MetaMons competitive notes
Gallade is a psychic/fighting-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Attack — at 518 BST it is a strong total for competitive play, with above-average speed (base 80) and a physical attacking profile. Its Steadfast 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 Gallade. Build around what Gallade 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.
