In-Depth Analysis
Palafin totals 650 across its base stats, profiling as a fast attacker that leans on outspeeding threats and hitting hard. Lean on its Attack (160) when planning sets, and cover for its weaker Special Defense (87).
Its Water typing leaves Palafin with 2 weaknesses against 4 resistances. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 3 types for super-effective damage.
A low catch rate of 45 makes Palafin a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants HP +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
