You might have been against something with No Guard.
I think this might be a glitch because no description of Diamond Storm mentions this effect:
When used against multiple opponents it has a chance to raise defense with every enemy hit, meaning it can potentially raise its defense three stages in one turn in a triple battle.
Did some testing, you can see its defense raising twice many times here:
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogontriples-184513176
I've had its defense raise three times in one turn in a triple battle before but don't have the replay for that.
And it also happens in doubles:
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogondoubles-184520378 (Turn 5 only)
It seems that nobody's mentioned this before which is odd, but if it isn't a glitch then the fact that it's not detailed in any reliable sources is also weird.

That's not a bug, all secondary effects roll their % chance of doing something once for each target hit. It's like Discharge or Muddy Water rolling paralysis or an accuracy drop multiple times; Diamond Storm just happens to be the first move with secondary self-boosting to have multiple targets.
Don't think I've seen this bug on here yet, but I was playing a Challenge Cup triples match and after both teams were down to 1 Pokemon, the automatic center kicked in as expected, but one of the Pokemon was afflicted with leech seed, and for some reason that did not transfer (neither the graphic nor the health reduction) and my opponent was unable to use leech seed on it again.

Don't know if someone has posted this before, but I believe I have found a moveset that has been glitched. I have a Sylveon set in OU with Wish, Heal Bell, Hyper Voice, and Baton Pass. However, when I try to enter a battle with it, I get the following message:
- Sylveon has the combination of sylveon + hypervoice + healbell + wish + batonpass, which is banned by OU.
I've researched this set, and it seems to be perfectly legal, so I'm not sure if there's something wrong with the set, or what the program thinks is banned, or what. Before you ask, yes, this is the only Pokemon on my team with Baton Pass, so it's not an issue with that.

Hi all! I would like to report a bug on Pokémon Showdown that must happen to many people, an error message that appears, the error message is the following: The login server is under a heavy load, please try logging in again later. To prevent people to whom it happens as me, don't worry, Smogon will repair this bug more quickly.
This Sylveon set is illegal because there is currently no way to get a Sylveon knowing all four moves at the same time.
Hyper Voice is a tutor move
Heal Bell is a tutor move
Wish is an egg move
Baton Pass is a level up move for Eevee only
So an Eevee has to be transferred from Gen 5 to know the tutor moves and Wish together. Baton Pass can be learned either before or after, but Eevee must know a Fairy move to evolve into Sylveon, forcing you to delete one of the four moves. Because it was transferred from Gen 5, it has no information stored about its egg moves so it can't relearn Wish.
The set will become legal once ORAS comes out since the tutor moves are returning.
The screenshot of Diancie using Power Gem showed a battle that took place in a cave. In caves, the move Nature Power turns into Power Gem, and Diancie learns Nature Power by TM. So the screenshot showing Diancie with Power Gem, while admittedly trolling, is entirely legitimate as she can use it through Nature Power.

Both ratings from 0 to 1000. Yeah, THAT works out.

I believe first battle in any metagame always takes you from 0 to 1000, even if you lose
It actually does not. You usually start on 1000 if your account is newly registered. The 0 > 1000 is probably due to the server and ladder being down all the time. As far as I am aware, the ranking did not update and you're still at the score you were before this all started. It was in all metas like this. And I am 99% sure it was the ladder messing up. Which would explain why the ladder was down the last couple of days. I think they are currently trying to fix this issue. I assume they'd let us know when this is fixed.
Its great to see PS! back up and running. However when I open the Replays page I am unable to watch any recent replay (only the featured replays are available). Instead of getting recent replays I get error messages such as this:
Warning: mysqli::mysqli(): (HY000/1045): Access denied for user 'replaysweb'@'192.99.46.35' (using password: YES) in/var/www/html/replay.pokemonshowdown.com/replays.lib.phpon line 9

Fatal error: Call to a member function fetch_assoc() on a non-object in/var/www/html/replay.pokemonshowdown.com/replays.lib.phpon line 35
Its quite likely the programmers already know about this problem, but as I can't see any post about it I want to raise the issue in case it was missed.
I don't have the log for it, but my Mega Gyarados Taunted an Oblivious Mamoswine and the following things happened:
-Message about Mamoswine falling for the taunt, immediately followed by...
-Message about Mamoswine's taunt wearing off (same turn)
Is this supposed to happen? I thought Mold Breaker bypassed Oblivious.
-Message about Mamoswine falling for the taunt, immediately followed by...
-Message about Mamoswine's taunt wearing off (same turn)

Mold Breaker allows you to taunt oblivious pokes, as per mold breakers description, but then Oblivous's second effect (gaining this ability cures it) undoes the taunt because it is only checking for the condition on mamowsine, similiar to how mold breaker will not cause gliscor to hurt itself with toxic heal.
Draining Kiss is marked as being illegal on Gallade, even though Kirlia learns it by level-up.
When Mega Salamence is confused by outrage he can hurt himself as is to be excepted, but after he has hurt himself he can then proceed to use outrage anyway. In this battle it happens a couple of times, and even lets Salamence attack once its HP hits 0.
I assume this follows the mechanics of NEXT, which is the metagame you were playing.
They are currently working on that. High Jump Kick also appears as Illegal on Lopunny even though it's confirmed to get it. I think it should be updated this week.
If things show up as illegal in the teambuilder, try using them in your sets anyway because the server is actually updated - it's the client that isn't yet.
As for the "invalid item" Mega Stones, most of the item names were guesses until the PokeBank datamine happened, so you have to use the real Mega Stone name since they were updated. There are only three that were wrong: Sableite -> Sablenite, Sharpedite -> Sharpedonite, and Altarite -> Altarianite
Well, I was just pointing it out because /learn acknowledges that Kirlia learns Draining Kiss, but says Gallade cannot.
Okay, so putting a character at the end of your name in a certain way causes that character to appear at the end of every message you say (in this case I used the player rank star):
I tried doing it with a *, and this happened:
Yes, that's right. Every message I said was automatically put backwards, before the colon.
The same thing happened when I used %.
More test results will come in soon o.o

That'll be disallowed in usernames soon if it hasn't been already.
