Espurr
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Espurr is a psychic-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Speed — at 355 BST it is a low total for competitive play, with mid-pack speed (base 68) and a mixed attacking profile. Its Keen Eye 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 Espurr. Build around what Espurr 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.
