MetaMons competitive notes
Swellow is a normal/flying-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Speed — at 455 BST it is a typical total for competitive play, with top speed tier (base 125) and a mixed attacking profile. Its Guts 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 Swellow. Build around what Swellow 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.
