Stats & Training
Brionne's spread isn't flashy. Sp. Atk leads, Speed trails, 2 stats clear the bar. Tough to catch and worth 2 Sp. Atk EVs, on a 1.06M XP medium-slow curve.
As if dancing, it artfully dodges the attacks of its enemies. All the while, it’s busy forming a bunch of balloons to overwhelm its foes.
On nights when the sea is calm, Brionne dance with one another to the singing of the Primarina that’s leading them.

Without TMs, Brionne's movepool is bare bones. With them, you get Fairy and Normal coverage and more on top of Hydro Pump and Surf for STAB. The natural kit handles basics, but TMs are doing the real work.

How to Get Brionne in Scarlet & Violet
Brionne Guide
In Scarlet & Violet, Brionne isn't fully evolved, so it's not built for competitive play. You'll want to evolve it into Primarina to unlock its full potential. At 420 BST, it's a stepping stone rather than a team anchor.
Torrent strengthens water moves to inflict 1.5× damage at 1/3 max HP or less. That's the one you want on Brionne. Liquid Voice is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses.
In Scarlet & Violet, Brionne fills the balanced role. It's a special attacker with base 91 Sp. Atk. Base 50 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.
Game Availability
Introduced in Sun & Moon, Brionne has appeared in 4 games across 4 generations. Later debuts mean fewer total appearances, but it's been a consistent presence since its introduction.
