>>40222660I really love Carbink. I know Diancie is a statistically better Carbink, but the little diamond bunny has really grown on me. I was trying to get back into Pokemon when Y dropped. I played it, beat the game, and was running some experiments for some teams. I decided to run a Trick Room team against my friends at the time. Carbink jumped out at me as a great setter because of the defenses and shit, and the little guy was so fun just coming in, setting up and exploding. As I used him more, the more I learned about him, and thus the more attached I got. I learned of his rivalry with Sableye, who was another one of my favorite, then it was revealed its connection to Diancie, which made it even cooler. Keep in mind Diancie wasn't out yet when I was setting up my team, so I was there for the reveal. But still, this little armless hunk of rock is my boy, and I can't imagine running a team without him.
