Uselesscrab pick Mega Diancie and move on to stage 6 lol
Wrap and Sand Tomb are weak af even with Pixilate or a super effective hit, whereas Magma Storm is actually a powerful move that allows Diancie to break through many of its common checks.Have we considered using Wrap over Magma Storm on Diancie? It get's Pixilated, uses Diancie's higher attack stat and has better accuracy (Magma Storm seems a little unreliable, at least to me). We could also go with Sand Tomb if we still want coverage
Magma storm is mainly for trapping and dealing respectable damage to bulky steels, more so than killing Shedinja. If you want a move for killing shedinja and trapping random pokes more reliably than magmastorm, you're better off using infestation or whirlpool. Mainly because the former has no immunities and has perfect accuracy, while the latter is not affected by kings/spiky shield and rocky helmet and has the least immunities compared to things like sand tomb. And besides, Wrap has 20 base power so it's going to do fuck-all even after a pixilate boost.Have we considered using Wrap over Magma Storm on Diancie?

Surprised the team doesn't have this yet lol. This gives the team a back-up check against Proteans, -ates, and a variety of other offensive threats, and allows to scout out movesets; this is important for Kyogre before it activates its Toxic Orb so that we can make sure we don't accidentally switch it in on a status move or Knock Off. It also helps the team with its crippling weakness to mixed Contrary.

It breaks illusion, but Final Gambit is a good option too.Magma storm is mainly for trapping and dealing respectable damage to bulky steels, more so than killing Shedinja.

The set is fine as it is, although i would like to change it a bit if Uselesscrab implemented the variant Piccolo Daimo suggested.
I personally prefer blue flare over magma storm, but that's just me.

Which is why we will make adjustments to the team after the last Pokemon is added.The team is still going to be really bad :/. Voting for Kit Kasai's Ho-Oh.
Practically half the team needs to be changed, then. Kind of kills the point.Which is why we will make adjustments to the team after the last Pokemon is added.
