MetaMons competitive notes
Torkoal is a fire-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Defense — at 470 BST it is a typical total for competitive play, with slow (base 20) and a mixed attacking profile. Its White Smoke 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 Torkoal. Build around what Torkoal 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.
