Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Dugtrio is a ground-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Speed — at 425 BST it is a low total for competitive play, with top speed tier (base 120) and a physical attacking profile. Its Sand Veil 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 Dugtrio. Build around what Dugtrio 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.
