MetaMons competitive notes
Iron Boulder is a rock/psychic-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Speed — at 590 BST it is a strong total for competitive play, with top speed tier (base 124) and a physical attacking profile. Its Quark Drive 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 Iron Boulder. Build around what Iron Boulder 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.
