Sorry, guess I read it too quickly. Anyway, from my experiences, PA is needed. I've been going with a modded version with 36, 37, or 40 cards and most versions I use have 2 PA. I feel like it's saved me more than it hurts me. Since most FGs have some type of PC, having an untouchable Pulvy/Perma could make all the difference. I see it sorta like Quint. I know CC is much more prevalent than PC, but when your survival depends on having a Pulvy/Perma on the field, I feel it's necessary.
