Metagross
 
Just popped up in my mind:

[email protected]
Adamant Nature
-Meteor Mash
-Earthquake
-Sludge Bomb
-filler

It's Just Fufu July 24th, 2006 11:50 PM

[email protected]
Adamant
252 Atk, 88 Speed, 168 HP
Meteor Mash
Agility
Earthquake
Explosion
^WOrks really good IMO. I don't like Sludge Bomb on Metagross, it should have either Rock Slide or Shadow Ball.

I prefer CB myself, as it hits harder. Shadow Call isn't really needed as Meteor Mash (as far as CB goes) 1-2HKOs anything that shadowball would be used for. Sludge Bomb is actually a cool option for Ludicolo or unrecoverable damage to Celebi. Though Rock Slide probably outdoes the other two options anyway.

Lord Mike July 25th, 2006 5:50 AM

Thunderpunch/Meteor Mash/EQ/Rock Slide is what I use. I use it in conjunction with Scizor for power and speed.

You're right. And I would of given it 'Shadow Ball'.

Use this:


Metagross @ Choice Band ** Meteor Miss
Trait: Clear Body
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Explosion
- Meteor Mash
- Rock Slide

Agilitygross is way outdated.


Metagross @ Leftovers ** Meteor Miss
Trait: Clear Body
Brave Nature (+Atk, -Spd)
- Earthquake
- Hidden Power [Grass] / Psychic
- Meteor Mash
- Thunder Punch

Doesn't work too well in game as you want 70 power HP [Grass]. It needs 250 Sp. attack to guarentee a 2HKO on Skarm with T-punch. Also Mixgross is just fun if you want a more serious set go with the CB set.

Rock Slide is way better. It needs it for Zapdos, who is a big Metagross counter.

you use shadow ball for stuff like ghosts, and maybe psychics, but you can hit those with meteor mash.

It's not like Metor Mash doesn't already OHKO them. Stab'd MM only has 10 less power than a SE Shadow Ball anyway.

Lord Mike July 26th, 2006 4:06 AM

A CB STAB'd Meteor Mash OHKOs Gengar IIRC.

Agiligross is ages away from outdated now that SD Celebi is common

Lord Mike July 26th, 2006 4:30 AM

I just pass stuff to Metagross from Ninjask or Scizor so I don't waste a lot of slots.

Pax Deorum July 26th, 2006 4:32 AM

More like pass to a Mag the first turn

starmie fighter July 26th, 2006 4:40 AM

agility gross doesn't even need **** passed to it

Lord Mike July 26th, 2006 8:12 AM

Agiligross is meh. CBgross is better. 'Nuff said.

I haven't seen Agilitygross in god knows how long.

Squarewalker July 26th, 2006 10:14 AM

Mullet stop battling YoMama and battle people who actually know about metagame changes.
Just because you don't see Agilitygross, doesn't mean that it's outdated ffs.

Pax Deorum July 26th, 2006 10:15 AM

Aldebaran: Mullet still says Agiligross isn't used
Aldebaran: because he doesn't see it
0mastar: tell him he is an idiot
0mastar: and doesn't even play adv

LOL XD

Agiligross is used a lot in today's metagame. I don't see it too much at the moment, but that doesn't mean its not still out there. 'Nuff said.

Have a nice day people. ._.

Adv is all I play.

Pax Deorum July 26th, 2006 10:26 AM

Then you'd have to see Agiligross more than you say you do

I don't but whatever. I will now stop caring.

Espy Psyche July 26th, 2006 11:55 AM

The biggest use for Shadow Ball Metagross seems to be Espyblock and Gardyblock, because these can deal heavy fire damage to Metagross once setting up Reflect. But since my followers are the only ones who use these sets, it will have limited ability. Meteor Mash takes care of other Shadow Ball opponents (Celebi/Zam/Gengar/etc.)

aragornbird July 27th, 2006 8:49 AM

~*^*~~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~~*^*~

Guys, stop swearing. I have no problem with it at all, but it’s still against PC’s rules.

Also, e4, if you find that you double posted, please take the time to delete your post. Also, lol @ "followers".

Then get a freaken Snorlax with Shadow Ball or something. Rock Slide is better because it covers more types and those types it covers are more common. Flying-types are all around OU. Even if Rock Slide was only good against Flying is would be considered helpful. Then again a STAB'd MM does as much as RS.
