Competitive Use

Timid is essential for fast special attackers that need to outspeed opponents. The Speed boost allows fragile sweepers to attack before being hit, while the Attack drop is irrelevant. Common users include Alakazam, Gengar, and Tapu Koko. Timid is preferred over Modest when Speed ties or outspeeding specific threats is critical.
