While the competitive side of Pokemon has exponentially grown over the past few years, so has the quality of new pocket monsters introduced with every game when it comes to their battle prowess, to the point that several Pokemon Scarlet and Violet critters are some of the best ever made. Creatures like Gholdengo, Flutter Mane, Ogerpon, Kingambit, and Dondozo each reigned supreme in VGC competitions for some time, often winning tournaments due to how strong they are and how borderline-perfect their stat distribution is. For these reasons, one might end up sleeping on a Pokemon with far lower stats and a meme-adjacent origin, such as Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Farigiraf, although it may be a big mistake.
