Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Voltorb is a electric-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Speed — at 330 BST it is a low total for competitive play, with above-average speed (base 100) and a special attacking profile. Its Soundproof 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 Voltorb. Build around what Voltorb 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.
