Deerling
MetaMons competitive notes
Deerling is a normal/grass-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Speed — at 335 BST it is a low total for competitive play, with mid-pack speed (base 75) and a physical attacking profile. Its Chlorophyll 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 Deerling. Build around what Deerling 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.
