Brionne Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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 Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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.
