Card 117

Carbink, the Jewel Pokémon, is a fascinating Rock/Fairy-type creature first introduced in Generation VI. This unique combination of types grants it resistances to several common attacking types while also making it vulnerable to others. Carbink are known to live deep within caves and are born from the high temperatures and pressures found underground, naturally forming with sparkling gems embedded in their bodies. They are often found in large groups, protecting their territory and occasionally allowing other Pokémon to live among them. Carbink are also notable for their connection to the mythical Pokémon Diancie, as it is believed that Diancie can be born from a mutation of a Carbink. In the games, Carbink often serve as early-game defensive Pokémon due to their high defensive stats. In the anime, they have been featured in various roles, including as guardians of ancient ruins and as companions to trainers. Their role in the Pokémon world underscores themes of natural beauty, geological formation, and the hidden wonders beneath the earth's surface, contributing to their endearing cultural significance among fans.
