Binacle
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Binacle is a rock/water-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Defense — at 306 BST it is a low total for competitive play, with slow (base 50) and a mixed attacking profile. Its Tough Claws 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 Binacle. Build around what Binacle 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.
