MetaMons competitive notes
Slowpoke is a water/psychic-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward HP — at 315 BST it is a low total for competitive play, with slow (base 15) and a physical attacking profile. Its Oblivious 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 Slowpoke. Build around what Slowpoke 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.
