Strategy Overview
Mega Metagross is one of the most fearsome threats in the CAP metagame. Its wonderful defensive typing gives it a massive nine resistances, including Fairy, as well as an immunity to Poison. Furthermore, its monstrous base 150 Defense and 110 Special Defense stats give it a major amount of bulk. Its offensive STAB combination is great, with Steel and Psychic working well together and threatening Fairy-types. In addition to this, Mega Metagross has a huge base 145 Attack stat and a good base 110 Speed stat. Its movepool perfectly complements its great power, and Tough Claws boosts the power of many of its moves. Mega Metagross can serve two roles on a team; it can be used as a strong wallbreaker or a speedy late-game sweeper. Either way, it can take down many powerful threats in the CAP metagame, such as Mega Altaria and Clefable, and it also can use its amazing movepool to deal with potential threats, such as Colossoil and Heatran. However, Mega Metagross is greatly hampered by four-moveslot syndrome, as it wants to fit all of its moves to take on all of its checks, but it simply cannot. For example, if Mega Metagross does not run Hammer Arm, Ferrothorn can severely wall it, and if Grass Knot is not there, then Mega Slowbro can also completely wall Mega Metagross.
