  • Fun fact: 126 special attack is the highest attacking or special attacking stat out of any final evolution starter. Hits hard af
  • @ksbloistl
    Decidueye was really left behind with Primarina being in current OU and Incineroar being amazing in VGC, poor owl...
  • It's cool that Primarina finally got a chance to shine in gen 9 OU even in the midst of massive power creep
  • Primarina is really funny because it's basically budget Tapu Fini, but it's REALLY good at being a budget Tapu Fini
  • @joeld.2004
    If hearing that Delphox was somewhat decent competitively made my day, hearing that Primarina (my fav. water starter) made it into OU has made my entire week, maybe even my whole month. Most of my favorite Pokemon aren't too good competitively, so I relish any time that I hear one of them is.
  • I really love Primarina design and the fact it’s STILL our only fairy type starter is surprising.
  • @goldberserk7425
    The popplio line is so underrated, so many people hate on it for literally no reason.
  • @JareBear1
    Imagine if Primorina got Boomburst as a move it could use, then it would give another reason why Liquid Voice could be used
  • @iskander0725
    Decidueye be like, "you guys always act like you're better than me!" As Incineroar and Primarina sit dressed to the nines with full tuxedo, top hats, and monocle.
  • @GamerKru1996
    Primarina is definitely way stronger than the design had me think it was initially. It was the ace of my Ultra Moon team.
  • @EliteWizzerd946
    Wolfe Glick better co-commentate the Incineroar video. lol
  • @Rayne2
    Hope y’all are ready for the inevitable Incineroar blockbuster, or horror film if you’re Wolfey
  • @yuyuvesoralla
    Seeing Primarina just 4x super effective both Rhyperior and Coalossal with a water-ified hyper voice felt satisfying to witness.
  • @jon5509
    Refreshed at the right time apparently
  • 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.
