Pokemon TCG Best Mega Diancie Ex Deck Guide Overview

Mega Diancie ex has two things that make it appealing to players. The first of these is its Ability Diamond Coat, which reduces the damage it takes from direct attacks by 30. While this may not seem like a lot, even taking 30 less damage can be just enough in clutch situations.

However, its main draw comes from its move, Garland Ray. This move requires you to discard up to two Energy cards attached to Mega Diancie ex, dealing 120 damage for each discarded Energy. And thanks to Gardevoir ex’s Ability Psychic Embrace, this move is easily spammable turn after turn.
