Brambleghast
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Brambleghast is a grass/ghost-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Attack — at 480 BST it is a typical total for competitive play, with above-average speed (base 90) and a physical attacking profile. Its Wind Rider 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 Brambleghast. Build around what Brambleghast 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.
