Zubat
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Zubat is a poison/flying-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Speed — at 245 BST it is a low total for competitive play, with slow (base 55) and a mixed attacking profile. Its Inner Focus 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 Zubat. Build around what Zubat 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.
