Palpitoad
MetaMons competitive notes
Palpitoad is a water/ground-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward HP — at 384 BST it is a low total for competitive play, with mid-pack speed (base 69) and a mixed 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 Palpitoad. Build around what Palpitoad 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.
