The attack Diamond Rain lists 90 damage. The cost is Fighting, Fighting, Fighting. Heal 30 damage from each of your Benched Pokémon. Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The card text says: ◇ (Prism Star) Rule: You can't have more than 1 ◇ card with the same name in your deck. If a ◇ card would go to the discard pile, put it in the Lost Zone instead. The flavor text reads "It can instantly create many diamonds by compressing the carbon in the air between its hands."

I keep a set binder for Forbidden Light, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Forbidden Light set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Diancie can fill a slot in Generation 6 binder (Kalos). Themed lists that include this exact card are Prism Star and Star cards. I still need this card.
