Pokémon Sun and Moon was released on November 18th, 2016.[1] Competitive players immediately noticed that Primarina's high Special Attack and Special Defense stats made it a "special wall or tank" Pokémon.[2] In the following year, Primarina became the subject of thousands of pieces of fan art. On DeviantArt, there are over 7,500 entries under the "Primarina" tag.[3] There are also hundreds of pieces of fan art on Tumblr. [4]
