Palafin

Water

Available for SV

Palafin is a Water-type Pokémon (National Dex #964) with a middling stat total of 457. Of the six Nintendo Switch games GenPKM supports, it appears only in Scarlet & Violet, and every copy is generated through the same PKHeX legality engine Pokémon HOME uses on deposit.

Its best stat is HP at 100, which makes it a speed-first support or revenge killer. Attack and Special Attack sit close together, so it can run either a physical or a special set depending on what your team needs. When you order one here you pick the nature, EV spread, IVs and Tera type yourself, so you can build the exact spread the set calls for rather than breeding for it.

Defensively, Palafin takes super-effective damage from Electric, Grass. It resists Fire, Water, Ice, Steel. Its ability options are Zero to Hero.

Palafin evolves into Finizen (38). You can order any stage directly rather than raising it — useful when you want the final evolution at a specific level, or the pre-evolution with an egg move it can only learn early.

In-game, Palafin has 39 recorded encounter locations across Scarlet & Violet (39) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. A shiny Palafin ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
