Arboliva
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Arboliva is a grass/normal-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Special Attack — at 510 BST it is a strong total for competitive play, with slow (base 39) and a special attacking profile. Its Seed Sower 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 Arboliva. Build around what Arboliva 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.
