Yeah, fuck Metagross, it can stay exactly where it is. Everyone needs to know that it's just mediocre in this metagame. I have no idea what people see in it apart from the fact that it's a pseudo-legendary. I was on PS tonight and some guy asked what was a good Pokemon to defend against Dragon-types. The answer basically boiled down to Steel-types. We all ended up naming the Steel-types in the metagame. I pretty much went "Jirachi, Bronzong, Ferrothorn, Skarmory, Forretress, Scizor, Genesect, and *sigh* Metagross". I'm not trying to pick on the guy, but he basically went "Great, I'll use Metagross".

I mean what the hell? That's like saying "I got a $200,000 voucher to spend on a car, I could pick a Merc, a Beamer, a Porsche, a Lambo, or a Hyundai. Hm... I'll pick the Hyundai".

Also, if you want me to rate your team (OU/DW OU/Ubers), give me a VM. If I don't rate it, it's either 1) it's so shit it's too much trouble, 2) I'm busy, or 3) the team is fantastic and I have nothing I can suggest to you. You should be able to recognise which one.
