MetaMons competitive notes
Garbodor is a poison-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Attack — at 474 BST it is a typical total for competitive play, with mid-pack speed (base 75) and a physical attacking profile. Its Stench 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 Garbodor. Build around what Garbodor 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.
