Magmar
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Magmar is a fire-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Special Attack — at 495 BST it is a typical total for competitive play, with above-average speed (base 93) 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 Magmar. Build around what Magmar 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.
