Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Dondozo is a water-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward HP — at 530 BST it is a strong total for competitive play, with slow (base 35) and a physical attacking profile. Its Unaware 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 Dondozo. Build around what Dondozo 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.
