-In its Zero Form, Palafin is a light blue {{wp|cetacean}} Pokémon with the exact same physical appearance as its pre-evolution {{p|Finizen}}, except for a pink heart-shaped marking on its chest, surrounded by a larger white heart-shaped marking. Like Finizen, it has a pale bluish white coloration on its underbelly that extends to its lower jaw and eyes, as well as on its dorsal fin. Its eyes have two-tone blue and pink pupils, and it has a short snout, as well as a single blowhole atop its head. On the sides of its body are pale bluish white wave patterns. It has a pair of pectoral fins and a split tailfin, with a ring of water surrounding the base of its tail.
+Palafin is a blue {{wp|cetacean}} Pokémon that can change between two markedly different forms in battle. It is known as the "Pelagic Protector". When it hears its allies calling for help, Palafin will {{a|Zero to Hero|change its appearance and power itself up}} — a process which awakens its ancient genes and is always done in secret.
-Palafin is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Jet Punch}}.
+Palafin is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Jet Punch}}. It is also the [[signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Zero to Hero}} as an [[Ability]].
 ===Forms===
 Palafin has two forms: Zero Form and Hero Form.
-In its Hero Form, Palafin's physiology drastically changes, gaining considerable muscle mass and becoming able to stand on its tail fins. Its body is primarily dark blue with white colorations on its lower jaw, belly, sides, dorsal fin, and the bottom of its tail fins. The heart-shaped marking on its chest grows larger to resemble a shield and a cetacean's tail fin. Parts of its body are covered with water, forming gloves, a cape or cowl, and three tail rings. Its eyes are also covered with water, evoking a mask.
+In its Zero Form, Palafin is remarkably similar to {{p|Finizen}}, its pre-evolved form, except for one single detail: a light pink heart-shaped marking on its chest, outlined by a slightly larger white heart-shaped marking. Its body is mostly light blue. Its underbelly and the underside of its fins are a pale shade of blue, which extends further to its lower jaw and around its eyes. The tip of its dorsal fin and the wave patterns on the side of its body are white. Its eyes have two-tone blue and pink irises. It has a short snout, a single blowhole atop its head, a pair of pectoral fins, and a split tailfin, with a water ring surrounding the base of the tail.
-Palafin is known as the "Pelagic Protector". When it hears its allies calling for help, Palafin will change its appearance from its Zero Form to its Hero Form via its [[signature Ability]], {{a|Zero to Hero}}. This transformation awakens its ancient genes, and is done in secret. Palafin is at full power when in the Hero Form, being strong enough to lift a cruise ship with just one fin and swimming at speeds of 50 knots. It is known to save drowning people and Pokémon. As seen in [[HZ042]], Hero Form Palafin is able of stretching and contracting its water rings at will, as well of shooting them off its body. By releasing water from its blowhole, it can jump very high and fly through the air. The water lenses confer enhanced vision to Hero Form Palafin, which is also capable of {{m|Jet Punch|firing off its gloves like jets of water}}. The heart-shaped symbol on its chest glows pink as Hero Form Palafin takes on the people's cheers. That same episode also revealed its chest is its weak point.
+In its Hero Form, Palafin's physiology drastically changes, gaining considerable muscle mass to the point of becoming able to stand on its tailfin. Its body is now primarily indigo, with its sides, lower jaw, dorsal fin, and bottom of tailfin in a pale shade of blue. The marking on its chest is considerably deeper in color and bigger, covering most of its chest and abdomen, and resembles both a shield and a cetacean's tailfin. Parts of its body are covered with water, forming gloves, a cape or cowl, and three tail rings. Its eyes are also covered with water lenses, evoking a mask.
+While in its Zero Form, Palafin is said to be equal to Finizen in terms of physical capabilities. Once it transforms into its Hero Form, however, Palafin reaches its full power, being strong enough to lift a cruise ship with just one fin and swimming at speeds of 50 knots. It is known to save drowning people and Pokémon. As seen in [[HZ042]], Hero Form Palafin is able of stretching and contracting its water rings at will, as well of shooting them off its body. By releasing water from its blowhole, it can jump very high and fly through the air. The water lenses confer enhanced vision to Palafin, which is also capable of {{m|Jet Punch|firing off its gloves like jets of water}}. The vaguely heart-shaped symbol on its chest glows pink as Hero Form Palafin takes on the people's cheers. That same episode also revealed its chest is its weak point.
