Lanturn
MetaMons competitive notes
Lanturn is a water/electric-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward HP — at 460 BST it is a typical total for competitive play, with mid-pack speed (base 67) and a mixed attacking profile. Its Volt Absorb 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 Lanturn. Build around what Lanturn 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.
