[SET COMMENTS 1]
Moves
========
-Shift Gear: Shift Gear is a great boosting move, giving a boost on Attack and Speed that allows you to be at least dangerous.
-Gear grind: Gear grind is STAB and is here to cause damage...real damage. In addiction to Technician boost we have the Shift Gear boost. It attacks twice, so it's a great move to break Substitute.
-Ice Shard/Icicle Spear: Ice Shard is for ground coverage, doing good damage with the technician boost. It comlpletely rekts Mega Rayquaza as well!
-Bonemerang: Bonemerang is a fun and quite damaging move to use with Technician and is even more boosted with Shift Gear. Is here to deal with Aegislash and Dialga, 2 pokémon that could resist this set.

Moves
========
-Shell Smash: Shell Smash is a great boosting move and with Simple+White herb gives you a free x3 SpA, SpD and Spe boost!
-Stored Power: Stored Power is a devastating move with stat boosts and with that Shell Smash is more powerful than ever! 20*9+20=200 power after Simple Shell Smash :O! Someone is going to die!
-Earth Power/Flash Cannon: Earth Power is here for coverage matching well against Tyranitar that's immune to Stored Power. And it does a lot of damage on Aegislash and Registeel.
-King's Shield/Infestation: Here the choice is yours. It depends if you want to survive more in case if you need another Shell Smash (now you dont have the White Herb) or if you want to destroy Shedinjas on predict, because after your opponents watches you making that Shell Smash he will try to use Shedinja to stop you.
Item
========
-Item for set 1-Life Orb/Lum Berry: You can use Life Orb for even more move power or Lum Berry to avoid Burns and Paralysis.
-Item for set 2-White Herb: This is quite obvious, it restores you the loss of Def and SpD that Shell Smash causes you.
Great Advantages
========
-Mega Metagross by being a Steel type is a great check to Diancie (resisting even to its Magma Storm) and a nice check to othe -ates Rayquaza and Kyurem that dont run Sacred Fire/Precipice Blades/Earth Power.
-Mega Metagross has a decent base speed reaching to 350 (timid) outspeeding some threats like Groudon, Kyogre, Kyurem, etc...
-Set 2 is a Special version of Metagross that can catch the oponnent by surprise since Metagross is more known by it's Physical potential.
-Any of the sets (specially set 1) are awesome counters of Mega Audino, Aegislash and Registeell. They are bulky walls but we have a super-effective move for all of them.
-Set 2 is imposterproof if you aren't running Earth Power. Just use a Tyranitar! If you are running Earth Power, then Yveltal is a great choice.
Threats
========
-Prankster: it can be a problem if the oponnent has a sleeping move (if you don't have Lum Berry on set 1).
-Topsy-turvy: If an oponnent uses it, it completely ruins your strategy.
-Ground types (set1): They are a problem by using ground moves that can KO metagross. You can try Ice Shard but only if you have done Shift Gear 1-2 times.
-Yveltal (set 2): It walls set 2 completely. Immune to both Earth Power and Stored Power.
-Shedinja: walls both sets. Walls set 1 completely and if you dont have Infestation on set 2.
-Imposter: For set 1 i suggest Shedinja to counter it, and for set 2 use Yveltal as a partner.
