    I must inform you that there were quite a few important events that were not covered here. In gen 7 2018 Primarina did have a notable placement in making it all the way to top 8 of Japan Nationals on Ichigi Masayoshi's team with perish song. Then in gen 8 Primarina saw one other notable usage in the only series 13 irl regional in Taiwan where mythicals were legal. On that team not only was it Alola Pokemon with the restricteds Lunala and Necrozma but it managed to get all the way to top 8 thanks to the player Liu Jian-ting.

Making subscribing to the patreon more of a “win more” instead of “punishing” those who don’t have the disposable income.

    Psychic Noise may just be the first time I've ever considered Liquid Voice useful. Because while Water-type Hyper Voice is cool, the ability doesn't actually boost damage like say, Aerilate or Pixilate. Sound moves only become stronger because of STAB.
    Now as for VGC, it's probably more useful to give Primarina a spread STAB move, but I've never actually competed in VGC, so I can't say for sure.

    • @teddyhaines6613
      @teddyhaines6613 Місяць тому +7

      VGC is a place where Fairy-types always use Dazzling Gleam in place of Moonblast (or alongside in the case of Flutter Mane), so the spread move is definitely a selling point. But even in singles, sound moves have the additional advantage of ignoring substitutes, so there's some potential utility there.

    When Gen 7 starters were first shown, I was always team Popplio. Loved the design. Loved its positive aesthetic. Then I saw Primarina and I thought it looked so strong. I kept saying “this is gonna be the best of the 3 alola starters, just you wait.” Turns out I was right. Love it in ladder play. Love it in draft league. Just an amazing Pokémon that has aged so well. In an era where mons are getting nerfed left and right, Primarina bucks the trend. Truly one of the best Pokémon to come out of Gen 7 and one of my favorites to use. Hell, I used it in both Sun AND Ultra Sun I enjoyed it so much. Cannot overstate how much fun I have using Primarina.
