Palafin

Palafin-Hero is the team's win condition, built for endurance over burst. Adamant nature maximizes Attack output after the Zero to Hero transformation triggered by a partner's U-turn or Parting Shot. The 32 HP, 13 Def, and 17 SpD SPs combined with Leftovers make it extremely difficult to remove in a single exchange. Bulk Up stacks Attack and Defense simultaneously, compounding the threat over multiple turns. Drain Punch heals HP to sustain through long end-games. Jet Punch provides priority coverage to pick off faster threats. Protect buys a Leftovers recovery turn and scouts opponent responses.
