Hi, I'm new to Smogon and my name is Kayos. (pronounced chaos). I was looking around and discovered this thread about double battles.
Is there anything here on the combo of Skill Swap@Levitate Paired with Metagross? A good combo for this would be this pair of movesets:
Bronzong@Shuca Berry
Levitate
252def/252hp/4sdef
Relaxed
-Skill Swap
-Gyro Ball
-Hypnosis
-Reflect/Light Screen
This set is good while it can set up for Metagross to sweep well while still being able to status some of your opponents pokemon. (I know,55 accuracy isn't that great). Skill Swap is the entire focus of this set and is put onto Metagross, making it immune to it's biggest weakness, ground. Gyro ball is capitalizing on how abysmally slow Bronzong is, and is why I chose a Relaxed nature. Hypnosis is more of a disruption move, emphasizing how versatile Bronzong is. Reflect and Light Screen can be interchanged to suit your team's needs, if you fear the high powered Fire attacks such as OverHeat and FireBlast. Now for the Gross set:
Metagross@Life Orb
Clear Body
252atk/176spd/176def
Adamant
-Earthquake
-MeteorMash
-ThunderPunch
-Explosion
This set is based around having lots of power while still enjoying the versatility of changing moves and only having one weakness. Earthquake provides excellent type coverage and very good accuracy with power, MeteorMash is for STAB and taking care of Ice types. ThunderPunch is for coverage against water types that are not covered by the latter 2 moves. Explosion is to go out with a bang when Metagross is at low HP.
Hope you like my first post
