Vespiquen
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Vespiquen is a bug/flying-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Defense — at 474 BST it is a typical total for competitive play, with slow (base 40) and a mixed attacking profile. Its Pressure 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 Vespiquen. Build around what Vespiquen 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.
