Pokémon pros are running Palafin and 3 other Pokémon to crush the competition in a major Scarlet and Violet tournament

With day one of the European International Championships in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet officially underway, the usage stats of the most popular Pokémon have been released.

To no one’s surprise, Flutter Mane reigns in the No. 1 spot. But interestingly enough, Amoonguss, Arcanine, and Palafin follow soon after, with the top four most popular Pokémon coincidentally being a part of the FAAP core—also called PAAF occasionally—that has grown to be the face of the balanced team archetype.
