Wait.(although Trick Room has been shortened to 3 turns instead of 5 -_-).
The damage receiver's defence is only cut for Explosion's and Selfdestruct's damage calculation in gen 4 (and older?).Oh ok. T_T That sucks a lot. I never knew explosion cuts the defending pokemon's defense lol. I don't think I saw it in the move description. Does it say it on Shoddy after you use and they don't die?
Tailwind might still be better. There's plenty of things that can "outspeed" Metagross in Trick Room and Tailwind allows you to run max speed for when it goes down. Tailwind now lasts 4 turns instead of 3 so it's almost as good as Trick Room in that regard.To all people regarding about trick room: nvm. Trick Room is still 5 turns.
Which means more things for Metagross to rape with Claw Sharpen + Life Orb
Well then, I'd like an option to the bulky Claw Sharpen set to have a variant with 0 Speed EVs, Hammer Arm over Earthquake, and Explosion slashed in with ThunderPunch. :3To all people regarding about trick room: nvm. Trick Room is still 5 turns.

I thought that Female Dream World Pokemon could be bred with Male Gen IV Pokemon, and pass on the ability and the moves from the mother and father respectively.I can think of half a dozen pokemon who would love to have their previous moves (*Ahem GLISCOR*)
I don't think so.That will just mean he gets to compete with Ttar and Scizor for choiced Pokemon.wow gross didnt change at all sure explosion got maimed but it was cheap anyways, gross isnt going anywhere, though i think CB set will be used more frequently
That works for getting Egg Moves, but not Gen IV-only TM Moves and Move Tutor Moves.I thought that Female Dream World Pokemon could be bred with Male Gen IV Pokemon, and pass on the ability and the moves from the mother and father respectively.
I'm not 100% sure, but....
of course he is. the only difference is that he gotta stick with grass knot instead of explosion if he want to have a chance VS pert what kinda sucks.
As stated earlier by some posters, Iron Fist would've been nice (and made more sense), considering the plethora of "fist" moves Metagross learns. Levitate would also have been nice and once again, made more sense lore-wise than light metal. But seeing as GF refused to touch anything that has Levitate as an ability (except the Bronzor line, because both Zor and Zong can get Heatproof), Iron fist was more plausible.I would have really hoped that Metagross would've gotten some other ability other than Light Metal (Adaptability? Pure Power?)
Metagross would have lost the most important of those punch attacks since Iron Fist would have been incompatible with the elemental punches though. Still, a boosted Bullet Punch would have been great.As stated earlier by some posters, Iron Fist would've been nice (and made more sense), considering the plethora of "fist" moves Metagross learns.

But no.
