MetaMons competitive notes
Honedge is a steel/ghost-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Defense — at 325 BST it is a low total for competitive play, with slow (base 28) and a physical attacking profile. Its No Guard 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 Honedge. Build around what Honedge 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.
