Longtime Pokemon fans know all about Event Legendary creatures, especially rare Pokemon that can only be obtained through timed events. Going all the way back to Mew in the original games, it’s expected that every game since would have at least a few event legendaries to keep us playing with.
For Pokemon X and Y, Diancie is the first of this type to be officially revealed. A Rock/Fairy type, it has a relationship with the existing Pokemon Carbink. The official site states,
Groups of Carbink tend to gather around Diancie, but Diancie pays them little heed and only acts according to its own will.
Sounds kind of rude. Anyway, Diancie will be tied in to the next Pokemon movie, which is when it will surely be released. Sadly, we have no idea when that will be, but Nintendo promises more details as they dangle Pokemon number 719 in front of us. By the way, 719! I just finished catching all 718. Oh well, the life of a Pokemon Trainer isn’t easy. And as long as it doesn’t take as long as the details for Pokemon Bank to come out, I think we’ll survive.
Check out these screenshots of Diancie in action as well as its reveal trailer and check back with us as details become available.
