Vigoroth
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Vigoroth is a normal-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Speed — at 440 BST it is a low total for competitive play, with above-average speed (base 90) and a physical attacking profile. Its Vital Spirit 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 Vigoroth. Build around what Vigoroth 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.
