MetaMons competitive notes
Orbeetle is a bug/psychic-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Special Defense — at 505 BST it is a strong total for competitive play, with above-average speed (base 90) and a special attacking profile. Its Swarm 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 Orbeetle. Build around what Orbeetle 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.
