Pros and cons for each combatant:

Mew

+Most versatile of all combatants.

+Not hit Super Effectively by any other combatant.

+Transform can be used to copy any other combatant's abilities, including Diancie's Mega Evolution.

+Has plenty of Set-up moves, allowing it to smash the others if it takes advantage of them properly.

-Lacks the raw power and accuracy of Victini, but this is remedied if it transforms into Victini.

-Me First requires Mew to be faster, thus it cannot be used on Mega Diancie.

-Synchronize is useless in this battle, but again, remedied by Transform.

-Transform is permanent until the battle ends, so Mew only gets one use of it and cannot use any of its own abilities once it uses Trasnform.

Celebi

+Best defensive movepool of all combatants.

+Has the best survivability of the combatants.

+Heal Block can prevent the other combatants from healing.

+Ancient Power can raise all stats.

-Mew can avoid Leech Seed by transforming into Celebi.

-Victini hits it Super Effectively.

-Natural Cure is useless.

-Offensive Movepool is downright terrible.

Jirachi

+Best defensive typing of all combatants- only Manaphy and Victini are not resisted by it.

+High Damage over time with Doom Desire and Future Sight, the latter of which condemns Diancie.

+Cosmic Power raises Jirachi's defenses, which can save it from even a V-Create if it gets enough off.

+Zen Headbutt, combined with Serene Grace, can flinch an opponent repeatedly in quick succession.

-Without a few Cosmic Powers, Victini's V-Create WILL take it down.

-Doesn't really have an answer for Celebi's Leech Seed.

-Mostly uses Psychic-type moves, doesn't have much to hit Mew, Victini or Celebi with that isn't resisted.

Manaphy

+Hits Victini and Diancie Super Effectively, and hits everyone else sans Celebi for neutral damage.

+Tail Glow and Acid Armor can increase Special Attack and Defense quickly.

+Heart Swap can really mess up the other Pokemon that like to set up, such as Mew or Jirachi.

+Slow, but reliable recovery with Aqua Ring.

+Water Sport messes Victini up further.

-Though if it hits Victini with Heart Swap after a V-Create, only bad things will come to Manaphy.

-Weakest attacks of the combatants, somewhat alleviated with Tail Glow's set-up speed.

Victini

+Highest accuracy of the cast, and the best offensive typing, no combatant resists both its STABs.

+Victory Star allows low-accuracy moves to hit more often.

+V-Create is the strongest attack used by any combatant

-Hit Super Effectively and walled by both Diancie and Manaphy.

-All of Victini's strongest moves have downsides- Flare Blitz' Recoil, V-Create's and Overheat's Stat Drops and Inferno's low accuracy, even with the Victory Star accuracy bonus. Searing Shot is most reliable, but it has low PP.

-No way to set up anything at all.

Diancie

+Even when Mega Evolved, has the highest defensive stats of the combatants.

+Only combatant who is able to Mega Evolve. When Mega Evolved, has the highest speed of all combatants.

+Reflect and Light Screen can further bolster defenses, and Safeguard prevents the risk of Victini burning it with Inferno.

+Hits Victini Super Effectively.

+Magic Bounce prevents Celebi from hitting it with Leech Seed, but it can also use Skill Swap to take away Victini's Victory Star, at the cost of losing Magic Bounce.

+Has powerful attacks on both sides of the spectrum, with Diamond Storm and Moonblast.

+Sharpen raises Attack.. i guess? Also, Ancient Power can raise all stats.

-Jirachi walls it and, if it gets targeted with Doom Desire, it's, well, doomed.

-Has the lowest HP of all combatants.

-Trick Room is useless once Mega Evolved.
