Ninjask
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Ninjask is a bug/flying-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Speed — at 456 BST it is a typical total for competitive play, with top speed tier (base 160) and a physical attacking profile. Its Speed Boost 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 Ninjask. Build around what Ninjask 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.
