All this while people have been running max sp attack and speed, and kinda neglected its attack. Yet, diamond storm is really the preferred move as it can potentially 2HKO some mons that special mega diancie cannot accomplish no matter what. I had...

Face palms* Slipped my mind completely. Well, thanks man. Cheers

Hi admins, I experienced a bug during one of my earlier battles and this is the replay: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-396330516 I would like to direct your attention to turns 26 and 27 where Milotic was up against Excadrill. I have confirmed with my opponent that he was using an...

Mega Gardevoir really shines in destroying Giratina-Origin at the moment (insane fairy power + higher speed than Giratina-Origin). Any sets trying to be funny with substitute gets destroyed promptly by hyper voice. Actually, Mega Gardy ohko most variants; the most specially defensive types will...

I'm a big fan of this set as well; if you have excellent prediction, this Jirachi is able to punch so many holes in the opponent's team like no other. Perfect if paired with things like Gyarados or Mega Gardevoir as it helps get rid of pesky walls like Ferrothorn, Gliscor and Landorus-T, paving...

Protect + 3 attacks is definitely the best set for Diancie. It does not have the bulk to stat boost without getting revenge killed later so just shed the idea of any form of stat boost, unless you're so certain that you'll be able to get rid of those things with priority (scizor, azumarill etc)...

Note: By Diancie, I am simply referring to its Mega forme. Diancie is a high-risk, high reward kind of pokemon. It dies very easily but if you play it right, it can really mess with the opponent quite badly, partly because of magic bounce as well. Diancie should just run max speed and sp...

I personally use a team comprising Latios, Milotic and Talonflame. It works pretty well and won 50 streaks for me in XY until some silly crit happens. Latios @ Life Orb Nature: Timid EVs: 252 Sp Atk/ 252 Speed/ 4 Def - Surf - Psyshock - Draco Meteor - Thunderbolt Milotic @ Leftovers Nature...

Yea, a combination of life orb latios' psyshock + draco meteor will pretty much kill off vaporeon. So, gotta be careful there.

I personally prefer 'protect' over 'rock polish' because diancie generally doesn't have the bulk to stay in and legitimately sweep. Further, 'protect' plays mind games on the opponent and can be helpful in locking certain choiced pokemon into u-turn so you can launch another hit on the next...

A well-played mega diancie can wreak havoc for this team as its standard moveset provides hard-hitting coverage against most things here: Moonblast hits bisharp, mega slowbro and landorus-t hard; Earth power will decimate heatran (I guess the balloon will help but it's such a one-off thing)...

Haha I get your complaint! It's true that lando-t is everywhere though, but I think that's because it is a really good pokemon this generation. It helps maintain an offensive momentum (via u-turn) and is sturdy enough to take 'most' physical hits (coupled with intimidate to further boost its...

I don't disagree with this line of argument. The point is, all these waters are fallible to greninja in various ways - empoleon dying to low kick, tentacruel dying to extrasensory or simply being worn down due to lack of reliable recovery, rotom-w taking massive damage either from dark pulse or...

Yea I know those two are in competition for a teamslot and perhaps in terms of typing, coverage or support, sylveon emerges victorious in getting chosen for a slot. However, this does not mean that vaporeon does not have its perks. It was after all, a premier bulky water for the past generations...

I must respectfully disagree with you that vaporeon or its likes are not ou viable. I've been personally using a milotic in my ou team and I don't see how my team got torn to shreds in the ou metagame at all. Something not being ou in terms of usage statistics does not equate to it being ou...

Isn't Greninja walled by nearly all bulky waters bar those variants with grass knot? Greninja may have good coverage but it simply can't have it all. There's no way it can run an omnibus moveset that clears everything. Most waters work well against it, especially those with high sp defence...

This thing simply needs more love. If provided with the right support (and it's not even that hard to provide), mega diancie can really wreck teams. Even in uber, mega diancie sweeps like a boss. Earth power deals a ton to primal groundon, dialga; moonblast kills off yvetal and darkrai (you can...

A bulky water is always a good greninja check, especially those with naturally high special defense. Well, I think vaporeon is an excellent greninja check - immune to hydro pump, takes minimal damage from HP fire/grass knot/gunk shot (never a 2hko)/dark pulse etc. Scald from vaporeon can easily...

Since you have no ways of boosting your speed, 252 Speed is the preferred (or at least that's how I see it). This ensures that you can at least tie with opposing Latios/Latias and KO them with moonblast.

Protect almost feels obligatory just so diancie can mega evolve properly without dying so easily. This thing needs support but if you can pull it off, mega diancie is actually quite a fearsome pokemon. Magic bounce is excellent as well because some silly pokemon will try to inflict statuses...
