Xatu
MetaMons competitive notes
Xatu is a psychic/flying-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Special Attack — at 470 BST it is a typical total for competitive play, with above-average speed (base 95) and a special attacking profile. Its Synchronize 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 Xatu. Build around what Xatu 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.
