Empoleon fills a special attacker niche on Champions ranked teams. With a 66-stat-point budget (max 32 per stat), most builds pour 32 into Sp. Attack and HP, then fine-tune Speed in steps of 2 to sit just above or below the metagame's common numbers.

Defensively it is hurt hardest by Electric, Fighting, Ground, while resisting Normal, Water, Ice, Flying. Check the Water page for the full matchup math behind those numbers.
