MetaMons competitive notes
Shinx is a electric-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Attack — at 263 BST it is a low total for competitive play, with slow (base 45) and a physical attacking profile. Its Rivalry 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 Shinx. Build around what Shinx 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.
