— Thorn Seed Pokémon
Ferroseed
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Ferroseed is a grass/steel-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Defense — at 305 BST it is a low total for competitive play, with slow (base 10) and a physical attacking profile. Its Iron Barbs 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 Ferroseed. Build around what Ferroseed 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.
