One of the strongest Pokémon in Scarlet and Violet is finally starting to lose its dominance
From Orlando Regionals to Europe Internationals, the dolphin hero Palafin seemed like the Pokémon to beat at every major Scarlet and Violet tournament.
It even became the leader of the famous “Palafin balance” core with Flutter Mane, Amoonguss, and Arcanine. That core completely dominated EUIC with champion Paul Chua demonstrating just how strong Palafin can be, hero or not. At Portland Regionals, however, the poor dolphin started to show signs of weakness.
