Checks and Counters
===================

**Insert Threat Here**: Describe why the Pokemon is a threat.

 

[Kink]

should be earthquake / explode, and Ice punch over Thunder Punch, with BP as the first slash

e: Stealth Rock also needs its own set, with Lefties / Lum as the items, with Custap getting an honourable mention in set details.

e2: And please make it Agility lol it's Agiligross :)

 

[Freeroamer]

too many sets lol, CB / tank / mix should be the only 3 in that order IMO, agility is honestly so niche when you compare the risk/reward of the setup turn compared to other sweepers in the tier and how much work you have to do to get it in a position where it can sweep vs anything that isn't frail as balls offense and even then it needs shit weakened / removed. SR is mediocre considering how many hazard removers have little trouble with this 1v1(Forre/Emp/Stoise/Gligar/Mence all spring to mind, I guess you could run mash/ice/EQ to reduce this but it's still an issue I feel, especially as you might want BP for anti leading sash azelf reasonably well.)

Tank should have Shuca slashed on it somewhere, handling physical Mence once is extremely nice as well as being able to lure most ground types provided you run appropriate coverage for your squad(mega pert weak squads run grass knot, nido weak squads zen headbutt etc.). It's very customisable to the team it's on. Ik this is WIP but these are things I feel rly strongly on.

For the Tank set, I would recommend running 92 Speed because Metagross can't do much to Suicune or any other 206 Speed inhabitant (Cresselia, Gligar). 92 Speed allows you to outrun 164 Speed regular-Abomasnow, which is a good benchmark to outspeed. You can dump the rest into Defensive stats to maximize its tanking power.

CB set should have Bullet Punch and Pursuit as options for the fourth slot. Pursuit is good for dealing with CM Reuniclus and miscellaneous weak things that Metagross Pursuit-Traps. Bullet Punch is a good option for a boosted Priority move.

AgiliGross/RPGross is extremely underwhelming in cleaning power because it requires a lot of team support to open a path for cleaning; thus, it should be under "Other Options".
