[SET COMMENTS]
* Moonblast is Diancie’s strongest move and defeats a wide range of threats like Hoopa-U, Raging Bolt, and Choiced Iron Valiant.
* Power Gem allows Diancie to beat non-stall Zapdos variants and Volcarona even after it has boosted once with Quiver Dance.
* Earth Power should be used against Iron Moth, and Heatran.
* Psychic makes Diancie able to defeat Air Balloon Pecharunt and guarantees an OHKO against Normal Gem Sneasler. Alternatively, Flash Cannon can be used against opposing Diancie.
* The EV spread allows Diancie to tank two Thunderbolt from Special Attack Booster Raging Bolt.
* Diancie struggles against Steel-type foes like Metagross, Iron Crown, and Hisuian Goodra; therefore, teammates like Volcarona, Ursaluna, and Volcanion are appreciated.
* Diancie also struggles into Encore + Disable variations of Alolan Ninetales and Iron Valiant, so it's mandatory to have a teammate that can handle both of them, such as Volcarona and Iron Crown.

* Power Gem allows Diancie to OHKO Life Orb Zapdos and Volcarona even after it has boosted once with Quiver Dance. (OHKO is not the right word to use here given we have both examples, and why has LO zapdos been specified? You beat all non-sub+protect stall variants)

* Moonblast is Diancie’s strongest move and defeats a wide range of threats like Urshifu Hoopa-U (sadly urshifu also uses iron head, only example that comes to my mind rn as a dark-type is hoopa-u cuz it can't do much back to diancie, you're free to change it though), Raging Bolt, and Choiced Iron Valiant.
* Power Gem allows Diancie to beat non-stall Zapdos variants and Volcarona even after it has boosted once with Quiver Dance.
* Earth Power should be used against Iron Moth, Registeel, (136 SpA Choice Specs Diancie Earth Power vs. 248 HP / 252+ SpD Registeel: 120-142 (33 - 39.1%) -- 9.4% chance to 3HKO after Leftovers recovery) and Heatran.
* Psychic makes Diancie able to defeat Air Balloon Pecharunt and guarantees an OHKO against Normal Gem Sneasler. Alternatively, Flash Cannon can be used against opposing Diancie.
* The EV spread allows Diancie to tank two Thunderbolts from Special Attack Booster Raging Bolt.
* Diancie struggles against Steel-type foes like Metagross, Iron Crown, and Hisuian Goodra; therefore, teammates like Volcarona, Ursaluna, and Volcanion are appreciated.
