MetaMons competitive notes
Slaking is a normal-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Attack — at 670 BST it is a legendary-grade total for competitive play, with above-average speed (base 100) and a physical attacking profile. Its Truant 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 Slaking. Build around what Slaking 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.
