I have a feeling they may have accidentally posted the shiny version on the dex entry picture.

I just saw it, that's what it looks like

gg NoA

Also, its Dex entry says it's a "sudden transformation of Carbink"

Could it have anything to do with its obtaining method or something?

I really hope so, if it has good base stats, that could make it one of the easiest legendaries to get with perfect IVs and nature, provided you can use your own Carbink of course

Indeed.

That would allow me to get a perfect Diancie.

And I would never turn down a perfect Legendary.

To be honest, I don't think doing stuff with a Carbink is going to be how you get Diancie. It's probably going to end up as you get the WiFi event item, take it to somewhere (probably Reflection Cave), and Diancie will appear. At most you possibly might need a Carbink in your team to 'call/summon it.'

The leaked screenshots of Diancie show that it's stats are approximately 75 HP / 75 Atk / 150 Def / 75 SpA / 150 SpD / 75 Spe.

So like a buffed Carbink (+25 to all of HP, Atk, SpA and Spe), with a 600 BST.

Out of curiosity, whatever do

Lysandre and Diantha

do if their mega Pokemon is dragged out before it's their last one (notwithstanding the fact you'd have to at least be equal in level to one of their Pokemon to boot it out)?

Sounds like an interesting pokemon in competitive play. I think it will end up being OU.

I don't see it being OU to be honest, just in terms of its stats. It's very weak to OU's standards, along with being slow. It's possible it could work defensively, as it's typing does provide a lot of useful resistances like Dragon and Flying.

I'd like to point out that a Pokemon with 50 Health Base Stats, 0 HP EVs and perfect IVs has 125 health at level 50.. So that's my official guess for a HP Stat.

The above picture shows that the Attack/Special Attack and Defense/Special Defense stats are also even, and the Speed is pretty low, so I'm thinking a

50HP/100ATK/150DEF/100SP.ATK/150SP.DEF/50SPE spread is about right.

Actually with that above picture someone could calculate the exact stats of this thing due to the implied 0 EVs.

Honestly Carbink biggest flaw that make me stopped using it was offense. I remember going on in gamefaqs back in the pre bank days, about how Carbink is pretty amazing, but it just did not hold up in bank meta.

50 base stats boost is an equivalent to a 40% boost assuming both are running modest 252, so hopefully this might be enough to give it the push it needed

I can't wait for Diancie now

Not to mention it would be a pretty niche pick for Ubers

This doesn't make any sense to me. Isn't evolution also a "sudden transformation"? xP

Also, my poll choices are winning, yay. Especially Crobat, it's killing the competition! Woohoo, go Crobat! :D

Well, that's true.

I'm curious about something. What would happen if Torment was used on a Pokemon holding a Choice item? Would the move fail? Torment makes a Pokemon unable to use the same move twice in a row and a Choice item limits a Pokemon to only one move.
