Shroomish
MetaMons competitive notes
Shroomish is a grass-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward HP — at 295 BST it is a low total for competitive play, with slow (base 35) and a mixed attacking profile. Its Effect Spore 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 Shroomish. Build around what Shroomish 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.
