Hydrapple
MetaMons competitive notes
Hydrapple is a grass/dragon-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Special Attack — at 540 BST it is a strong total for competitive play, with slow (base 44) and a special attacking profile. Its Supersweet Syrup 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 Hydrapple. Build around what Hydrapple 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.
