Mega Diancie functions as an amazing hyper offense lead, being able to set up Stealth Rock behind Substitute while also denying opposing entry hazards via Magic Bounce. Mega Diancie's main niche over other hazard setters is its ability to deny hazards from pokemon such as Glimmora and Landorus-T, as well as blocking taunt and encore from Pokemon like Tornadus-T and Iron Valiant, making it harder for them to deny hazards. Endeavor lets Mega Diance heavily chip Moonblast switch-ins like Moltres, Corviknight, and Heatran when at low HP. Staying in base forme is often an option in order to set Stealth Rock on faster Pokemon due to Diance's superior bulk. 244 HP EVs allow Diancie to set Substitute four times as opposed to three, leaving Mega Diancie at 1 HP to use Endeavor with.

Being a hyper offense lead, Mega Diancie's main function is to set entry hazards to enable one of the archetype's many sweepers to punch through defensive cores and win the game, often being able to give them free switch ins by wearing itself down via Substitute. Examples of Pokemon that benefit from these hazards include Kingambit, Volcarona, and Great Tusk, since they all appreciate Stealth Rock chipping down Pokemon such as Corviknight, Heatran, and Landorus-T for them to break through more easily. However, lead Mega Diancie can sometimes be threatened by Super-Effective attacks from faster foes, such as Choice Scarf Urshifu-R, as well as by strong priority moves from Pokemon such as Choice Band Rillaboom and Mega Scizor. These can be taken care of by partners such as Dragonite, which can safely switch in on Urshifu-R, Landorus-T, and Rillaboom, and Volcarona, which switches in on and threatens Rillaboom and Mega Scizor with its strong STAB moves.

Mega-Diancie funtions as an amazing HO lead, being able to set up Stealth Rocks behing Substitute, while also denying opposing hazards via Magic Bounce. Diancie's ability to set up stealth rocks allows its teammates to break and clean more easily, due to the large amounts of chip it racks up against certain more offensive structures, as well as some defensive pieces not running boots, such as Heatran and Ferrothorn, which can enable mons such as Volcarona and Dragonite this is super filler and i think its clear what theyre for - better off explaining what makes diancie in particular super good, i.e elaborating more on the previous sentence (magic bounce blocks taunt). Endeavour lets it heavily chip would be answers in Moltres, Corviknight and Heatran after enough substitutes, while Substitute, if set up, allows Diancie to set rocks on the majority of the tier, while also boosting the power of Endeavour at low HP also rephrase the ending bit because HOW does it let diancie setup rocks with sub?. 244 HP allows Diancie to set Substitute 4 times as opposed to 3, leaving Mega Diancie with 1 HP to use Endeavor with. and max speed enables it to be able to set rocks more easily, outspeeding Garchomp, Mega-Charizard Y and speed-tying Ogerpon-Wellspring pretty much dex info.

Being a HO hyper offense lead, Diancie's main function is to set hazards to enable one of the archetypes many filler sweepers to punch through defensive cores and win the game should mention how diancie is good at bringing sweepers in by wearing itself down via sub to give momentum. Examples of mons that benefit from these hazards include SD Kingambit, who appreciates Rocks chipping would be checks such as Landorus-T, potentially enabling Gambit to KO after multiple rocks cycles, as well as chipping mons such as Ferrothorn and Heatran. Other mons that appreciate Diancie's rocks include Volcarona and BU Great Tusk, who both enjoy rocks chip giving them an easier time to break and clean up games. Kingambit, Volcarona and Great Tusk, since they all appreciate Stealth Rock chipping down Pokemon such as Corviknight, Heatran and Landorus-T for them to break through more easily. the original is just too clunky and hard to read NGL However, Diancie leads can sometimes be threatened by fast Super-Effective attacks, such as from Scarf Urshifu and Landorus-T, as well as by strong priority moves from mons such as Rillaboom and Mega-Scizor. These can be taken care of by partners such as Dragonite, who can safely switch in on Urshifu's Surging Strikes, Landorus' Earthquakes and Rillaboom's Grassy Glide Urshifu, Landorus-T and Rillaboom u dont need to specify that much. Rillaboom and Mega Scizor can also both be switched in on by Volcarona, who resists Scizor's Close Comats and Bullet Punches, and Rillaboom's Grassy Glides and Wood Hammers same reason as before.

Mega-Diancie funtions as an amazing HO lead, being able to set up Stealth Rocks behing Substitute, while also denying opposing hazards via Magic Bounce. Diancie's main niche over other hazard setters is its ability to deny opposing hazards example foes here, use stuff like glimm and other ho leads, taunt and encore examples also, making it harder to deny hazards against and set up on this is impt cos other leads can sometimes become setup fodder unless they can self ko which mdia also cant. Endeavour lets it heavily chip would be answers <= word choice, technically everything kinda answers this set cos all it wants to do is set up rocks, try to imply stuff that take moonblast ("wall"? uty) in Moltres, Corviknight and Heatran at low HP, while sub allows it to set rocks more easily, as slower threats such as Landorus-T cannot threaten to OHKO it in that scenario wouldnt you just.. click rocks and die for your next guy? to me sub is only there for endeavor, if theres something else about it that im missing please do mention tho. 244 HP allows Diancie to set Substitute 4 times as opposed to 3, leaving Mega Diancie at 1 HP to use Endeavour with.
somewhere in this paragraph needs a mention of how staying non-mega gives it really good bulk, to set up rocks on fast stuff despite not having focus sash, and staying non mega on slower foes that you tank a hit from also gives you one more turn to click endeavor or moonblast with rather than just rocks and die

However, Diancie leads can sometimes be threatened by fast Super-Effective attacks, such as from Scarf Urshifu and Landorus non mega lives, 248 Atk Landorus-Therian Earthquake vs. 244 HP / 12 Def Diancie: 248-294 (82.1 - 97.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO, as well as by strong priority moves from mons such as Choice Band Rillaboom and Mega-Scizor. These can be taken care of by partners such as Dragonite, who can safely switch in and set up on Urshifu, Landorus-T and Rillaboom. Rillaboom and Mega Scizor can also both be switched in on by Volcarona, both being threatened out in return by it's strong fire STAB. can condense last two sentences into one

Mega Diancie funtions as an amazing HO hyper offense lead, being able to set up Stealth Rocks behing Rock behind Substitute, (RC) while also denying opposing entry hazards via Magic Bounce. Mega Diancie's main niche over other hazard setters is its ability to deny opposing hazards from Pokemon such as Glimmora and Landorus-T as well as taunt block Taunt and Encore from mons such as Pokemon like (to avoid repetition and "Pokemon" not "mons") Tornadus-T and Iron Valiant, making it harder for them to deny hazards against from being set. Endeavour Endeavor lets it heavily chip would be would-be Moonblast switch ins switch-ins like Moltres, Corviknight, (AC) and Heatran at low HP. Staying in base form forme is often an option in order to set rocks Stealth Rock on faster Pokemon due to its large superior bulk and lack of Focus Sash in Mega form, (RC) forme. 244 HP allows EVs allow Diancie to set Substitute 4 times as opposed to 3, leaving Mega Diancie at 1 HP to use Endeavour Endeavor with.
