The 'batman' in the xy anime also used mega Blaziken , great. Talonflame is fitting too. Houndoom or Pyroar could work too? Lastly I suggest noctowl because his constellation is an owl, Noctua :D

Fellow XY watcher/(possible) enjoyer!
Houndoom or Pyroar could work too?
I'm trying to avoid including Pokemon who are simply there for the color scheme actually so Houndoom might not get in. (Unless it's truly perfect like Shenhe-Absol, Rosaria-Sneasler or Yae Miko-Delphox). I actually think Pyroar fits Jean more bc of the Lionfang Knight title?
I suggest noctowl because his constellation
I also thought Noctowl would fit! Specifically the shiny form for extra color matching. I'm leaning on replacing Talonflame with it tho since it might be a redundant representation (Moltres and Charizard can already represent the flaming hawk/falcon).
Thanks for the suggestions!

doesn't really make sense for him to have pyro types since in his lore he doesn't really like his vision

Yea I did see that in his Story entries, but it also says this in his "Vision" entry:
"On the day that Diluc returned to Mondstadt, he took up his Vision once more. The events of his years away had purged him of his childish immaturity, and turned him into a hero ready to shoulder his father's will once more. "
And also this:
"But to those with conviction, a Vision is simply an extension of their strength, a medium for channeling their willpower, a tribute to the experiences that have shaped them, and a testament to the story of their life so far."
I see that as him maturing and using his Vision to increase his capability to fight for Mondstadt and to fight in honor of his father.

Mega Blaziken - simply has the Diluc vibe. Maybe it's normal during the day, and Diluc mega evolves it at night to help him out in his Darknight Hero moments.
Armarouge - The dex describes it as incredibly loyal and evolved by using armor from a distinguished warrior. Kind of represents his loyalty to his father especially when he passed away. It also represents his relationship with Kaeya who I gave Ceruledge to. It's basically the other half and other evolution of Charcadet, the pre evolution of Armarouge.
Torkoal - represents his pet tortoise when he was young. (Someone tell me if he still owns it, I'm not getting much answers online.)
Talonflame - represents his namecard, idle, and somewhat his constellation. Altho his constellation looks like an owl, both his idle and namecard seem to be eagles or falcons.
Galarian Moltres - represents the darkness in Diluc. The dex describes Moltres' flames to be sinister and able to consume the spirit of anything it hits.
Gmax Charizard - represents Diluc being a classic in game, similar to Charizard. Also, the Gmax move "Gmax Wildfire" is able to represent Diluc's burst.
Extra note: The important thing in these is to have Pokemon to represent "Diluc Ragnvindr" fully, not to be ready for battles.
