I need ideas on how to raise Shiny Beldum - Metagross
 
Hello all. I got a Shiny Beldum! :)
I just want to know how I should EV train it, and what it's moveset should be. Of course it's gonna be a Metagross! But first I need to know things!


Ok...
It's Lv. 5, and here are it's stats:

Nature: Quiet (+Sp. Atack, -Speed)

HP: 20
Atck: 11
Dfnse: 14
Sp. Atk: 11
Sp. Def: 11
Speed: 7

There you go.
Give me a variety of strategies please! Oh, and it's mainly for 1 on 1 battle! :)

Even ingame Psychic is eww even if he gets STAB. Psychic is good on Mixgross.


Metagross @ Choice Band ** Meteor Miss
Trait: Clear Body
- Earthquake
- Explosion
- Meteor Mash
- Rock Slide

Standard CBer.

Metagross @ Leftovers ** Meteor Miss
Trait: Clear Body
- Meteor Mash
- Earthquake / Rock Slide / Sleep Talk
- Thunderpunch
- Hidden Power [Grass] / Rest

Rest is really only good with Sleep Talk as Meta can't afford to miss two turns sleeping.

Running your Beldum through an IV calculator shows that your Beldum has an awesome Sp. Attack stat, good HP and Defense, and okay Attack. Of course, at such a low level, it may prove inaccurate but it’s safe to say that you’ll want at least Thunderpunch on it to take advantage of that Sp. Attack. Also, congrats on the shiny!

Thanks alot man!!! I only have 22 BP (seeing as I was never really interested in the Frontier), but I'm working on it. I love the Factory, and I think it yields 5 BP per win. I dunno. One of them does.
Trust me, Thunderpunch just seems so great on it. I like diverse Pokemon. I have two definate moves: Thunderpunch & Earthquake. After I look it over and get some thought in, I'll see how I should EV train it. I'll probably trade it over to FR, because I feel so much safer there, and I know what trainers have what. I'm much, much more familier with Kanto Pokemon..

Thanks again! It's good to know that it's pretty decent, compared to my other Shiny Pokemon (A Ninetails)...

explosion and meteor mash should be on any set so basically you have:

Meteor Mash
Earthquake
thunder punch
explosion

as your set

Fr0st July 17th, 2006 7:15 AM

I didnt suggest the CBer as it has a Quiet nature... Might as well work with the awesome special attack

Lord Mike July 17th, 2006 11:28 AM

Psychic is an option in-game with its "increible" Special Attack as AB predicted and the fact that it gets a STAB makes it 50% better.

Yep. But, what's so good about Meteor Mash? I forgot it's Base Attack Power.. but it's accuracy is low. It would get the STAB but what good are Steel moves? I guess against Rock Pokemon. Aren't Ice Pokemon weak to it too? I dunno. But I like that moveset. I also still have the Explosion dude in FR, but it'll be one of the last I teach it, I think, when EV training is done.
Muahaha. Thanks. :)

(I still have a little ways to go before I DO EV train it.. so there's still time for opinions!)

Ummm, Meteor Mash is only like Metagross's BEST MOVE EVER. It has a power of 100 and with STAB. it's power is 150. Not to mention that Meteor Mash can have a 30% chance of raising Gross's already high Attack power.

Ok, sorry, my bad. I didn't know STAB was that high.
(And sorry if this is posted more than once. The server's to blame. v.v )
