Overview
########
- Addition of Fairy types gives it a new role in the metagame
- Still one of the best tanks in the game
########
name: Trick Room Sweeper
move 1: Hammer Arm
move 2: Meteor Mash
move 3: Zen Headbutt
move 4: Protect/Ice Punch
ability: Clear Body
item: Life Orb
evs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
ivs: 0 Spd
nature: Brave
Moves
========
- Meteor Mash is STAB of choice, and increases attack.
- Hammer Arm decreases Metagross' speed, and therefore increases Metagross' speed
- Zen Headbutt is nice secondary STAB, and it provides a handy flinch rate.
- Protect is useful in Doubles in general, while Ice Punch helps round out coverage.
========
- Minimized Speed for maximum efficiency under Trick Room
- Maximized attack and bulk for higher longevity and power
- Life Orb helps Metagross' sweep even further
========
- Since this set doesn't set up itself, it's best to bring it in in tandem with a Trick Room user, rather than after, to maximize the set's potential.
========
- Trick Room user(s), to give this set a purpose
- Scrafty to take on Ghost/Dark types
- Gyarados is immune to Ground- and resistant to Fire-type attacks, and Mega Gyarados resists Dark- and Ghost-type attacks.

ability: Clear Body

evs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spd
nature: Adamant
Moves
========
- Normal Gem-boosted Explosion, with a high base attack, is a destructive force that every living and non-mineral Pokémon should be aware of.
- Meteor Mash helps obtain an even higher attack
- Block helps you choose your target
- Protect is good in most doubles battles; useful for scouting moves
========
- Maximized attack for getting the most out of Explosion
- High HP so that Metagross doesn't go out before its destined time
- Let's try not to use Light Metal, k?
========
- Since Block doesn't trap Ghost-types anymore (y u so OP, Ghost!?), make sure that Ghost types are eliminated before using Metagross, if you choose to use the move.
========
- Ghost types for obvious reasons.
- Pokémon that can handle opposing Ghost types, like Bisharp or your own Ghost types.
########
- Assault Vest set could work, but Steel nerf and Knock Off buff makes it harder to use and easier to manage
- Weakness Policy can be effective, but Aegislash does it better
- Trick+Iron Ball
- Air Balloon
########
- Bulky Water Types
- Heatran
- MegaYard
- Chandelure
- Victini
- Talonflame
- Ground types to an extent
