Diancie and Carbink are intrinsically linked in Pokémon lore, which Diancie is not an evolution of Carbink, they are considered related. Both are known as the Jewel Pokémon, and currently Diancie is the only known Mythical Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution. In Pokémon X Diancie’s Pokedéx entry states that Diancie is:
‘A sudden transformation of Carbink, its pink, glimmering body is said to be the loveliest sight in the whole world.’
