Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Thievul is a dark-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Special Defense — at 455 BST it is a typical total for competitive play, with above-average speed (base 90) and a special attacking profile. Its Run Away 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 Thievul. Build around what Thievul 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.
