Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Clamperl is a water-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Defense — at 345 BST it is a low total for competitive play, with slow (base 32) and a mixed attacking profile. Its Shell Armor 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 Clamperl. Build around what Clamperl 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.
