Galvantula
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Galvantula is a bug/electric-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Speed — at 472 BST it is a typical total for competitive play, with above-average speed (base 108) and a special attacking profile. Its Compound Eyes 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 Galvantula. Build around what Galvantula 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.
