Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Arctovish is a water/ice-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Defense — at 505 BST it is a strong total for competitive play, with slow (base 55) and a mixed attacking profile. Its Water Absorb 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 Arctovish. Build around what Arctovish 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.
