Quilava
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Quilava is a fire-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Special Attack — at 405 BST it is a low total for competitive play, with above-average speed (base 80) and a mixed attacking profile. Its Blaze 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 Quilava. Build around what Quilava 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.
