'''Merrick''' (Japanese: '''マジマ''' ''Majima'') first appeared in ''[[SS030|Diancie — Princess of the Diamond Domain]]''. It is noticeably smaller than the other Carbink. It appears to have a higher position than the other Carbink, as it was shown to give commands to Bort and Allotrope.

Although Merrick debuted in ''[[SS030|Diancie — Princess of the Diamond Domain]]'', it made its first chronological appearance in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''. Merrick, along with Bort and Allotrope, were chasing Diancie around in the Diamond Domain. After finding her, it mentioned that it was not the time to be playing games and accidentally tripped on a pile of diamonds. When Merrick was about to tell her the news, Dace stepped in instead.

Later, in ''Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction'', Merrick, Bort, and Allotrope found Diancie in a shopping mall in [[Orsay City]]. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, assuming that the Carbink are bad, try to rescue Diancie. Ash got on a ladder from {{an|Clemont}}'s Clemontic Gear and grabbed Diancie while gliding on his {{AP|Hawlucha}}. During [[Riot]]'s battle with Ash, Clemont, and {{an|Serena}} in a forest. Merrick jumped in front of Riot's {{p|Greninja}}'s {{m|Water Shuriken}} when it was about to harm Diancie. As a result, it injured Merrick temporarily. Before Riot continued, the arrival of Millis and [[Merilyn]] interrupted him, giving Merrick and the others a chance to escape.

In ''[[SS030|Diancie — Princess of the Diamond Domain]]'', Bort appeared carrying food for Diancie to a house where she was staying. Once inside, it, Merrick, and Allotrope were shocked to see their princess was gone. From the balcony they were just able to catch a glimpse of Diancie heading to the forest. Merrick decided to follow her and ordered Bort and Allotrope to come with it. On their way they were attacked by a group of {{p|Ariados}}. They were able to escape them however and quickly hurried to Diancie. They found her trying to help a {{p|Pangoro}} stuck in a hollow tree. They helped in getting it free by stomping down on the tree. Right at that moment the Ariados from earlier arrived at the scene and threatened to attack Diancie and the Carbink. The Carbink vowed to protect Diancie no matter what, but then the Pangoro they helped stood up and drove the Ariados off. Later, the Carbink and Diancie set off in the sunset, unaware they were being spied on by [[Millis Steel]].

Later, when Merrick was about to tell Diancie something, Dace stepped in instead. Dace told Diancie about the Heart Diamond losing its powers. Diancie didn't believe Dace at first and accused it of exaggerating but Dace convinced her to take it seriously. Dace recommended Diancie to see Xerneas after her powers of creating a Heart Diamond failed.

The Carbink servants are considered to be {{an|Diancie}}'s bodyguards as they raised her when she was young. Out of the four Carbink, Dace was considered to be the most serious.

Dace is shown to be quite knowledgeable, especially about the Allearth Forest as well as the powers of Xerneas and Yveltal. It used this knowledge to advise Ash, his friends, and Diancie while they were in the Allearth Forest. It is shown to have given Diancie the objective to find Xerneas and its Fairy Aura. However, it is quite serious and was rather annoyed with Diancie when she took it lightly. It also was annoyed when Diancie replied to it with "okie-dokie!", telling her that a simple yes was good enough. Like Diancie and Merrick, Dace can speak via telepathy.
