Kricketune
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Kricketune is a bug-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Attack — at 384 BST it is a low total for competitive play, with mid-pack speed (base 65) and a physical attacking profile. Its Swarm 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 Kricketune. Build around what Kricketune 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.
