Blacephalon
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Blacephalon is a fire/ghost-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Special Attack — at 570 BST it is a strong total for competitive play, with above-average speed (base 107) and a special attacking profile. Its Beast Boost 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 Blacephalon. Build around what Blacephalon 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.
