    - Interesting double typing in Ubers as rock / fairy brings interesting resists to Fire, Flying, Bug, Dark, Normal and immunity to Dragon, like this it can check threats such as Ho-oh, Yveltal and Darkrai.

    - Very high stats in both defences (150 base stat)

    - Decent offense for a staller (236 in both attacks with no invest and no nature thanks to its 100 base stats)

    - Its signature move Diamond storm is as powerful as Stone Edge, with better accuracy (95%) and 50% chance to increase Defence by 1 stage.

    - Low HP (304 at best) and speed (50 base stat in both).

    - Weak to Water, Ground and Steel (x4) which are very common moves, and also to Grass.

    - No other way to recover except Rest

    - Poor movepool but can set up Stealth Rocks.

    Mixed Staller set :

    Diancie @ Leftovers
    Trait: Clear Body
    EVs: 248 HP / 60 Def / 200 SDef
    Relaxed Nature
    - Moonblast
    - Sleep Talk
    - Rest
    - Diamond Storm

    Evs give 386 in both defence, and even with its low 303 hp it is really bulky. It can switch in Sacred Fire / Brave Bird from Ho-oh and Diamond Storm back, but be careful about Earthquake. It can switch in any Yveltal move except never seen Steel Wing, and strike back with Moonblast or Diamond Storm. It also checks Darkrai as it can switch even in Nasty Plot, and then 2HKO with Moonblast (there is even 43.8% chance to 0HKO Darkrai after rocks). Darkrai at +2 can only 3HKO so Diancie don't fear it. Even asleep it can hit with Sleep Talk, just don't be unlucky...

    Some calculations to show the bulk and the power to strike back :

    0 SpA Diancie Moonblast vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Darkrai: 222-264 (79 - 93.9%) -- 43.8% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock

    +2 252 SpA Darkrai Sludge Bomb vs. 248 HP / 200 SpD Diancie: 124-146 (40.9 - 48.1%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery

    +2 252 SpA Darkrai Sludge Bomb vs. 248 HP / 200 SpD Diancie: 124-146 (40.9 - 48.1%) -- 8.2% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery

    252+ Atk Choice Band Ho-Oh Sacred Fire vs. 248 HP / 60+ Def Diancie: 82-97 (27 - 32%) -- 56.2% chance to 4HKO after Leftovers recovery

    252+ Atk Choice Band Ho-Oh Brave Bird vs. 248 HP / 60+ Def Diancie: 99-117 (32.6 - 38.6%) -- 5.1% chance to 3HKO after Leftovers recovery

    252+ Atk Choice Band Ho-Oh Earthquake vs. 248 HP / 60+ Def Diancie: 220-260 (72.6 - 85.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

    0 Atk Diancie Diamond Storm vs. 248 HP / 0 Def Ho-Oh: 472-556 (113.7 - 133.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO

    252 SpA Life Orb Dark Aura Yveltal Dark Pulse vs. 248 HP / 200 SpD Diancie: 70-83 (23.1 - 27.3%) -- possible 5HKO after Leftovers recovery

    0 Atk Diancie Diamond Storm vs. 0 HP / 0- Def Yveltal: 252-296 (64.1 - 75.3%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock

    Well, in conclusion Diancie is excellent at checking those pokemons, but it can't do many other things though.

    OO :

    Stealth Rocks are interesting, but good luck to fit it in the set.
    Diancie learns Toxic, which is always nice in a stall team.
    It also learns Gyro ball, but it isnt really useful...
    You can make it more bulky on a side to check Zekrom for example, because you 2HKO it back with Moonblast.

    252 Atk Teravolt Zekrom Bolt Strike vs. 248 HP / 156+ Def Diancie: 135-160 (44.5 - 52.8%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery

    Good partners :

    Grassceus fits pretty well as it counters Palkia and Kyogre, it can take Water, Grass and Ground moves while Diancie takes Fire, Flying and Bug moves aimed at Grassceus. A steel type like (Mega) Scizor is also good as it traps Mega Gengar with Pursuit and it takes Steel and Poison moves while Diancie takes Fire ones. A bulky ghost poke like Giratina is also appreciated to burn physical attackers like Mega Lucario, Mega Kanga, etc...
    Lando-T can also check Fighting attackers and Ground ones, but it brings double Water weakness.

    C&C :

    Kyogre, Palkia, and ground types overpowers it and don't fear anything except Toxic or Moonblast drop.
    Any steel move beats you, powerful Earthquakes as well.
    Gengar can only 3HKO it while diamond storm is 99.6% 2HKO, so psyshock isnt needed.

    This is my first analysis so any feedback is appreciated :)

    Thanks !

    EDIT : I can't put a picture because it makes an error, so please help me with it ! (Done by Fuzzysqurl)

    Mention that it's immune to dragon, and can help vs stuff like Krom, Rayquaza and the uncommon/very rare Reshiram and that unlike other fairies, it doesn't get owned by Gengar and Fire types due to it's nice typing. Landorus-T is a good partner since it's immune to ground typing, and the combo helps you counter Zekrom very nicely. Aegislash is a nice counter as far as I can see. Remove the gyro ball thing, as it's pretty much useless (unless it does a lot of damage to Xerneas, in which case, you should add that to the gyro ball description in OO). Probably mention rock polish and TR in OO.

    Probably will add more when I get the time to use this Pokemon.
