VGC Metagross (1/1)

[Yoko]

[OVERVIEW]
* Metagross serves as a good defensive Pokemon on balance teams thanks to its great defenses that are bolstered even further by Assault Vest, its good ability, and its nice defensive typing against foes like Raging Bolt and Iron Crown. Its access to coverage and high Attack stat make it appreciated as an offensive threat too.

* Metagross can pair well with offensive Pokemon like Flutter Mane and Landorus, which can help deal with the Dark-, Ghost-, and Fire-types that threaten it like Urshifu-S, Gholdengo, and Entei. Another excellent partner can be Ogerpon-W, which has great synergy with Metagross, being able to deal with Ground-types like Landorus and redirect Sucker Punch from Chien-Pao, while Metagross can help Ogerpon-W against Rillaboom and Raging Bolt.

* Before Terastallizing, Metagross can be overwhelmed by Pokemon like Kingambit, Chi-Yu, and Entei, making defensive partners like Amoonguss and Incineroar appreciated. Rillaboom can also be a good teammate for Metagross, providing it with passive recovery and utility via Grassy Terrain and Fake Out, respectively.

[SET]
Bulky Attacker (Metagross) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Clear Body
Level: 50
Tera Type: Dragon / Steel
EVs: 220 HP / 116 Atk / 36 Def / 92 SpD / 44 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Heavy Slam
- Psychic Fangs
- Bullet Punch
- Stomping Tantrum

[SET COMMENTS]

* Stomping Tantrum lets Metagross hit Fire- and Steel-types likeIncineroar, Entei, and Kingambit and can also help against targets like Raging Bolt. Stomping Tantrum in particular is important to hit Steel-types like Iron Crown, as they wall Metagross's STAB moves.

* Bullet Punch can be used to help pick off weakened foes like Flutter Mane.

* With an Assault Vest, Metagross can almost always survive Earth Power from Landorus

* With the given EV spread, Metagross almost always survives Icicle Crash from Adamant Chien-Pao when using Tera Dragon, and it is only 3HKOed by -1 Adamant Chien-Pao's Sacred Sword when using Tera Steel. The Speed EVs let it outspeed -1 Adamant Landorus-T, as well as Roaring Moon and Adamant Chien-Pao when in Tailwind.

* Tera Dragon lets Metagross handle Fire-types like Chi-Yu and Entei in a pinch, and it can also be useful to deal with Water-types like Ogerpon-W and Choice Scarf Urshifu-R. Tera Steel helps remove its weakness against Pokemon like Kingambit, Flutter Mane, and Chien-Pao, and it can also give Bullet Punch a chance to OHKO offensive Flutter Mane.

Metagross QC

[OVERVIEW]
* Metagross serves as a good defensive Pokemon on balance teams thanks to its good defenses bolstered even further by Assault Vest, good Ablilty, and nice defensive typing into foes like Raging Bolt and Iron Bundle Iron Crown (Iron Bundle isn't common enough to mention over Iron Crown.). Its lack of passivity due to its good coverage and great Attack can also be appreciated by its teammates. (Bit weird and unnecessary, something like 'Its access to coverage and high attack stat make it appreciated as an offensive threat' would fit better.)

* Metagross can pair well with offensive Pokemon like Flutter Mane and Landorus, which can help deal with the Dark-, Ghost-, and Fire-types, that threaten it like Roaring Moon Urshifu (Also not very common right now.), Gholdengo, and Entei. Another excellent partner can be Ogerpon-W, which has great synergy with Metagross, being able to deal with Ground-types like Landorus and redirect Sucker Punch from Chien-Pao, while Metagross can help against Rillaboom and Raging Bolt.

* Before using its tera, Metagross can be overwhelmed by Pokemon like Kingambit, Chi-yu, and Entei, making defensive partners like Amoonguss, and Incineroar, and Dondozo (Dondozo teams are a bit too offensive and don't use Metagross.) appreciated. Rillaboom can also be a good teammate for Metagross, being able to provide it with passive recovery and utility in Grassy Terrain and Fake Out respectively.

[SET COMMENTS]

* Stomping Tantrum lets Metagross hit Fire- and Steel-types like Chi-yu Kingambit, Incineroar, and Entei, it can also help against targets like Gholdengo, Raging Bolt, and Kingambit. (Worth mentioning Steels as they wall its STABs, ideal as it helps not mention too many threats.)

* (Talk about Bullet Punch and how it can remove a chipped Flutter Mane.)

* Assault Vest bolsters Metagross's Special Defense, which can let it almost always survive Earth Power from Landorus.

* This given EV spread lets Metagross almost always survive Icicle Crash from Adamant Chien-Pao when Tera Dragon, and live 2 -1 Adamant Chien-Pao Sacred Swords when Tera Steel. The Speed EVs let it outspeed -1 Adamant Landorus-T, and Roaring Moon and Adamant Chien-Pao when in Tailwind.

* Tera Dragon lets Metagross handle Fire-types like Chi-yu and Entei in a pitch, it can also be useful to deal with Water-types like Ogerpon-W and Choice Scarf Urshifu-R. Tera Steel provides many valuable resistances, helps to (Steel only gives it a Bug resistance from its original typing.) remove its weakness against Pokemon like Kingambit, Flutter Mane, and Roaring Moon Chien-Pao, it can also give a chance to OHKO offensive Flutter Mane.
