Carbink can take just as much of a pounding as Shuckle can. Unless you're talking Steel (or Grass, or Ground).

Carbink is to Diancie as Luvdisc is to Alomomola.

I doubt carbink will evolve and/or become Diancie.

I'd imagine the relationship would be something akin to Manaphy and Phione. Though not necessarily in terms of mechanics.

Edit: Speak of the devil, we just got a trailer for it.

Diancie is an extremely rare Pokémon, created when Carbink undergoes a strange mutation. Its glittering pink body is said to be the most beautiful sight in the world.

Diancie can create diamonds out of thin air by compressing the carbon in the atmosphere with its hands. It uses these jewels in battle to attack enemies and protect itself.

Well, how about that? Diancie's relation to Carbink has been officially confirmed!
From the official Pokedex entry: 'A sudden transformation of Carbink, its pink, glimmering body is said to be the loveliest sight in the whole world.'

EDIT: Damn it, SirRob! You beat me to it!

Whew! I finished the National Pokedex for the first time ever last night, bar a couple event legendaries. I actually restarted my Heart Gold file so I could get the legendaries from there and swap them through the GTS for legendaries I didn't have. I tried to speed run it, but it took a pretty long time! I even lost to Whitney's Miltank. :\

I have successfully bred two Smeargle with 6 IV's.

...of zero.

Yes, they are Smeargle in the bottom % of all Smeargle. I named them Zero and Zilch.

I'm impressed, I've always wanted to try that. It's actually harder to do that than to get one with perfect IVs, I think.

No, once you get started it's actually the same. The only real difference is you don't have Friend Safari or baby Pokemon (who are guaranteed to have 2-3 flawless IVs) to get you started with (I literally took dozens of my Pokemon out of the PC solely to find out which ones had zeros in their IVs).

I seriously hope Diancie is not a Gamestop event. The closest Gamestop to me is like 100 miles away at least. =n=
I hate living in the middle of nowhere.

I was playing my brother's Sapphire version once and his Pokemon caught Pokerus. He got mad at me for "breaking his game".

I already knew about it, but it was a waste of time telling him that it was normal.

I'll be honest, I freaked out a little the first time I saw Pokerus, too.
I remember the first time I saw Pokérus.
Once upon a time, I traded a graveler from my Pokémon Ruby to my brother's Pokémon Sapphire. Then I saw it evolved and I wanted it back.
My Brother told me I could only have it if I restarted the game and traded him a Treecko. Stupidly, I agreed.
I got my Golem, which not only ignored me in battle, but also had Pokérus. I thought the two things were linked.

Twitch plays Pokémon.
All viewers control the game through commands entered in chat. But no one selects them, the commands are directly taked from the chat to the game automatically! The result is absolute chaos XD
They've been at it for almost 4 days straight and are currently trying to get to the rock tunnel^^

Ha, that stinks. Those sorts of associations are so hard to beat out of yourself. It took me a while to realize Venomoth wasn't a Psychic, even though it knew lots of Psychic moves. I remember getting confused that Venomoth was taking super effective damage from my brother's Mewtwo, while I wasn't doing very effective damage against it.

I saw a topic about this on GameFAQs and saw a few gifs... pretty funny stuff. I'm impressed he's made it even that far.

It really is impressive! But on the other hand... It's been 5 hours and they are still in the rock tunnel XD

Edit: They just made it to Lavender Town!

I saw yesterday and they were on the ledge of hell and today I come back and they got through the stupid tunnel with flash and beat surge and are in celadon? Wow. Then I watched for 20 minutes as they tried to cut the tree to get to Erika and gave up watching. I'llcheck back some other time.

It's addictive watching, but... I have things that need doing =(

They are actually inside the gym now! XD But what impresses me the most is that they manage to get Pokémon evolves without some asshole giving the command to press B :p Last time I watched they still had a level 38 Pidgeotto but it actually evolved now.

Mega Lucario was banned by Smogon. N-not that I care. -Sob-

I need that thing to deal with Mega Kangaskhan, so I'm gonna keep using it.

Y'know, I followed Smogon's rules in Gen V because an organised battle was the best way to have a good match. I know it's been said before, but now with the improved battle spot and passerby battles, I'm just gonna put down Smogon's rules and stick with Nintendo's 'no legendary' rule. I don't need Smogon stuff to have a fun time with strangers now!
Probably.

Well that blows. What reason did they give for it?

Twitchplayspokemon just looked at Ivysaur in the Pokédex over and over again, probably for comfort :c And now they are struggling to get away from the PC again XD
Before that they were in the fighting gym. I am completely amazed that they managed to get this far! But I am pretty sure that things are gonna come to a stop when they reach the puzzles that need more accuracy. Victory road is gonna kill them :p

Edit: NOOOOO! They just released a bunch of Pokémans by accident! X'D They released Charmeleon and Jay Leno :c
At least they still have Pidgeot... If they had released it the whole thing would have been over. It's their only (somewhat) competent Pokémon.

Lucario's naturally (somewhat) fast and has great mixed physical/special Attacks to begin with. Combined with automatically learning Swords Dance / Nasty Plot to seriously boost either one, has access to priority moves (ExtremeSpeed and Bullet Punch), Mega form grants it even stronger attack power plus Adaptability (which boosts Fighting-type moves by 33% compared to normal). Seriously, what's not to love about getting your whole team swept by a single Lucario?

I know, but flat out banning it does strike me as odd. That's like saying there is nothing to counter it with.
