Barboach
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Barboach is a water/ground-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Speed — at 288 BST it is a low total for competitive play, with mid-pack speed (base 60) and a mixed attacking profile. Its Oblivious 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 Barboach. Build around what Barboach 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.
