    I got one with these iv's:

    30 hp

    atk 27

    def: 25

    sp. atk 19

    sp.def 29

    spd. 21. This is it's set:

    Metagross @:Leftovers
    Trait: Clear Body
    Adamant Nature
    Earthquake
    Meteor Mash
    Agility
    Thunderpunch. Now I was wandering which 'spread to give it.
     
    EV's :

    252 ATK / 132 DEF / 128 SPD
     
    Nothing about the spread, but it's been proven that if you have a really high IV in attack, and if you EV train Metagross, Bullet Punch is better that Agiligross... Just saying...

    You obviously have never fought anybody who knows how to use agiligross...like Richard Steel. The spread...I think it needs 201 speed...whatever that is.
     
    Uh, I have fought a guy with Agiligross, and also Bullet Punch. They were equally difficult, but I killed Agiligross with an Earthquake from Gliscor, and I killed the Bullet Punching one with several Aura Sphere's from Togekiss. I would have been killed by it if it hadn't been for it being paralyzed 4 times in a row lol, thank god for serene grace :D
     
    Metagross @:Leichi Berry
    EV: 252 Atk/ 140 Spd/ 116 HP
    Adamant Nature
    -Earthquake
    -Meteor Mash
    -Agility
    -Thunderpunch/Zen Headbutt

    A set that potentially sweep teams. Your major problem would be Skarmory who you can 2 KO with a Leichi Berry Thunderpunch.
     
    I mean, the actual stat at level 100 being 201, not 201 EVs...sorry bout that

    I need to ev train it, so i'll use name's spread. It's 166. Or so the iv battle said. So 166+32=198. 160+35 ev's=201. (Got 35 from 140 divided by 4). I think i'll go with 140 speed/232 atk/128 hp. Edit: Or def.

    heh, well thank you!

    The ideal number to shoot for when it comes to Speed on Agiligross is 198 at level 100. That would guarantee that after a single Agility, Metagross will outrun everything with base 130 Speed, beneficial nature, and maxed EVs (such as Jolly Aerodactyl). Anything beyond base 130 is not really of interest. With perfect IVs, Metagross needs about 88 or so EVs minimum (I think Samson told me once). Generally 106 is a good EV number to shoot for, but with a 21 IV in Speed, it's definitely worth the extra EV investment just to make sure. I'd suggest taking it into WiFi battles to see when it reaches around 198 (you can start with 106 EVs in Speed, check, and then add more after that if needed, since after it reaches 198, the extra EVs would be useless). Once you do get an ideal number (198 is the bare minimum, I must stress), then the extra EVs should go into HP or Defense. Preferably HP, but I know people who choose to put extra EVs into Defense.

    I like hp. So, 198 speed/ How muc Hp here. Maybe 252? Ah. Never mind, he has 30 Hp Iv's. 204?

    Well, max out Attack before anything.

    Then tinker with his Speed until it reaches 198, at least.

    After that, put the rest into HP. Usually it's around 152 EVs in HP, but that could depend on how many you need for a good Speed stat.
