MetaMons competitive notes
Larvesta is a bug/fire-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Attack — at 360 BST it is a low total for competitive play, with mid-pack speed (base 60) and a physical attacking profile. Its Flame Body 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 Larvesta. Build around what Larvesta 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.
