Feast your eyes on the dazzling beauty of the roseate princess! Generally known to wallbreak with its coverage moves, Mega Diancie can lean towards its strength as a Stealth Rock-setting lead for hyper offense teams. On top of its valuable Speed tier, Mega Diancie's effectiveness lies in Magic Bounce, which crucially thwarts any attempts to set entry hazards from opposing setters like Gliscor, Ferrothorn, Heatran, and Toxapex. It's not entirely passive either, as a maximum-power Endeavor after four Substitutes can significantly dent even bulky walls like Heatran, Clefable, and Garganacl. All hyper offense staples appreciate Mega Diancie setting the stage early-game, but this gem shines even brighter when it's paired with Stealth Rock-weak setup sweepers like Gouging Fire, Dragonite, Volcarona, and Kyurem, letting them forgo Heavy-Duty Boots for more firepower. Moreover, Volcarona and Gouging Fire can use Mega Scizor revenge killing Mega Diancie to gain free entry into battle and set up, with Dragonite doing so similarly in the face of Choice Scarf Landorus-T and Urshifu-R. Additionally, Kyurem helps pressure Defoggers like Gliscor, Tornadus-T, and Zapdos to maintain Mega Diancie's Stealth Rock.
