MetaMons competitive notes
Metang is a steel/psychic-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Defense — at 420 BST it is a low total for competitive play, with slow (base 50) and a physical attacking profile. Its Clear 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 Metang. Build around what Metang 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.
