[OVERVIEW]
  • Metagross High attack stat , priority and dual stab combo allow it to be a huge threat to teams it’s typing allows it to check common flying ,fairy and psychic types .
  • Due to metagross lacklustre speed it gets pressured by more offensive teams and gets outclassed by other steel’s like coballion , scizor and empoleon.
  • However metagross also struggles to combat common ground types like hippowdon which force metagross out. and the ever so prevalent suicune which metagross needs to have coverage like grass knot to take it on.

Moves
========

  • Stealth Rock is needed on teams because metagross is a great user and it’s typing allows it to be offensive prowess, which enables it to pressure opposing entry hazard removers easily
  • Meteor Mash is a incredibly strong stab that allows it to check togekiss and primarina
  • Earthquake hits apposing steel types like coballion and empoleon it also hits fire types infernape for super effective damage.
  • Pursuit allows metagross to trap celebi latias and starmie to make it more easier for team mates like infernape .

Set Details
========
  • 176 Speed EVs allows Metagross to outspeed fully invested Modest Primarinawhile 96 Attack EVs with an Adamant nature hit a jump point. The remaining 236 available EVs are poured into HP so Metagross can be as bulky as possible while still being able to dish out solid damage.
  • Shuca is the main item to use on metagross allowing it to check Mega Aerodactyl more easily And Mamoswine .

Usage Tips
========
  • Metagross is best lead early and be able to predict tanks like hippo from coming in it is optimical u get stealth rock up.
  • Switching metagross into psychic types like latias, celebi , and trapping them allows different team mates etc nidoking to break the opponent team.
  • Metagross however can be easily worn down and that makes it harder for it to check common offensive threats like Aerodactyl . So it’s optimal to play it more safely as if worn down it makes it harder to check those common threats.

Team Options
========
  • Metagross is best on teams that take advantage of hazards so partners like chandelure infernape Mega Aerodactyl are great partners
  • Grass-type Pokemon such as Celebi, and Rotom-C, which can combat the ever popular Ground- and Water-types that give Metagross trouble, are excellent partners as well.Users of Volt Switch and U-turn.
  • Also wall breakers suck as latias is a great partner with metagross as metagross typing allows common threats to latias to be more easily handled .

Moves
========
  • Stealth Rocks is metagross primarinary hazard setup and allows it to chip common threats on opposing teams.
  • Hidden power fire is mainly for huge threat like scizor as u can bait scizor in and killing it as this allows the huge threat to be gone .
  • Grass Knot is optimal to bait entry hazard walls which metagross fear particularly hippowdon and Swampert once u bait them in u can take Swampert out and leave hippowdon weak.
  • Meteor Mash is a Insanely strong stab move which enables u to take on fairy’s more easily and also has a 20% chance to raise the users attack .
Set Details
========
  • Max Special Attack And speed allow u to deal with scizor hippowdon and Swampert more freely as The max special attack allows u to ohko Swampert and heavily chip hippowdon hp fire also allows u to ohko scizor In conjunction clear body prevents attack drop from common offensive pokemon like krookodile Special Defense drops from psychic and shadow ball .
Usage Tips
========
  • Metagross is more prevarebly fit into being bulky offence our balance teams as its ability to set up hazards and threat out many common hazard removers like tentacruel and empoleon is useful.
  • Also it is best if metagross is lead first as many hazard setters etc Swampert will be more easily to bait and kill allowing no hazards to chip ur team .
  • Metagross can also be useful mid to late game to take out top tier threats like scizor
Team Options
========
  • Metagross team mates should be pokemon that can abuse metagross potential to fear out hazard removers pokemon like infernape Mega Sharpedo , Mega Aerodactyl which metagross helps to clean up in the late game make for great teammates. And also volt turners like rotom allow free switch ins. Other team mates like hydreigon work well with metagross as it is immune to ground and resist both fire and takes on bulky water types more easily which metagross appreciates as metagross can check fairy types like togekiss which threaten out hydreigon.
Other Options
=============
  • Other team members include primarina and heracross which can pivot in on entry and hazard removers and threaten them out notably heracross can take on most hazard setters removers with its access to flame orb guts boosted facade which helps clear away the hazard removers for metagross .
Checks and Counters
===================
  • Bulky water types like empoleon and tentacruel take nothing from special metagross attacks and can weaken metagross more easily for the opponents team also offensive fighting types like coballion infernape take notion from metagross attack And can dish out super effective damage weakening metagross severely

I'm going to QC reject 1/3. This analysis doesn't come anywhere close to meeting the standards for QC or GP. A good portion of the given information is incorrect, the grammar is nowhere near the accepted standards, and to continue with the analysis would basically mean a rewrite on both QC and GP's parts. In addition, the analysis is way too barebones to be checked at this time; some portions like Checks and Counters and Other Options are written completely wrong, while the rest of the analysis is very short, etc.

Here are links to how to write an analysis and the Smogon grammar standards, respectively:

If this is not fixed to the point where it is QC checkable and grammatically legible, QC members will continue to reject until it is denied.
