QC Approvals 0/3
Metagross (Leftovers)
Name: Defensive Metagross (Ubers)
Clear Body
Move 1: Meteor Mash
Move 2: Bullet Punch
Move 3: Earthquake
Move 4: Explosion/Stealth Rock/Pursuit
Item: Leftovers/Choice Band
EVs: 252 HP/4 Atk/252 Sp. Def
Careful Nature
Why this set deserves to be on-site:
• Easily switches into Draco Meteors, Spacial Rend, Outrage etc.
• Very bulky, can even take a Modest Special Attack from Kyogre in the rain.
• Very good Lati@s counter
• Metagross has a good Attack stat even with a small amount of investment in Attack EVs.
• Meteor Mash and Earthquake provides good coverage.
• Bullet Punch can be used to revenge kill threats with low health.
Damage calcs:
• Timid Max Special Attack + 1 Mewtwo (Aura Sphere) vs Max HP/252 Sp. Def Careful Metagross: 23.6% - 28%Therefore it an always survive at least 3 hits and counter with Meteor Mash or Explosion.
• Adamant Max Attack Ho-oh (Sacred Fire) vs Max HP/0 Def Careful Metagross: 79.1% - 92.9%. Then Explosion and kill Ho-oh.
• Timid Choice Scarf Max Sp. Atk Kyogre (Water Spout) vs Careful Max HP / Max Sp. Def Metagross: 86.5% - 102.2% so it would sometimes survive the hit.
Teammates:
• Kyogre is a very good teammate thanks to rain support
• Kyogre lures in Lati@s and Palkia, Metagross take them out
• Metagross can take Grass Knots for Kyogre
Additional Comments:
• The Leftovers for the Metagross is so that it could recover every turn.
• The Choice Band option would help with its attack power if need so it would be bulky and strong in attack.
• If you want to make the Metagross physically bulkier, you can run the ev spread of 252 HP / 128 Def / 128 SpD, which can survive a 156 Atk Adamant Groudon earthquake at 89.7% - 106.3%
Counters:
• Groudon is a significant counter to this set, as the typical form (252 Atk, adamant nature) OHKOs it with Earthquake and you cannot retaliate
• Modest Max Special Attack Kyogre KOes this with Water Spout in the rain.
• Deoxys-A KOes this set with Superpower
Thats the moveset, hope you guys like it.
