MetaMons competitive notes
Araquanid is a water/bug-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Special Defense — at 454 BST it is a typical total for competitive play, with slow (base 42) and a physical attacking profile. Its Water Bubble 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 Araquanid. Build around what Araquanid 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.
