Hey! I'm sharing a team I'm building in Violet focused on Metagross. I managed to pick up a shiny Beldum so I thought I'd give it a go for my first team I've put together in years.
Aiming to keep it to Pokémon that are easy enough to build in-game (i.e. not limited legendaries). Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!
Here's what I've got so far -
Metagross
Adamant
Leftovers/Assault Vest
252 HP, 160 Atk, 96 Spd
T Type: Water
Meowscarada
Adamant
Choice Band/Focus Sash
Protean
252 Atk, 252 Spd, 4 HP
T Type: Grass
Toxapex
Impish
Black Sludge
Regenerator
252 HP, 252 Def, 4 SDef
T Type: Dark
Dragapult
Modest
Choice Specs
Infiltrator
252 SpAtk, 252 Spd, 4 HP
T Type: Ghost
Ninetails Alolan
Timid
Snow Warning
Rocky Helmet
244 HP, 172 Spe, 92 SpD
T Type: Ice
Cinderace
Heavy-Duty Boots
Libero
Jolly
252 Atk, 252 Spe, 4 Def
T Type: Flying
Court Change is the teams only protection against entry hazards, although I appreciate this could be at odds with Toxapex's strategy. Flying Tera type is subject to change. It helps protect from ground moves which again, this team has a few weaknesses to. It also outspeeds Ogerpon and helps deal with ice types like Ninetails.
