That seems like a really bad bug considering you can get this request before completing the story. Plus i completed the gem royalty request and diancie did the pink light attack then too. Getting diancie to do this is also required for the mawile request iirc.

Yes, that seems to have been it! Tried it again after completing the story and it works now.
