Team at a glance:
Chnages in red
Metagross @ Lum Berry
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 112 HP/184 Atk/212 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Bullet Punch
- Pursuit
- Explosion
- Earthquake
First things first, thanks to Council for introducing this Metagross in public. Specifically amazing for me because I have an answer to Gengar and Deoxys, without having to resort to dodgy prediction; that usually ends up in a disaster. According to its description, with the HP EVs Metagross can survive one Jolly Garchomp's Earthquake after Stealth Rock damage has been dealt. Situational seems to be the metagame's craze these days, and this Metagross proves that point. Oftenly enough, I explode immediately after Gengar or Deoxys have been cleared. Thank to Sikh Assasin to opening my eyes and suggesting this set.

I've already explained what this does on metagross-but i'll explain it again. Mence has 4 weaknessess-electric dragon rock ice.Metagross resists all of those weaknesses.Fantastic synergy i worked out when i first played pokemon.Metagross has 4 weaks also-ground bug dark and fire.Mence resist all of those apart from dark,which is neutral.Bulkymence absolutely tears through the majority of OU taking chomp,weavile and a hell of a lot else after a few dragon dances.Roost off the damage and its like doing the Sinnoh league all over again-easy.
