21:14 Zeb and explain how shit it is

[Overview]
- sciences failed attempt at creating a utility counter for the NU tier
- counters stuff that other things counter better, but it sets up stealth rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! must be amazing
- base 75 attack is terrible for a tank without a boosting move and it fails to OHKO frail stuff like simisear and chatot
- usually sets up stealth rock and does nothing else
- even though metang checks things, it can only check them for a limited amount of time, no recovery whatsoever, not even leftovers
- almost every common pokemon kicks its ass directly/sets up on it
- fails to accomplish much of anything in general
- the only reason it wasnt rejected outright is because of usage, and even then its still slightly below the "needs a set" cutoff
- lack of coverage prevents it from sweeping, even with several hone claws boosts
- overall, metang is probably the worst pokemon in the NU tier that people actually use, and should never be considered for a teamslot, even in the most dire situation

- Set up stealth rock, and do minor damage to the opposing team
- Stealth rock because without Stealth rock metang would be outclassed by everything that gets stealth rock
- Toxic to cripple anything metang cant hurt (read: everything)
- Meteor mash doesnt even OHKO hoppip after rocks, but its useful so you arent COMPLETE tauntbait
- Reflect and Light screen help your team take hits, and may possibly let a teammate set up during the 5 turns
[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
- evs and Impish Nature make sure metang dies as slowly and painfully as possible, and maybe it will actually do something :o
- Good Teammates are: nothing because metang is so bad nothing can support it enough to make it useful. (something that benefits from screens and can actually do something, like Gurdurr or Fraxure)
- clear body blocks intimidate from shit like tauros (not like it will be doing damage anyway but w/e
- here are some calcs of the incredible damage metang can do
[Hilarious calcs of metang 3hkoing ninjask and shit go here]
Meteor Mash: 157-186 (58.14 - 68.88%) this is against eviolite hoppip, nuff' said
- alternate ev spread of 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 spe with an adamant nature to do slightly more damage and outrun things like vileplume by 1 point
- Light Clay for longer screens, but metang loses a crapload of bulk which is really the only good thing about it, bar metang clause it will probably take one hit, without eviolite it cant take hits very well
[Other Options]
- Restalk is cool, except you cant damage anything and lose stealth rock, which is pretty much the only reason to use metang in the first place
- signal beam to do 28% to tangela and not OHKO exeggutor
- hone claws mono attacker thats walled by pretty much every physically defensive pokemon and cant defend itself
- trick room.... oh wait it doesnt learn it
- Explosion for when metang realizes that its completely useless
[Checks and Counters]
- Misdreavus taunts it prevents it from setting up stealth rock
- anything that has taunt, really
- anything that doesnt care about toxic/is boosted by it
- wartortle rapid spins away rocks and takes less than1 1% from meteor mash
- magmortar can come in and fire blast it to death
- duosion and scraggy get to +6 and sweep
- gorebyss gets not an easy +2 but an easy +4 on it
- ninjask is only 3hkod by meteor mash and can make a teammate sweep your entire team
- quagsire hard walls you bar toxic
- samurott also gets a free+4 vs you
- garbodor sets up 3 layers of spikes on you without breaking a sweat
- tangela buts you to sleep
- gurdurr gets boosted by guts and sets up in your face
- skuntank can taunt you to stop you from doing anything, or just 2hko you with fire blast if its mixed
- this is only a small amount of counters
- lastly, metang clause, whenever metang is about to do something, PO's rng makes sure it dies as quickly as possible (seriously when i tested it in half the matches it got OHKOed by a crit EQ lol)
