Pokémon Diancie

I could say that Diancie-M has 130 stats all around except HP and Wonder Guard plus all the tutor moves from ORAS and it would still be a legit assumption until GameFreak reveals more.
Please guys let's talk about normal Diancie for now.

I don't see Venusaur being OU material even with a mega, unless it's typing changes or it receives some spectacular move, I think that Talonflame's brave bird and every other flying type in OU will keep it down.

viability does not work like that

You missed the bit that made M-Venusaur OU-viable: Thick Fat. Without that, it would have been UU at best.
Also, post parroting is rude.

Maybe it will get those attack boosts and Pixilate as an ability so that it wouldn't have to run mixed all the time?

That would be interesting. I don't think running mixed really slows Diancie down though since it doesn't need speed. Pixilate would give it a nice power boost especially if its Mega gets some offensive increase but it wouldn't really solve its movepool problem. It would still only have two usable offensive moves. Then again R/S remakes might give it something cool via move tutors. Perhaps it might see some OU use with some crazily placed stat boosts, a good ability, and maybe Pain Split or something (elemental punches?).

Edit: (130 base attack stat) 252+ Atk Pixilate Diancie Return vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Hippowdon: 153-181 (36.4 - 43%)
252+ Atk Pixilate Diancie Return vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Rotom-W: 163-193 (53.6 - 63.4%)
252+ Atk Pixilate Diancie Return vs. 252 HP / 184+ Def Gliscor: 154-183 (43.5 - 51.6%)

Pretty solid. The targets I picked were pretty random but should Diancie actually get Pixilate it could pack a decent punch.
 
I am guessing Mega-Diancie's ability is the same one they gave Mega-Sableye considering the lack of information regarding the ability and the flavor match I'd say Diancie likely uses the same one. That said the ability sounds an awful like a stance change...

Feel free to visit the smogon thread on the new game press coverage or serebii. That said I really do think she will share the same ability since it would also work well with her stat distribution, which is also what many speculate about MSable to make up for the lack of prankster and the mediocre base stats it would have even with +100 boost.

Apparently, the red orb/ blue orb will perform said devolution, blue gives 50% increase to spec. Atk/spec. Def, and likewise the red orb gives inc. of 50% to Atk/Def. My source is someone who works at Nintendo in the programming for pokemon, but I can't give names obviously for his sake

Yea pretty much a soul dew for their respective stats! Also apparently there are special hold items for the Regis? Food for thought hey!

Spend enough time on the internet and it becomes second nature to doubt literally everything anyone says. I'm not one to call someone I never met a liar so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

Fingers crossed for a defense boosting item for the various regis. Somehow 80/200/100 is not nearly enough.
 
Wait:
This Pokémon was available in Japan
from July 6, 2014; July 19 to September 30, 2014.

Is this saying it is released today for pre-release, then re-released again at July 19? If so, then yeah, it is legal now!
