Kingdra
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Kingdra is a water/dragon-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Attack — at 540 BST it is a strong total for competitive play, with above-average speed (base 85) and a mixed attacking profile. Its Swift Swim 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 Kingdra. Build around what Kingdra 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.
