Grovyle
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Grovyle is a grass-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Speed — at 405 BST it is a low total for competitive play, with above-average speed (base 95) and a special attacking profile. Its Overgrow 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 Grovyle. Build around what Grovyle 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.
