Frosmoth
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Frosmoth is a ice/bug-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Special Attack — at 475 BST it is a typical total for competitive play, with mid-pack speed (base 65) and a special attacking profile. Its Shield Dust 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 Frosmoth. Build around what Frosmoth 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.
