Ambipom
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Ambipom is a normal-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Speed — at 482 BST it is a typical total for competitive play, with top speed tier (base 115) and a physical attacking profile. Its Technician 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 Ambipom. Build around what Ambipom 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.
