MetaMons competitive notes
Zacian is a fairy-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Speed — at 660 BST it is a legendary-grade total for competitive play, with top speed tier (base 138) and a physical attacking profile. Its Intrepid Sword 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 Zacian. Build around what Zacian 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.
