>Starts off as one of the most reviled Final Stages of all time all over the Internet

>Somehow managed to get into the Top 10 of Galar Pokemon World Wide

>Became the most Popular Galar Starter in it's Home Country

>Also managed to beat out it's own Pre-Evo in Popularity (A rare feat for Water Starters and something even Decidueye couldn't do)

>Will (allegedly) make it's debut in the Coco movie

Jesus Christ I've never seen a pokemon go from the bottom to popular in such a short amount of time. Not to mention it managed to do all of that without even having shillmon status

What went right for it?
