Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Yeah. If Mega Metagross is so centralizing, then I'd like to see which otherwise bad Pokemon are being used to counter him. Fact of the matter is that Mega Metagross is checked by stuff like Bisharp, Landorus-Therian, bulky waters, and many other things that teams would use anyway. Meta...
IMO Metagross' movepool is actually kind of mediocre. It doesn't get Recover or anything similar, so it can't capitalize on its bulk. Its STABs are meh; 90 power on Meteor Mash and 80 power on Zen Headbutt. Hammer Arm is on the lower end of ultimate fighting attacks and comes with a nasty...

Thundurus: a decent Pokemon that was slightly over powered but never...
