I thought Legends couldn't Evolve?

A sudden transformation of Carbink, its pink, glimmering body is said to be the loveliest sight in the whole world.

I thought Carbink couldn’t evolve?

A transformation of Carbink into Diance is still technically evolving right?

I’m just curious to why the Pokedex says that.

That Pokedex entry is likely referring more to a Darwinian evolution, rather than a typical Pokemon evolution. The idea is that, a very very long time from now, environmental factors may cause Diancie to become more common, and eventually it may become a regular Pokemon rather than a legendary or mythic.

A similar question has been asked about the relationship between Carbink and Diancie. But, they do not evolve into each other, it is simply a theory.

Diancie is born from Carbink that undergoes a mutation. It can instantly create diamonds by compressing the carbon in the air; these diamonds can then be used to defend itself. This theory suggest that they are related to each other, but do not have an evolutionary connection in any certain way. The use of transformation is to give an idea - seeing that they are bothThe Jewel Pokemon.

So, just like other legendaries - but in this case, mythicals - they do not evolve.
