Gastrodon
MetaMons competitive notes
Gastrodon is a water/ground-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward HP — at 475 BST it is a typical total for competitive play, with slow (base 39) and a mixed attacking profile. Its Sticky Hold 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 Gastrodon. Build around what Gastrodon 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.
