Magby
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Magby is a fire-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Speed — at 365 BST it is a low total for competitive play, with above-average speed (base 83) and a mixed 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 Magby. Build around what Magby 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.
