* TheCameo: The World of Pokémon recap has Diantha facing Wikstrom, and the trainer Ash faces before the plot kicks off is Astrid from the first ''Mega Evolution'' special.
** Also, a pair of extras based on the Tourist trainer class from ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY'' appear. One during the movie, based on the "old lady" variation, while a second based on the "young lady" design appears during the credits.

* {{Foil}}: The trainers of the fully evolved Kalos starters to the protagonists.
** Greninja's trainer, Ninja Riot, is a serious, silent ninja to, well, [[HotBlooded As]][[IdiotHero h]].
** Delphox's trainer, Merilyn Flame, is a sultry DarkActionGirl contrasting Serena's girlishness.
** Chesnaught's trainer, Millis Steel, averts this, as she is a geeky-looking character much like Clemont. She is also accompanied by her father rather than a sibling.

* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: Diancie is the princess of the Diamond Ore Country.

* RiddleForTheAges: Why did Yveltal raze the forest in the first place? And what did Xerneas told Yveltal to convince it to leave the forest in peace?

* DarkIsEvil: Yveltal is easily the biggest threat in the movie, and spends most of it's time [[spoiler:sapping the life out of everything it sees once it awakens. In the end, Xerneas stops it by calming it down rather than making it go through a HeelFaceTurn (as is normal for "villainous" Pokemon). Though going by its behavior after Xerneas speaks to it, it's implied that it wasn't quite in its right mind during the rampage.]]

''Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction'' is the 17th movie entry in the ''Film/{{Pokemon}}'' movie franchise. It is the debut of the legendary Pokémon Diancie and the anime debut of Yveltal and Xerneas. This movie follows Ash and friends as they journey through Diamond Ore Country with Diancie looking for Xerneas. Compounding problems is the Destruction Pokémon Yveltal living up to its title. Also to appear are the new [[SuperMode Mega Evolution]]s. This movie appeared in Japanese theaters on July 19th, 2014. It made it's English debut in Australian and New Zealand theaters on November 8th later that year, and aired on Cartoon Network in the United States on the same day.

The movie will tie in with the various "Mega Evolution" specials from the series, with side characters from the specials set to appear in the movie.

* EvilAllAlong: Millis helped Diancie escape Team Rocket from the clock tower, as well as Ninja and Marilyn mid-way, before her true nature is revealed.

* PowerFloats: Downplayed. Diancie ''can'' float, but only in place; she otherwise has to hop around on her rock half to get around, [[{{Dojikko}} which doesn't always work out well]]. [[spoiler:She probably can hover properly in Mega form, though in both instances when she mega evolves, she doesn't actually move from her spot to demonstrate it.]] Averted entirely with all the Carbink, who don't float at all like they do in the games.

* {{Dojikko}}: Diancie trips on her rock half more than once.

** Also, a pair of extras based on the Tourist trainer class from ''VideoGame/PokemonXandY'' appear. One during the movie, based on the "old lady" variation, while a second based on the "young lady" design appears during the credits.

* TalkingAnimal: Diancie and the Carbink are all capable of human speech ([[LipLock even though Diancie doesn't seem to talk through her mouth]]). Later on, Xerneas speaks with Diancie and, near the end, to the heroes, through telepathy as well.

* FaceHeelTurn[=/=]EvilAllAlong: Millis helped Diancie escape Team Rocket from the clock tower, as well as Ninja and Marilyn mid-way, before her true nature is revealed.

* [[TalkingAnimal Talking Pokémon]]: Diancie and the Carbink are all capable of human speech ([[LipLock even though Diancie doesn't seem to talk through her mouth]]). Later on, Xerneas speaks with Diancie and, near the end, to the heroes, through telepathy as well.

** [[spoiler:actually Argus steel was competing against the other thieves with his daughter helping him,]]

* [[TalkingAnimal Talking Pokémon]]: Diancie and the Carbink are all capable of human speech ([[LipLock even though Diancie doesn't seem to talk through her mouth]]). Later on, Xeneras speaks with Dianice and, near the end, to the heroes, through telepathy as well.

* AdaptationalVillainy: In the games, Yveltal is a case of DarkIsNotEvil, and the destruction it causes is more a part of its life cycle than deliberate malice.
** Though the possibility exists that Yveltal wasn't in complete control of its actions.

* DarkIsEvil[=/=][[spoiler:DarkIsNotEvil]]: Yveltal is easily the biggest threat in the movie, and spends most of it's time [[spoiler:sapping the life out of everything it sees once it awakens.
