MetaMons competitive notes
Purugly is a normal-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Speed — at 452 BST it is a typical total for competitive play, with top speed tier (base 112) and a mixed attacking profile. Its Thick Fat 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 Purugly. Build around what Purugly 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.
