MetaMons competitive notes
Nidoqueen is a poison/ground-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Attack — at 505 BST it is a strong total for competitive play, with mid-pack speed (base 76) and a mixed attacking profile. Its Poison Point 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 Nidoqueen. Build around what Nidoqueen 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.
