So it happens that every single video about Pirc defense I watch ends up teaching you how to effectively fight against Pirc defense. Does anybody knows any material (videos, books, whatever) that actually shows how to properly play the Pirc defense? From few months I have been playing it almost everytime I play with black pieces just to get used to the different possitions and get familiar with. Now I would like to improve my Pirc as much as possible.
Obviously all those vídeos showing how to play against the Pirc are usefull for a Pirc player. It is just I am missing lessons from the other perspective. Thank you very much in advance.
John Nunn's book The Complete Pirc is what I'd recommend. It may be old, but the majority of lines are still valid and Nunn's explanations are superlative. Pirc Alert! by Alburt and Chernin is another great book on this opening.

@Mario-0 There's a book:
The Perfect Pirc-Modern - New Edition 10 Years Later (Strategic Ideas & Powerful Weapons) by Viktor Moskalenko
You can also check my game history for some inspiration... :D

@derkleineJo ,
@lizani . Thank you very much. I bought a second hand one of "The Complete Pirc" by John Nunn. I will post back again in a few weeks to comment a bit about my impressions on it.

Hahaha. Thanks for the advise. I am not a professional, not even a tournament player. I am just a humble 1200 ELO on Lichess. I do not think this will be harmfull for my inexistent chess future career. :p
content on the sicilian dragon will be pretty relevant, since you're likely to get similar structures
Maybe, look at The Pirc Move by Move by GM Nigel Davies.
