Metagross

In a metagame dominated by strong Fairy-types, Mega Metagross stands out as a powerful offensive Steel-type that can pivot in and break down an opposing team with minimal support. With a solid defensive typing, a diverse offensive movepool, and solid stats across the board, Mega Metagross finds itself in favorable matchups against several of the metagame's top-tier threats including Mega Salamence, most of the island guardians, and Kyurem-B. The ability Tough Claws delivers a 30% boost to most attacks in Mega Metagross's movepool, while Psychic Terrain and Electric Terrain can be leveraged for additional boosts to Zen Headbutt and Thunder Punch, respectively, making Mega Metagross an extremely potent attacker in the right situations. However, Mega Metagross's Steel / Psychic offensive typing offers it limited opportunities for super effective coverage, so it often finds itself relying on coverage moves or raw power to beat down its foes. Finally, Mega Metagross suffers from a small case of four-moveslot syndrome; while there is no shortage of coverage options in Mega Metagross's movepool to compensate for some of its weaknesses, no matter what it runs, it is likely to find itself walled by something.
