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.
Generation VII
Diamond Storm now has a 50% chance to raise the user's Defense by two stages if it hits, rather than only one.
Generation VIII onwards
In Versions 1.0 to 1.2.1 of Pokémon Sword and Shield, Diamond Storm could not be selected in a battle. Starting with Version 1.3.0, it is usable and functions the same as it did in the previous generation.
Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl
Diamond Storm cannot be selected in a battle.
