Metagross

Metagross excels in the Uber metagame thanks to its excellent offenses, bulk, and defensive typing, giving it a strong case for being included on nearly any kind of team. Offensively, its mighty Meteor Mash is one of the most difficult attacks in the tier to switch into, and it has all of the coverage it could ask for to complement it and threaten common switch-ins. In addition, its Explosion is among the most powerful attacks in the game, threatening to OHKO nearly any foe that doesn't resist it, and it can also be a menacing late-game cleaner with Agility. Defensively, Metagross's Steel / Psychic typing and great natural bulk let it check several of the most terrifying threats in the tier, such as Deoxys-A, Snorlax, Latios, and Latias, and its access to Pursuit makes it the most popular choice for trapping Deoxys-A. However, although it's great at performing many roles, Metagross is also notable for not being the best at any single thing: as an attacker, it's overshadowed by Groudon in terms of Speed, bulk, and sheer power, and Forretress offers more on the defensive side due to its superior Defense, Bug and Ghost resistances and access to Spikes and Rapid Spin. Metagross's Speed is also on the lower side by Uber standards, leaving it outsped and threatened by many of the tier's heaviest hitters.
