MetaMons competitive notes
Iron Hands is a fighting/electric-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward HP — at 570 BST it is a strong total for competitive play, with slow (base 50) 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 Hands. Build around what Iron Hands 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.
