Of course, Pokémon, at its core, is a fun game, and having the Pokémon you love the most adventuring alongside you is where the charm of the game lies. The topics I spoke about mainly referred to competitive play where every IV and every single point in the stats count. Suppose you want to do a casual play-through of the game. In that case, Masquerain can be utilized with the strategies mentioned above, and you can have fun pairing it with the rest of your team. I would go as far as to recommend it for Pokemon contests and other fun events. I even took long strolls with my Masquerain because I love its design.
