Overview |
Carbink live deep beneath the surface; sometimes, they can even be found lying dormant in solid rock, having been encased through the earth’s slow geological processes. These creatures are believed to be hundreds of millions of years old, or possibly even as ancient as the earth itself. They are rarely seen in the open because of their seclusion and are rumored to have been born out of the immense heat and pressure of the underground (though they are not very rare in caves). Intense pressure has made them incredibly hard; some of the carbon within their bodies has even been compressed into diamond as a result. They can fire beams of energy from their gems. Carbink are most commonly seen above-ground when accidentally uncovered during construction projects or cave excavations, having been lying dormant. They are popular Pokémon for their beautiful gemstones, which are usually spotless; groups of them will rub their soft manes on one another to polish each other's gems. Carbink have a mysterious relationship with the mythical Pokémon Diancie (said to be a mutated Carbink itself), and are said to serve under its rule.
