Carbink (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Carbink is created from high temperatures and pressures underground and is occasionally found during cave excavations. It is known to compare its hard body with those of {{p|Geodude}} and {{p|Roggenrola}}. Following birth, it can sleep for millions of years. It is preyed upon by {{p|Sableye}}, and {{p|Gabite}} also likes to capture it. Carbink defends itself by shooting high-energy beams from the gem on its head. Rarely, Carbink will undergo a strange mutation and transform into {{p|Diancie}}. It is said that a pack of Carbink lives deep underground with their queen in a jeweled kingdom. Carbink can be found on occasion during the excavation of caves.
