need a good moveset and nature for Metagross
If I'm right Metagross is the final evolution. Ok but I need a good EV spread, moveset, and nature. I was guessing Modest nature with 252 sp. atk , 252 speed and 4 HP. Am I right?

Hmm not quite, Metagross isn't designed for a special sweep

Uuuh, Metagross's base attack is almost 100 better than Special Attack. So, Natures, if you're going for a sweeper, do Adamant. And if you're EV training, speed wont be a big priority. Its already low. Full on attack first. Id pump up HP to have more endurance. Im a big endurance guy myself though. Maybe max out defense for a boost. And moves...
Meteor Mash Hammer Arm Explosion Giga Impact Well thats what I would do, Ive never really used Metagross. |
Metagross @ Choice Band

As always, the usual Metagross tends to be the best: Metagross @ Leftovers/Life Orb Adamant Nature EVs: 152 HP, 252 Atk, 106 Speed - Meteor Mash - Earthquake - Agility - Thunderpunch/Explosion Hammer Arm could work on a Choice Band Metagross (or if you don't have access to Thunderpunch; Zen Headbutt could work too, but really only to take out Heracross), to take out Blissey. But someone would be crazy to send Blissey into Metagross. Thunderpunch is preferred by a long shot, since it OHKOs Gyarados, specifically Dragon Dance Gyarados. Plan: switch in as soon as Gyara switches in and DD's up, Agility, survive an Earthquake, and OHKO with Thunderpunch (Metagross can survive an Earthquake from a Gyarados after ONE Dragon Dance... so you gotta do it quick. And he survives by an inch, so be prepared to lose Metagross sometime soon). I would only consider using Explosion if you give Metagross a Life Orb.It really does work perfectly... you Agility up, pwn until his health is down, and Explode for a final OHKO on anything that doesn't resist it... and even then, Skarmory takes HEAVY damage from it. |
Metagross is effective using ice punch on the nasty ground types and EQ on fire types. Those two attacks cover his weaknesses.

252 atk/128 speed/128 HP Adamant -Meteor Mash -Earthquake -Agility -ThunderPunch/Ice Punch/Zen Headbutt/Explosion The last move is up to you, really. |
Basically, use agility and three physical moves.
