Biology
Dianyan is a pure diamond Yo-kai with big black eyes. Its muzzle and paw tips are solid white, while its inner-ear and nose are gold. Around its belly is a pure gold band to match it's collar, which has an ice blue sphere hanging from it. It has bright yellow tail-flames.
He tends to look down on other people without meaning to, which causes him to have no friends. He also likes to keep whatever he finds, even if it's not his.
His diamond paws can crush mountains according to him. Also, by rolling around, his diamond body can destroy anything.
Profile
Yo-kai Watch
Dianyan and the other Gemnyans can only be obtained by scanning their respective Yo-kai Medal QR code at Piggleston Bank to obtain a Diamond Coin. Using it on the Crank-a-kai will award the Diamond Bell, which makes Dianyan appear.
Dianyan is in the northeast corner of Gourd Pond Museum's 2nd floor, which is located in Breezy Hills. He can be battled once a day until he's befriended through the regular method.
In Yo-kai Watch 1 for Nintendo Switch and Yo-kai Watch 1 Smartphone, a Bandai Dianyan Yo-kai Keystone is required instead.
Yo-kai Watch 2
After linking all 3 versions of the game together, he can be freed along with Emenyan, and Sapphinyan from the Crank-a-Kai in the Gold-Gleaming Highway, which appears after linking all 3 versions of the game together.
Yo-kai Watch 3
Dianyan can be befriended in Ambrosia Pavillion on the Sushi Tempura Course and the Sushi Sukiyaki Course.
He can also be freed from the Crank-a-kai with either a Special Coin, an Iron Pot Coin, a Souvenir Coin L, or a Souvenir Coin F.
He can also be found in Blasters T in the Labyrinth of Treasures.
Yo-kai Watch Blasters
Dianyan can be freed from the Crank-a-kai with a Five-Star Coin or a VIP Coin, as a 1st or 2nd Prize respectively.

In the anime

Etymology
"Dianyan" is a portmanteau of diamond and nyan, onomatopoeia for the sound a cat makes.
Trivia
- Dianyan's first Shadowside Keystone has all of the Gemnyans in the SDCC Dianyan Set as it's Onechanside.
