Card 193Twilight Masquerade #193 Pokémon Card

Palafin is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IX of the Pokémon universe, evolving from Finizen. This heroic dolphin-like creature is known for its unique ability to transform into a more powerful form, Zero to Hero, when it switches out of battle and then returns. This transformation is not just cosmetic; it significantly boosts Palafin’s stats, making it a formidable force in combat. In its base form, Palafin resembles a regular dolphin, but upon transformation, it gains a more muscular and upright stance, embodying its heroic spirit. Its habitat is primarily the vast oceans of the Paldea region, where it swims alongside pods of Finizen. Palafin is often depicted as a protector of the seas, using its strength to aid those in need. In the games, its signature ability and powerful stats make it a popular choice for trainers seeking a Water-type powerhouse. The anime often showcases its altruistic nature and impressive strength, solidifying its role as a beloved hero Pokémon.
