— Paradox Pokémon
Flutter Mane
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Flutter Mane is a ghost/fairy-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Special Attack — at 570 BST it is a strong total for competitive play, with top speed tier (base 135) and a special attacking profile. Its Protosynthesis 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 Flutter Mane. Build around what Flutter Mane 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.
Reviewed competitive profile
Reviewed by Metamons Team
Flutter Mane's value in doubles comes from immediate Ghost/Fairy pressure and a Speed tier that forces opponents to respect it during positioning. Its poor physical resilience means it needs redirection, Intimidate support, Focus Sash, or careful Protect timing rather than being switched into attacks casually.
VGC 2025 Regulation J archive: Flutter Mane is not a Gen 9 OU Pokémon. This profile is an archived Regulation J doubles reference; verify the active Play! Pokémon regulation before tournament use.
Dual STAB threatens broad neutral damage and pressures common Dragon-, Fighting-, Psychic-, and Ghost-types.
Icy Wind variants trade some damage for team-wide positioning support, allowing Flutter Mane's partner to move first on the following action.

EV approach
Start with Speed and Special Attack, then use only verified defensive benchmarks for bulk adjustments. Regulation, partner, and opposing speed-control assumptions materially change the spread.
Moves and jobs
Moonblast
Reliable Fairy STAB for focused damage.
Shadow Ball
Ghost STAB that complements Moonblast coverage.
Icy Wind
Reduces both opponents' Speed and supports a partner.
Protect
Preserves Flutter Mane through double targets and field changes.
Position Flutter Mane next to support that discourages physical priority or redirects attacks. In doubles, Protect is an information and tempo tool: use it to scout a double target, wait out opposing speed control, or let a partner remove the immediate threat. Do not import this archived set into current tournament play without checking the active regulation and legal Pokédex.
Checks to plan for
- Kingambit — applies Steel pressure and threatens priority sequences.
- Incineroar — disrupts positioning with Fake Out and pivot support.
- Rillaboom — creates physical priority pressure after positioning support.
Partners that solve a job
- Incineroar — reduces physical damage and supplies Fake Out positioning.
- Amoonguss — redirects attacks and creates free attacking turns.
- Tornadus — provides Tailwind and complementary utility.
- Presenting an archived Regulation J set as current tournament legality.
- Ignoring physical priority because Flutter Mane is fast.
- Dropping Protect without a clear plan for double targets.
