MetaMons competitive notes
Cherrim is a grass-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Special Attack — at 450 BST it is a typical total for competitive play, with above-average speed (base 85) and a special attacking profile. Its Flower Gift 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 Cherrim. Build around what Cherrim 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.
