MetaMons competitive notes
Falinks is a fighting-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Attack — at 470 BST it is a typical total for competitive play, with mid-pack speed (base 75) and a physical attacking profile. Its Battle Armor 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 Falinks. Build around what Falinks 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.
