[SET COMMENTS]
Ice Scales Dialga-O is a robust special wall that can tank hits from most of the special attackers in the tier. Draco Meteor OHKOes the two most common special attackers in Palkia-O and Eternatus, and it also prevents specially-frail targets like Dondozo and Groudon from switching in safely. Toxic annoys bulky defensive Pokemon like Ting-Lu and Arceus formes, notably invalidating most setup variants of the latter, and it also prevents Fairy-types like Zacian from switching in freely. Parting Shot lets Dialga-O safely pivot in offensive teammates and can be cycled alongside a Prankster user to safely rack up Toxic damage; alternatively, Teleport allows Dialga-O to use 252 Speed EVs and moves after Ting-Lu's U-turn, which helps get dangerous wallbreakers like Koraidon and Enamorus in safe from utility moves like Knock Off and Nuzzle. Moonlight and Recover are largely the same, though Moonlight benefits from sun, whereas Recover is more consistent. Ice Scales Dialga-O's best fit is on balance teams that want a reliable, non-passive special wall and a slow pivot. Fairy-types like Zacian are recommended as backup checks for Tera Dragon + Dragon Energy attackers like Palkia-O, which can break past Dialga-O after Nasty Plot. Teammates like Primordial Sea Corviknight and Fur Coat Arceus-Fire are recommended to shore up Dialga-O's weakness to Pixilate Enamorus, which can threaten to 2HKO it with V-create or Headlong Rush. Tera Fairy grants a Dragon immunity and drops the Ground weakness, allowing Dialga-O to check Arceus-Ground, Palkia-O, and Enamorus in a pinch, even though it must watch out for the former's Toxic. Dialga-O Imposter-proofs itself thanks to its Toxic immunity, but it can be hard to prevent the foe from healing; pivoting to an offensive teammate like Choice Band Groudon or Koraidon is recommended to take advantage of this.

IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe I'm not sure of the conventions here because you would not run min speed on TP sets, I think you can do TP first slash and then say "If running Parting Shot, run 0 ivs"?
- Draco Meteor
- Toxic
- Parting Shot / Teleport Slash Spirit Shackle, by far easiest way to improof the set
- Moonlight Shore Up, are not checking any OPulse users, OPulse users don't switch in, don't get healing denied by stuff like PSea Corv

Ice Scales Dialga-O is a robust special wall that can tank most of the special attackers in the tier. Compared to the RegenVest set, Ice Scales takes higher bulk, an unremovable item, and the ability to use manual recovery unsure how this is a positive in exchange for the momentum offered by Regenerator. Draco Meteor OHKOes the two most common special attackers in Palkia-O and Miraidon, and it also prevents specially frail targets like Dondozo and Groudon from switching in safely. Toxic annoys bulky defensive Pokemon like Ting-Lu and Arceus formes, notably invalidating most setup variants of the latter Mention hitting Fairy-types, otherwise switch in for free and click whatever. Parting Shot lets Dialga-O safely pivot in offensive teammates and can be cycled with a Prankster teammate to safely rack up Toxic damage; alternatively, Teleport moves after Ting-Lu's U-turn, which helps get dangerous wallbreakers like Pixilate Enamorus in safe from utility moves like Knock Off and Nuzzle. Ice Scales Dialga-O's best fit is on balance teams that want a reliable, non-passive special wall and a slow pivot. Teammates like Need to specify abilities, Corv dies to VC and Fireceus 2HKOed by Headlong Corviknight and Arceus-Fire are recommended to shore up Dialga-O's weakness to Pixilate Enamorus, which can threaten to 2HKO it with V-create or Headlong Rush. Should mention a Fairy-type teammate somewhere considering DiaO is not a sturdy DEnergy switch in. Shuca Berry and Revelation Dance are niche options that can help fix this weakness, however Dialga-O heavily misses losing out on Adamant Crystal and Toxic, respectively. Tera Fairy grants a Dragon immunity and drops the Ground weakness, allowing Dialga-O to check Palkia-O and Enamorus in a pinch feel like this can be reworded a bit if the Palk point is mainly to eat Denergy since Mirai is also an issue there. Dialga-O Imposter-proofs itself thanks to its Toxic immunity, however teammates that limit the Imposter user's ability to freely heal and pivot to a teammate, such as Groudon and Ting-Lu, are recommended This is misleading, this set does not Imposter-proof itself when Imposter switches in absolutely free and heals up, also neither of the suggested teammates want to take the Toxic and Groudon doesn't want to eat Draco either.

