nature: Hasty
evs: 152 HP / 104 SpA / 252 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]

Set Description
=============
Mega Diancie uses Protect to increase its Speed on the turn it Mega Evolves, which allows it to outspeed and OHKO Terrakion and Garchomp. Since Diancie uses both physical and special moves, such as Diamond Storm and Moonblast, a Hasty nature is preferred. Magnet Rise helps with slower Ground-types that Diancie cannot OHKO like both Landorus formes and Donphan. Rock Tomb allows Mega Diancie to beat Gengar while also avoiding the KO from Mega Charizard X's Counter. Skill Swap beats Choice Specs Volcanion, Mega Gardevoir, and Mega Altaria by acquiring Water Absorb from Volcanion and swapping away Pixilate from Mega Gardevoir and Mega Altaria.

EVs
=============
Maximum Speed EVs with a Hasty nature allow Mega Diancie to outspeed Pokemon like Terrakion and Garchomp. 152 HP EVs let Diancie live Solar Beam from Charizard Mega Y and OHKO in return with Diamond Storm without the need to Mega Evolve. The remaining EVs are put into Special Attack.

Usage Tips
=============
Diancie should never Mega Evolve against a Charizard, as it can get lured by Substitute Charizard Mega Y. In most other scenarios, Diancie should Mega Evolve and use Protect on the first turn against faster threats, like Garchomp and Terrakion. If using Rock Tomb, against Gengar Diancie should Mega Evolve and use Rock Tomb on the first turn, as this either breaks Gengar's Substitute or allows Mega Diancie to outspeed Mega Gengar on the next turn.

[SET COMMENTS]

Set Description
=============
Mega Diancie uses protect due to the fact that Mega speed is not applied on the turn it mega evolves on, therefore Pokémon like Garchomp and Terrakion could outspeed and kill it on turn one. Using protect solves this because Mega Diancie will have the speed it needs to outspeed those mons on the turn after the Mega Diancie protects. Mega Diancie uses Moonblast and Diamond Storm as its strongest STABs. While Moonblast is a special attacking move, Diamond Storm is not. Therefore it uses a Hasty nature to make sure both its STABs can use their maximum potential. Furthermore, Magnet Rise is to help with slower ground types that Diancie cannot OHKO like both the Landorus formes (mention donphan here). Rock tomb helps the Charizard matchup even more, since Diamond Storm is able to lose against Counter Charizard Mega-X. Other than that it also beats Mega Gengar as Rock Tomb into Diamond Storm KOs, whereas Diamond Storm only will not. At last, Skill swap is to beat Choice Specs Volcanion (Mention garde and DD mega altaria here first, both arguably more important than volcanion, especially garde). Due to the ability Water Absorb when Diancie Skill Swaps and Volcanion clicks a water move it will be left unharmed.

EVs
=============
Max speed EVs with a hasty nature allows Mega Diancie to outspeed Pokémon like Terrakion and Mega Pinsir (pinsir in 2022 kekw, just to chomp instead of pinsir since u keep mentioning it). Furthermore, 152 HP on Diancie makes sure you live maximum special attack Charizard Mega-Y solar beam and kill in return with a Diamond Storm from non-mega Diancie. At last the leftover EVs are put into special attack to make sure prominent threats like Garchomp and Terrakion get OHKOd.

Usage Tips
=============
Diancie should never Mega evolve against a Charizard, because if it does and it gets lured by substitute Solar Beam. It will kill from Charizard Mega-Y. In every other scenario where Diancie needs to be mega other than gengar, Mega Protect should always be clicked (every is a bit much but its fine). If rock tomb is ran versus gengar the safest option is to Mega Rock Tomb First turn, this makes sure Gengar cannot set a Substitute up while its Strongest STAB move sludge wave cannot OHKO (add that diancie can't be will o wisp'd because of magic bounce).

Due to the ability Water Absorb when Diancie Skill Swaps and Volcanion clicks a water move it will be left unharmed, furthermore the respective abilities of Mega Gardevoir and Mega Altaria Pixilate will revert the Fairy type attacks back to Normal which is a typing resisted by Diancie. Reorder slashes / text so they're in same order.

