Mantine
MetaMons competitive notes
Mantine is a water/flying-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Special Defense — at 485 BST it is a typical total for competitive play, with mid-pack speed (base 70) and a special attacking profile. Its Swift Swim 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 Mantine. Build around what Mantine 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.
