MetaMons competitive notes
Relicanth is a water/rock-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Defense — at 485 BST it is a typical total for competitive play, with slow (base 55) and a physical 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 Relicanth. Build around what Relicanth 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.
