Team At A Glance
-------------------
Lead
Metagross@Occa Berry
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 232 HP/252 Atk/ 8 Def/ 12 Speed
Adamant(+Atk -Sp Atk)
-Bullet Punch
-Meteor Mash
-Stealth Rock
-Earthquake
Metagross is in my opinion the best lead currently available, seeing as the only thing that can stop him is the extremely rare specs Heatran lead. I chose not to use explosion on this set because of this: most Metagross leads have either earthquake OR meteor mash, and the opponent will usually choose the next pokemon depending on which you have. Having both means that heatrans coming in expecting only meteor mash will take an earthquake to the face.
The EVs on this set are a makeover of the smogon set. Slightly more speed to outspeed the standard, and slightly more atk to 2hko most frail leads with bullet punch.
This lead can be used as a suicide lead if needed to get a free switch, but for the most part i keep it alive as death fodder and status absorber for later in the game.
Tyranitar(M)@Choice Scarf
Ability:Sand Stream
EVs: 252 Atk/248 Speed/8 Sp Def
Jolly(+Speed -Sp Atk)
-Crunch
-Pursuit
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge
Tyranitar's main purpose is to take out fast special attackers that would normally wreck gyarados. He can pursuit trap blissey and celebi and one hit the starmie and latias who will expect choice band with crunch.
Tyranitar is also somewhat of a special sponge even though he doesnt have any HP invest.
The final use for tyranitar is simply his sandstorm because this team would otherwise be very weak to rain dance teams.
Gyarados(M)@Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 156 HP/108 Atk/76 Def/168 Speed
Adamant(+Atk -Sp Atk)
-Taunt
