MetaMons competitive notes

Arceus is a normal-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward HP — at 720 BST it is a legendary-grade total for competitive play, with top speed tier (base 120) and a mixed attacking profile. Its Multitype 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 Arceus. Build around what Arceus 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.
