Strategy Overview
- Solid defensive typing and high Defense allow Metang to switch into many physical attackers
- Deep movepool, including utility moves such as Stealth Rock, Reflect, Light Screen, and STAB priority
- Forced to run specific attacks, meaning Metang will always be walled by something
- Unimpressive Attack makes Metang a largely mediocre wallbreaker
- Low Speed and weaknesses to common offensive types such as Fire and Ground make it easy to revenge kill
