ORAS Mega Diancie

This is the total opposite of what I was expecting her to get.
Not sure how better it will be than regular Diancie... depending on any tutor moves she gets in ORAS she might get a niche. (praying she gets Earth Power)

Not really.
They tend to play on the existing Pokemons highest stats and work from there.
Take Houdoom for instance:
Its speed and sp.a are its highest attributes in its normal form, so Mega Houdoom adds to that. (although its highest stat boost is its defense gaining 40 points)
(and for the record, speed is the only stat that it actually mentions Mega Sceptile has a boost on the official ORAS website)
But existing Megas tend to have similar set ups to the regular mons. With Diancie though, her stats turn from wall-esque to what appear to be sweeper-esque.

Ampharos: Its fabulous weave (and butthair) is dense and adds weight, thus not allowing it to move as fast as it might have been able to.
Tyranitar: that is one I can't explain
Absol: It 'wings' aren't functional... they're just its fur thats now standing on end from the energy from Mega Evolution, they just have the appearance of wings.
My prediction on Mega Diancie's stats:
50/150/125/150/125/100
50/150/125/150/125/100
Anyone else feel like Mega Diancie kinda resembles Sailor Moon? Or is it just me because Sailor Moon is being rebroadcast-ed again xP

It reminds me more of Caitlin, because it has servants that you can fight, while Diancie is hidden away for you to fight later.
So basically Mega Diancie is a fast, bouncy anime chick. Got it.
I actually do think the Mega form of Diancie is pretty sweet. I was kinda "meh" about Diancie at first since it just seemed like a girl-ified version of the already-super-cute Carbink, but the Mega form adds majesty and makes the design more interesting.

Who faceted Diancie's head? That must've taken some skill and a lot of effort. And why does the diamond change its cut shape upon Mega Evolving? 
I really wasn't expecting Magic Bounce as the Ability. It's better than something like Clear Body though.

I like Mega Diancie, and I think it's a pretty good representation of what I like in a Mega -- logical changes/improvements upon the base form. The only part that bothers me, though, are the diamonds which float under it. Doesn't bother me on, say, Mega Medicham or Mega Alakazam as they add to the designs and have logical explanations, whereas Mega Diancie's diamonds seem rather superfluous.
Just looks better to me is all.
In terms of aesthetics Mega Diancie reminds me too much of Mega Gardevoir.
That doesn't make it a glass cannon. It's common logic that you switch out from a threat. A glass cannon can't take hits, mega Diancie will definitely be able to take some hits.98Greener said:
By that logic even Garchomp is a glass cannon because it has a 4x common Ice weakness and can be OHKOd by most Ice attacks... we all know that Garchomp isn't a glass cannon though.
I think Mega Diancie, as I meant to show with my guess on its stats, will be a decently powerful and balanced Pokémon... even if her Defenses/Offenses don't decease/increase as much as I think (like less 10 points or something), she will still be fairly bulky and at the same time, have good offenses to actually beat something, specially when you acount the increased Speed... The only bad thing remanining will be her movepool...
