Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Carracosta is a water/rock-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Defense — at 495 BST it is a typical total for competitive play, with slow (base 32) and a physical attacking profile. Its Solid Rock 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 Carracosta. Build around what Carracosta 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.
