MetaMons competitive notes
Avalugg is a ice-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Defense — at 514 BST it is a strong total for competitive play, with slow (base 28) and a physical attacking profile. Its Own Tempo 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 Avalugg. Build around what Avalugg 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.
