— Old Shrimp Pokémon
Anorith
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Anorith is a rock/bug-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Attack — at 355 BST it is a low total for competitive play, with mid-pack speed (base 75) and a physical attacking profile. Its Battle Armor 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 Anorith. Build around what Anorith 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.
Damage multipliers when attacked by each type
A MetaMons teambuilding read based on base stats and typing
Anorith takes super-effective damage from Water, Rock, Steel moves — every one of those types is a check you need an answer for when drafting. Before locking Anorith into a team, check the weakness guide and count how many of those types your remaining five slots can answer.
- Highest stat
- Attack (95)
- Lowest stat
- Special Attack (40)
- Offensive lean
- physical
- Speed tier
- mid-pack speed (base 75)
- BST
- 355 (low for the format)

Compare this profile against your roster's shared weaknesses in the MetaMons team builder, where the 18-type coverage heatmap reads the whole team, not one slot.
