Sylveon
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Sylveon is a fairy-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Special Defense — at 525 BST it is a strong total for competitive play, with mid-pack speed (base 60) and a special attacking profile. Its Cute Charm 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 Sylveon. Build around what Sylveon 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.
