Palafin's stats in Pokemon Scarlet and VioletNintendo

Palafin is one of the more unusual creatures introduced in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet. It only evolves from Finizen when you play with friends, so this is great news for trainers who haven’t been able to do that yet.

While Palafin may look almost identical to Finizen, it undergoes a big transformation when you activate its powerful Hero Form, which can be achieved by switching it out of battle and then back into battle.

Palafin’s stat total goes from 457 to a whopping 650 in its Hero Form, so it’s definitely something you’ll want to activate.
