Vanillite
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Vanillite is a ice-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Special Attack — at 305 BST it is a low total for competitive play, with slow (base 44) and a mixed attacking profile. Its Ice Body 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 Vanillite. Build around what Vanillite 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.
