I'm really loving Diancie as a whole, it looks adorable and Rock/Fairy is an awesome type combination. Definitely up there with my favorite legendary Pokémon. n_n

Carbink says hi.

Anyway, I like Diancie's design, and its signature move, Diamond Storm, looks interesting, tbh.

Diancie was my fave of the hidden legendaries so glad to hear it's now official, the official art looks really adorable!

As cool as the thing's design is, I don't think it's worthy of being a legendary. It just comes off as another basic Pokémon for me. Not that I think it's bad, just not big stuff material.

I'll have to find out more about it before I seriously judge it, however.

I really hope I don't have to buy a movie ticket to get this Legendary. I'm excited about this news though! Can't wait to have a fancy Fairy/Rock type that isn't Carbink (ew).

Distribution for it is most likely going to be just a free handout. Not too interested in the three event legends this go round. We probably won't be seeing her until like a month after Japan.

I'm glad Diancie has been released at this point. Maybe it's a little early, but pretty much everyone knew it was hidden in the game anyway. To be honest fairy / rock is a really cool typing ! (Carbink is awesome). But I'm not really fond of it's design. It doesn't look that interesting / legendary to me. However that's just opinion. Maybe it will grow on me a bit more when the movie comes out. Hoping it will be released as an event !

I like its design, up until they decided to attach a big rock to its bottom.

I wonder how it fares in battle....

Ohhh yes finally! I really love her design minus the lower half because.. bottom rock what. Just looks funny, haha. It's adorable and my favorite of the three leaked legends so I'm happy that it's being rolled out sooner. :)

I think Diancie has something to do with MegaEvolution...seeing how it's crystals resemble those of the sundial which is linked to the Megastones somehow. Plus MegaEvolution seems to be involved in the new movie. If so that'll warrant Diancie being a legend imo :).

I really hope its leaked stats are a little off, and it packs more defenses. Those iron heads and flash canons taking out a legendary with one hit really would frustrate me considering I like diancie almost as much as volcanion, and the only reason I like volcanion even half as much as diancie is because when I was a kid playing red and yellow and silver and gold I used to wish for a fire/water pkmn

Idk man the estimations seem to be spot on especially if it's linked to Carbink iirc it's:
HP:50
Atk:100
Def:150
Sp.Atk:100
Sp.Def:150
Spd:50

Ugh I hate it when defensive pokemon have low HP!

I think it look so cute :)
I also think that Diancie has something to do with Anistar City's Sundial as I explained in this Thread below:

Since Diancie's officially confirmed, I'm guessing the other two legends have pretty much confirmed as well? Anyway, I really love Diancie. It does look a bit intimidating due to its color scheme and all, but it also looks pretty cute. Can't wait to figure out what its actual stats are, if they haven't been found out yet. :p

Unfortunately its not !!!
Aside from their obvious typing similarities (and as I've read on this thread, patterned stats), they huge rock on its bottom, having fluff right above that rock, and having ears... there is waaaay too many similarities between Diancie and Carbink. I think it's likely that this will be a Manaphy-Phione relationship (except executed better, without any controversies of the common underling being legendary, having the underling build hype and speculation towards its ancestor, and having more distinct designs.)

Like Gogoat Rocks said, it's likely related to the Anistar Sun Dial, a very important plot piece and central for mega evolution. I think its worthy of being a legendary by being this connected to what we already know about Kalos, not too different from how Celebi fit in with Johto's Ilex Forest Shrine despite not being explicitly mentioned in the plot. Also it fulfills the cute requirement for a legendary. :P

Has anything been hinted about how it will be distributed? [s] I remember their being some random stone Tierno gives you in story mode[s] Nevermind just googled it, apparently you can cash it in for a sun stone. Nonetheless, I think it'll be a bit like Shaymin, who we learned after getting Oak's letter had a special area in Sinnoh dedicated to where you find it... given that Kalos already has the scenery of the Sun Dial stone, I can't imagine Gamefreak passing up the opportunity to have it appear there with an overlooking sunset.

I'm usually pretty pessimistic about getting events at the same time as Japan, and so I say without optimistic delusion that I really think that Diancie will be announced* and revealed, as I may be roughly at the same time worldwide. Why? Because the online communications for the games are connected globally... could you imagine running across a Diancie in a Free Battle and having absolutely no clue who it is? Gamefreak would not make the mistake of allowing other fans to spoil the existence of a pokemon through the means of their very own game's communication features.

*I'm going out on a limb to guess that Diancie will be announced worldwide within the next few days. If I'm wrong, a theory of mine will be shut down in record time.

This isn't very exciting but I was able to Translate Diancie's Japanese name: Diasotsu
Google translate can really help sometimes :P

A little bit more info on Diancie has been revealed:

http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/CoroCoro_unveils_new_information_about_Diancie

Thing's quite small. And it seems they're cramming a lot into the next movie, since it has Yveltal, Xerneas, Mega Evolutions, and Diancie.

Pretty similar height and weight to Carbink (a little bigger). If they're not directly related I will be very disappointed.

Guessing that you take a carbink to the anistar sun dial and with a special item, it changes form.

It doesn't say its an evolution and said that carb ink gather to diamcie... I'm thinking reflection cave event since that is the only place to catch car ink ( fingers s crossed for map expansion though )
Its shiny is also revealed. Check serebiis first page

Sound like an Evolution to me !
What is a Evolution anyway ???
I wonder if Diancle is like Dragonite Or Lucario ! Those Pokemon are so rare and Mystical that they look like Legendary Pokemon But there are not.
But I prefer it this way because then it will be catchable in Anime .

Nah its legendary, just " event " legend. Sudden transformation would probably mean that a carbink just turned into it one day. I'm guessing, its non evolutionary and non reversible, unlike keldeo where it can change back to its form by move or giratina by Griseous orb. I'm thinking that's why they didn't use the word evolution but it still has its own place in the dex unlike pokemon with other forms. I'm thinking that it's relation to carbink is just flavor and back story and you won't be able to actually evolve a carbink or change one via item or move...
I could be wrong but I doubt they would make an event legendary accessible from a pokemon that you can breed.
Edit: & while you can breed manaphy, you can never get a manaphy from a pione. Would be cool if diancie could breed out car inks, or breed at all, to me expansion of the egg move catalog is more than welcome

So since the poked entry says that Dianci was created from a Carbink by a strange mutation (or however it was worded) has anyone tried anything with this? Does anyone have a Shiny Carbink? Have they put it in their party with a bunch of other Carbinks? Scrolled through the stones to see if any of them will interact with the shiny Carbink instead of the normal ones? Perhaps it needs other carbines around for the main one to evolve? Perhaps it needs to be a female? Female shiny?

Obviously these are all WILD speculations, but if someone had a shiny Carbink, it wouldn't hurt to check some things out, right? At worst, it will kill some time. :D
