Diancie

Diancie (Japanese: ディアンシー, Hepburn: Dianshii) (die-AHN-see^[1]) is a Rock/Fairy-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.

Biology[]

Physiology[]

Diancie is a distinctly feminine fairy-like Mythical Pokémon with a gray rocky body embedded with bright pink crystals and gemstones. Diancie is the result of a mutated Carbink. Diancie wears a white cloak-like garment with long white sleeves from which its tiny gray hands protrude. Diancie has a golden collar around its neck, a pink diamond on its chest, and a crown-like headdress of pink gems upon its head. In the center of its forehead, it bears a large round, cut diamond that is bright pink in color. It has bright red eyes and small pointed ears. The bottom of its body is composed of a large chunk of rock with a pink crystal embedded in its side.

Diancie possesses a Mega Evolution. Mega Diancie wears a much longer white cloak; attached to its cloak are long white streamer-like ribbons with small pink diamonds dangling from the ends. Mega Diancie's crystal headdress becomes distinctly larger and more extravagant, and the large diamond atop its head changes its shape from round to slightly heart-shaped. The underside of Mega Diancie's body resembles a great crystal chandelier, composed of many large pink diamond crystals. It has small golden feet, and golden rings around its neck and waist. Its long thin gray arms can be seen, as it no longer has sleeves on its garments.

Behavior[]

It is believed to rule over an entire underground kingdom of jewels called the Diamond Domain, served by loyal Carbink. Diancie oversees the legendary Diamond Domain and makes sure that it always remains hidden from those who intended to loot it or steal from it. It also is in charge of creating the Heart Diamond, a mystical gemstone that, according to legend, is the sole source of energy that allows the Diamond Domain to continue to exist.

Natural abilities[]

Diancie is able to create diamonds by compressing the carbon in the atmosphere between its hands. It is the only Pokémon able to learn the move, Diamond Storm.

Trivia[]

• Diancie is the only Generation VI Pokémon that has a Mega Evolution.
  • It is also the only Mythical Pokémon to have Mega Evolution too.
• Diancie and Carbink share the same learnset with only one difference; Carbink learns Power Gem at level 46, whereas Diancie learns Trick Room.
  • In Generation VII, Diancie can learn Power Gem at level 40.
• Diancie is often mistaken as Carbink's evolution. However, it is actually a mutation of Carbink.
• Diancie and Carbink have the exact same HP, Defense, Special Defense, and Speed stats, both having 50 HP, 150 Defense, 50 Speed, and 150 Special Defense.
• Despite being genderless, the Pokémon website says it could be either gender. This is likely an error.
• Due to the alterations made to its stats after Mega Evolving, it is possible for Diancie to have less HP than all of its other stats, assuming all 6 stats have max IVs and a neutral Nature.
  • With the obvious exception of Shedinja, who always has 1 HP, it is the only Pokémon with this distinction.
• Diancie and Carbink both tie for the highest Defence of all Fairy-type Pokémon (150), while Mega Diancie has the highest Special Attack of all Rock-type Pokémon (160).

Origin[]

Diancie is based on a carbuncle, a fairy with a jewel on its forehead. Its design could be a pun on a "princess cut" diamond.

Etymology[]

Diancie comes from diamond and fairy or fancy.
