Their team across arcs.
Background
Who they are.
Lana is the family fisher of the Sun & Moon cast. Her family runs a charter fishing business out of Konikoni City; she's the eldest sibling responsible for caring for her two younger sisters Sarah and Harper. Picks Popplio at the Pokémon School. Her water-type expertise is showcased early and consistently. Her secondary defining trait: deadpan trolling. Lana invents elaborate ghost stories and pranks delivered with a perfectly flat face, often catching the more emotionally expressive cast members off-guard. By the time you realize she's pranking, she's already moved on.

Legacy
Why this character mattered.
Most underrated SM companion. Her deadpan trolling expanded the comedy register of the cast. Primarina is one of the strongest Alolan starters across the franchise.
