In the games, Palafin's Zero to Hero ability allows it to switch forms, significantly boosting its stats, making it a formidable force in battle. In the anime, Palafin often takes on a protective role, showcasing its compassionate nature while also demonstrating its impressive strength. Its design, reminiscent of a superhero, has given it significant cultural significance, symbolizing unexpected strength and the power of transformation. Palafin has a strong type matchup against Fire, Ground, and Rock types, while being weak to Grass and Electric types.
