MetaMons competitive notes
Alakazam is a psychic-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Special Attack — at 500 BST it is a strong total for competitive play, with top speed tier (base 120) and a special attacking profile. Its Synchronize ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Alakazam. Build around what Alakazam actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