implemented, ty!

and the ability to use manual recovery unsure how this is a positive

- the whole point of this sentence is that you don't have to switch to heal. i can't find the replay but pretty sure where was a gen 8 tour game where MAMP had a regenvest dialga and couldn't improof yveltal because it had to u-turn and take spikes just to heal
- not adding shackle. you go from something that already dissuades imp's entry with the risk of getting slow pivoted on to something that completely and wholly gets farmed by ting-lu

Ice Scales Dialga-O is a robust special wall that can tank hits from most of the special attackers in the tier just makes more sense to me. Compared to the RegenVest set, Ice Scales takes higher bulk, an unremoveable item, and the ability to use manual recovery in exchange for the momentum offered by Regenerator. Draco Meteor OHKOes the two most common special attackers in Palkia-O and Miraidon, and it also prevents specially frail targets like Dondozo and Groudon from switching in safely. Toxic annoys bulky defensive Pokemon like Ting-Lu and Arceus formes, notably invalidating most setup variants of the latter, and it also prevents Fairy-types like Zacian from switching in freely. Parting Shot lets Dialga-O safely pivot in offensive teammates and can be cycled with a Prankster Parting Shot being more specific on what your cycling teammate to safely rack up Toxic damage; alternatively, Teleport allows for 252 Speed EVs and moves after Ting-Lu's U-turn, which helps get dangerous wallbreakers like Pixilate Enamorus and Koraidon in safe from utility moves like Knock Off and Nuzzle. Moonlight and Recover are largely the same, as Moonlight benefits from sun, whereas Recover is more consistent. Ice Scales Dialga-O's best fit is on balance teams that want a reliable, non-passive special wall and a slow pivot. Fairy-types like Zacian are recommended as backup checks for Tera Dragon + Dragon Energy attackers like Palkia-O and Miraidon you said attackers but only mentioned one example, which can break past after Nasty Plot. Teammates like Primordial Sea Corviknight and Fur Coat Arceus-Fire are recommended to shore up Dialga-O's weakness to Pixilate Enamorus, which can threaten to 2HKO it with V-create or Headlong Rush. Shuca Berry and Revelation Dance are niche options that can help fix this weakness, however Dialga-O heavily misses losing out on Adamant Crystal and Toxic, respectively is this whole shuca + rev dance sentence worth mentioning? I know its niche but probably not worth it since you're losing a lot. Tera Fairy grants a Dragon immunity and drops the Ground weakness, allowing Dialga-O to check Miraidon, Palkia-O, and Enamorus in a pinch, even though it must watch out for the former's Rising Voltage. Dialga-O Imposter-proofs itself thanks to its Toxic immunity i wouldn't necessarily say it imposter proofs itself, its more of a pokemon taking advantage of its typing, however it can be hard to prevent the foe from healing; pivoting to an offensive teammate like Choice Band Groudon or Koraidon is recommended to take advantage of this.

Ice Scales Dialga-O is a robust special wall that can tank hits from most of the special attackers in the tier. Compared to the RegenVest set, cross-referencing sets isn't allowed Ice Scales takes higher bulk, an unremoveable item, and the ability to use manual recovery in exchange for the momentum offered by Regenerator. Draco Meteor OHKOes the two most common special attackers in Palkia-O and Eternatus, and it also prevents specially-frail added hyphen targets like Dondozo and Groudon from switching in safely.

(they do like the exact same main job but in notably different ways tho and drawing comparisons between ice scales and regenvest is actually important)
