- Heal Bell

Diancie is one of the premier Stealth Rock setters in the RU tier. Its extraordinary Rock / Fairy typing coupled with its great defenses enables it to check a number of threats in the tier while having the capability of keeping up Stealth Rock versus common users of hazard removal, not to mention Diancie can also act as a cleric with its access to Heal Bell. While Diancie possess mediocre attacking stats, its STAB moves are strong and have decent coverage that make up for it. Unfortunately, Diancie lacks reliable recovery and must rely on Leftovers or Z-Heal Bell, making it susceptible to Knock Off if running the former and being worn down by entry hazards and Pokemon it commonly checks such as Noivern and Houndoom. Diancie pairs well with hazard removal and Pokemon that can cover its weaknesses. Bulky Water-types such as Slowbro are good partners, as they can cover the Water- and Steel-type attacks that Diancie is weak to. Additionally, Tsareena is a great partner, as it resists most of the types Diancie is weak to and has access to Rapid Spin.

thus making it suspectible to Knock Off if running the former and being worn down by Entry Hazards and Pokémon it commonly checks such as Houndoom and Swellow.

Noivern is a much better example then Swellow.

Bulky Water-types such as Milotic

here too, Slowbro is a much better example since its more relevant in this metagame and diancie covers slowbro weaknesses pretty well.

Rotom-Mow is a great partner as it resists all of Diancie's weaknesses, is immune to Ground type attacks, and has access to Defog.

rotom-mow is really bad, tsareena and virizion are a much better example of grass types that can cover better diancie's weaknesses.

with those changes qc 1/1
