PLACE IN THE META: Amoonguss is yet another Grass- and Poison-type addition to Pokémon GO. And, unfortunately, it won't be a good one. Its Stamina is good, but its Defense and Attack are low. And, looking at the all potential moves it could be given, it is lacking a S.T.A.B. Fast Attack. Unless, of course, it gets Hidden Power; In which case, it would only be boosted if you get a stroke of luck with its typing.
