Igglybuff
MetaMons competitive notes
Igglybuff is a normal/fairy-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward HP — at 210 BST it is a low total for competitive play, with slow (base 15) and a mixed attacking profile. Its Cute Charm 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 Igglybuff. Build around what Igglybuff 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.
