Kecleon
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Kecleon is a normal-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Special Defense — at 440 BST it is a low total for competitive play, with slow (base 40) and a physical attacking profile. Its Color Change 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 Kecleon. Build around what Kecleon 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.