EVs
=============
Max speed EVs with a hasty nature allows Mega Diancie to outspeed Pokémon like Terrakion and Garchomp. Furthermore, 152 HP on Diancie makes sure you live maximum special attack Charizard Mega-Y solar beam and kill in return with a Diamond Storm from non-mega Diancie. At last the leftover EVs are put into special attack to make sure prominent threats like Garchomp and Terrakion get OHKOd. You KO Chomp and Terrakion even w/ 0 Spa, I don't think there's any relevant examples here but Diamond Storm doesn't really hit anything bar Charizard so investment isn't needed.

Usage Tips
=============
Diancie should never Mega evolve against a Charizard, because if it does it can get lured by substitute Solar Beam from Charizard Mega-Y. In most other scenarios, Mega Protect should always be clicked against faster offensive threats (that can KO it Terrak/Chomp). If rock tomb is ran versus gengar the safest option is to Mega evolve and Rock Tomb First turn, this makes sure Gengar cannot set a Substitute up while its Strongest STAB move sludge wave cannot OHKO. The ability of Mega Diancie, Magic Bounce also makes sure it cannot get burnt by the Gengar its Will-O-Wisp

Using protect solves this because Mega Diancie will have the speed it needs to outspeed those mons on the turn after the Mega Diancie protects. As the Speed stat from Mega Evolution is not active on the turn Diancie Mega Evolves, Protect is used to prevent Pokemon like Garchomp and Terrakion from outspeeding and KOing Mega Diancie on turn one.(subjective change, sounds less clunky imo) Mega Diancie uses Moonblast and Diamond Storm as its are Mega Diancie's strongest STABs moves;(add semicolon, remove period) While Moonblast is a special attacking move, Diamond Storm is not. therefore,(AC) it uses a Hasty nature to make sure both its STABs can use their maximum potential moves hit as hard as possible. Furthermore, Magnet Rise is to helps with slower Ground-types(add hyphen) that Mega Diancie cannot OHKO,(AC) like both the Landorus formes and Donphan. Rock Tomb helps the Charizard matchup even more, since Diamond Storm is able to lose against will lose against Counter Mega Charizard Mega X(remove hyphen). Other than that It also beats Mega Gengar as Rock Tomb into Diamond Storm KOs, whereas Diamond Storm only will not. It also lowers Mega Gengar's Speed and puts it in range of Diamond Storm.(subjective change but I think this sounds better) At last, Skill Swap is to lets Mega Diancie beat Choice Specs Volcanion, Mega Gardevoir,(AC) and Mega Altaria. Due to Mega Diancie can swap the ability Water Absorb and be unharmed when Diancie Skill Swaps and Volcanion clicks a water move,(AC) it will be left unharmed, furthermore the respective abilities of Mega Gardevoir and Mega Altaria Pixilate will revert the Fairy type attacks back to Normal which is a typing resisted by Diancie. while Mega Gardevoir and Mega Altaria will deal resisted Normal-type damage to Mega Diancie when they lose Pixilate.

EVs
=============
Maximum Speed EVs with a Hasty nature allows Mega Diancie to outspeed Pokemon like Terrakion and Garchomp. Furthermore, 152 HP EVs on Diancie makes sure you live maximum special attack regular Diancie is not OHKOed by Solar Beam from Mega Charizard Mega Y(remove hyphen) with maximum Special Attack investment solar beam and kill can KO it in return with a Diamond Storm from non-mega Diancie. At last the leftover EVs are put into Special Attack.

Usage Tips
=============
Diancie should never Mega Evolve against a Charizard, because if it does as it can get lured by Substitute+Solar Beam from Mega Charizard Mega Y(remove hyphen). In most other scenarios, Diancie should Mega Evolve and use Protect should always be clicked against faster threats like Garchomp and Terrakion. If Rock Tomb is ran versus Gengar,(AC) the safest option is to Mega Evolve and Rock Tomb first turn, as this makes sure Gengar cannot set up a Substitute up while its Strongest STAB move Sludge Wave cannot OHKO Mega Diancie.(this implies Rock Tomb puts Mega Gengar below 25%. Did you mean "as Mega Gengar cannot OHKO Mega Diancie with Sludge Wave, thus allowing Mega Diancie to outspeed and KO it even after it sets up Substitute."?) The ability of Mega Diancie, Magic Bounce also makes sure it cannot get burnt by the Gengar's its Will-O-Wisp.(add period)
