Pokédex · VI (Kalos)

Diancie#719

Strong point: Defense — among the highest in the entire Pokédex. Its weakest point is Speed — lower than 71% of species. Overall it is one of the stronger species — above 94% of the Pokédex. It does not evolve: it does not come from anything and does not change into anything. On defense it has 4 weaknesses, 5 resistances and 1 full immunity. Watch out for the Steel type — damage from it is quadrupled. This is a Mythical Pokémon — it does not appear in normal gameplay; it was handed out at events and through distributions. Very hard to catch — bring plenty of Poké Balls and something that puts it to sleep or paralyzes it.

Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Defense; weak point: HP.

Defense and Sp. Def share first place here, so any nature that raises one of them will do. The list of natures shows what each one does.

Which nature to choose

Attack (100) and Sp. Atk (100) are nearly equal, so neither of these two stats can be lowered for free. The price has to be paid in defense — in the weaker one, because Defense does not stop anything here anyway.

  • Brave +Atk · −Spe Slow and attacking on both sides — the cheapest thing to give up is what it does not have. Under Trick Room this drop actually helps.

A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.

How players use it

Data from 44,274 ranked battles on Smogon (Gen 9 UU, 2026-07). These are not numbers from the game — they are player habits. Gen 9 UU is one tier lower: it is played without the Pokémon most often used in OU, so the same species hold completely different places here.

Rank 106 among 274 Pokémon in use — it is on 0.54% of teams.

Tera Type Grass 46.4% Ground 16.2% Water 13.2% Fighting 12.1% Steel 5.7% Poison 4.1%
EV spreads Quiet · 252 SpA / 248 HP / 8 Def 45.3% Quiet · 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 Def 13.9% Quiet · 252 SpA / 248 HP / 8 SpD 9.6% Bold · 208 SpA / 160 Spe / 108 Def / 32 HP 9.5% Modest · 252 SpA / 224 Spe / 32 HP 4.1%

Each row is a separate distribution, not a single set: the most common item and the most common move do not have to appear on the same Pokémon.
