Swoobat
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Swoobat is a psychic/flying-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Speed — at 425 BST it is a low total for competitive play, with top speed tier (base 114) and a special attacking profile. Its Unaware 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 Swoobat. Build around what Swoobat 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.
