Talk:Diamond Storm (move)

I have noticed that the defense raising effect can trigger for each opponent hit I'm surprised that's not noted on the page. Questioner (talk) 22:32, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

Diamond Storm is Renamon's Attack!

I'm surprised that no one has ever mentioned nor noticed this, but is worth mentioning here that the attack's name of Diamond Storm is already used as Renamon's signature attack in Digimon Tamers. Cynthia149 (talk) 19:57, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

No. It's simply a coincidence. And I'm pretty sure most Pokémon moves have the same name as a move/attack from other shows/games.--ForceFire 05:01, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

Not a Sacred Fire variation

I recognize that the two moves were probably stated to be variations on one another for the following reasons (and you can let me know if I missed any): Both moves have:

1: 100 power

2: 95 accuracy

3: A secondary effect that has a 50% chance to activate

While these are all impressive similarities, there is one striking difference that causes me to question whether these moves can truly be called variations, namely that Diamond Storm is a multi-target move. In a single battle, it would make sense, but I think the number of targets does affect what we consider "variations." Otherwise, Dragon Hammer would be listed as a variation of Land's Wrath. Because of this, I do not think we should classify Diamond Storm and Sacred Fire to be variations on one another. I'd be glad to know your thoughts, though.

I quickly checked some of the other variations and didn't see any other case like this; moreover, Surf's and Flamethrower's variations specifically list number of targets as a similarity, so it does matter. So I also think they should not be considered variations. Kikugi (talk) 05:53, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
