With the reveal of the first X and Y event pokemon, Diancie, in a recent Coro Coro issue, I thought I’d touch upon a theory of mine. Diancie is a rock/fairy type, a type that is only shared by carbink. Interestingly, they both seem to have a gem motiff. I heard Diancie’s leaked pokedex entry state that it compresses carbon in the air into crystal structures seemingly creating gems out of thin air. Now, wouldn’t it be interesting if Diancie was the mother of all Carbink?

Well, I’m normally lukewarm at best about this kind of speculation, but I do remember thinking when I first saw Carbink that it must  evolve, because it didn’t ‘look’ finished, and being rather surprised when it didn’t… so I don’t know.  I don’t think there’d be any precedent for a relationship like that between a common and a legendary Pokémon, but that doesn’t mean Diancie couldn’t be the first.  Maybe?
