MetaMons competitive notes
Claydol is a ground/psychic-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Special Defense — at 500 BST it is a strong total for competitive play, with mid-pack speed (base 75) 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 Claydol. Build around what Claydol 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.
