— Long Neck Pokémon
Girafarig
MetaMons competitive notes
Girafarig is a normal/psychic-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Special Attack — at 455 BST it is a typical total for competitive play, with above-average speed (base 85) and a mixed attacking profile. Its Inner Focus 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 Girafarig. Build around what Girafarig 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.
