Diancie's Ability is Clear Body, which prevents its stats from getting lowered.
Mental Herb protects Diancie from the effects of Taunt, which could prevent it from setting up Trick Room.
| Diamond Storm | Dazzling Gleam |
| Trick Room | Protect |
Diancie's Signature Move, Diamond Storm has a 50% chance to raise Diancie's Defense by two stages.
Dazzling Gleam is another Spread Attack that can hit most types for neutral damage.
Trick Room can reverse the turn order and allow for slower Pokemon to attack first.
Protect can keep Diancie safe from getting targetted down.

The best Tera Type for Diancie is Water because it can turn its x4 Weakness to Steel into a resistance. While Water typing comes with new Weaknesses, a single turn where Diancie does not get KOd and sets up Trick Room successfully could spell victory for your team.
A Sassy Nature and a full 252 EV allocation to HP, and 4 Special Defense EVs gives it sufficient Special Defense bulk to take on a hit or two.
252 EVs are put into its Special Attack to maximize its offensive capabilities and the damage that Diamond Storm and Dazzling Gleam can do.
| Body Press | Once Diancie has gotten its Defense buffs from Diamond Storm, Body Press becomes a potent threat. |
|---|
Diancie's Signature Move, Diamond Storm, runs the chance of increasing its Defense by two stages. This makes it even harder to KO on the physical side.
Its STAB Dazzling Gleam can also deal good damage, but these moves run the risk of getting walled by Wide Guard.
Diancie can reliably set up Trick Room if you have ways to protect it. Slow teammates that take advantage of Trick Room can greatly benefit and give you enough momentum to win the game.

Diancie is best suited in Trick Room teams with slow and bulky Pokemon who can thrive in Trick Room. Calyrex Ice Rider is a great Trick Room Pokemon, who can also set Trick Room, but it shares a Weakness to Steel.
Teammates with type advantage against Steel are also great to have, such as Iron Hands and Ting-Lu.
Steel-types are great against Diancie because Diancie has a x4 Weakness to Steel. Having a strong Steel-type could either force Diancie to Terastallize or switch.
