Carnivine
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Carnivine is a grass-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Attack — at 454 BST it is a typical total for competitive play, with slow (base 46) and a mixed attacking profile. Its Levitate 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 Carnivine. Build around what Carnivine 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.
