Diamond Storm (Japanese: ダイヤストーム Dia Storm) is a damage-dealing Rock-type move introduced in Generation VI. It is the signature move of Diancie.

Effect

Generation VI

Diamond Storm deals damage. It has a 50% chance to raise the user's Defense by one stage for each Pokémon that it hits. If it increases the user's Defense stat more than once from a single use, the stat raising animation will only play once, but a message stating that its Defense rose will appear for each increase.
