Shine bright like a diamond with Diancie using this powerful Trick Room sweeper set! Power Herb + Meteor Beam lets Diancie unleash a bejeweled blitz under Trick Room, and Earth Power nicely complements Diancie's STAB moves, hitting Steel-types that resist them like Registeel and Klefki. Diancie's defensive typing and amazing bulk let it reliably set up Trick Room, especially against the likes of common pivots like Incineroar and Talonflame. Tera Grass also lets Diancie turn the tables on Grass-, Ground-, and Water-types, setting up Trick Room and beating down would-be checks like Tsareena, Flygon, and Inteleon. This Diancie set functions best on hyper offensive teams, teaming up with other setup sweepers like Drednaw, Infernape, and Iron Thorns to overwhelm shared checks of defensive walls like Swampert, Vileplume, and Bronzong, the latter of which resists all of Diancie's attacks. All these offensive sweepers take great advantage of entry hazards set by dedicated leads like Bombirdier and Froslass. The Jewel Pokemon can be a bit of a one-trick pony with Meteor Beam; if the move misses, Diancie gets phazed, or the foe uses Protect on the incoming hit, Diancie's Trick Room can be stalled out before it wreaks havoc.

Tera Grass also lets Diancie turn the tables on Grass-, Ground-, and Water-types, setting up Trick Room and beating down would-be checks like Tsareena, Flygon, and Swampert Inteleon. with intel’s frailty and power, i feel this a stronger example. however, either works This Diancie set functions best on hyper offensive teams, teaming up with other setup sweepers like Cloyster, Lucario, and Iron Thorns to overwhelm defensive walls it would be nice to mention at least 2 walls here along the lines of zong, plume, n a fat water like pert while taking great advantage of hazards set by dedicated leads like Deoxys-Defense or Froslass. The Jewel Pokemon is not without its flaws, though, as it can be a bit of a one-trick pony with Meteor Beam; if the move misses, Diancie gets phazed out, or the opponent uses Protect on the incoming hit, Diancie's Trick Room can be stalled out before it wreak havoc. if you want, you can mention zong, as it walls you well enough to stall out tr (but no reliable recovery and you being at +1 still hurts) [mblast does 20 min at +1 to spdef zong, meaning nearly half of zong’s health is gone to mbeam + mblast] also, unless they explicitly carry steel stab, which is quite rare nowadays, you can win the chip war fairly easily. (after writing that, it sounds like more of a pitch for why it should be a wall that’s overwhelmed mentioned above. so, it’s your call.

QC 1/1 when implemented
