Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Ampharos is a electric-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Special Attack — at 510 BST it is a strong total for competitive play, with slow (base 55) and a special attacking profile. Its Static 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 Ampharos. Build around what Ampharos 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.
