OK this is the single worst thread ever started. GIVE US WHAT YOU HAVE FIRST OF ALL!

Always give your own moveset and all that if you want anyone to rate. Take a look at the threads around you.

You're basically interfering to Metagross?

Metagross isn't really a sweeper pokemon without a boost.

Metagross @ Choice Scarf
Nature: Adamant
-Meteor Mash
-Zen Headbutt
-Explosion
-Earthquake

You have Choice Scarf for speed giving it the sweeper status. Along with 2 stab attacks. Meteor Mash and Zen Headbutt. Explosion for major damage for pokemon like Blissey and Earthquake for fire types which Metagross dislikes. A example. Infernape.

And for EV spread. One that gives it more of a sweeper boost.

252 Attack / 252 Speed / 4 HP

Bleach and Sunshine, Choice Scarf Metagross isn't a great idea since Metagross isn't fast enough to outspeed all the standards. If you want a fast Metagross, use AgiliGross.

Metagross @Leftovers
EVs: 148 HP / 252 Atk / 110 Spd
Adamant Nature
-Meteor Mash
-Earthquake
-Explosion
-Agility

One of the most popular Metagross sets. Metagross's lowest stat is its Speed, but with one Agility, it can outrun virtually any opponent and wreak havoc with it's awesome Attack. Explosion is great on the AgiliGross as it allows it to take down tough-to-beat opponents even when you are at low health. Thunderpunch is useful since it prevents Skarmory and Gyarados from walling you.

Metagross @Choice Band
EVs: 152 HP / 232 Atk / 16 Def / 108 Spd
Adamant Nature
-Meteor Mash
-Earthquake
-Explosion
-Thunderpunch/Pursuit/Bullet Punch

Another popular set. Meteor Mash and Earthquake cover most of the threats in competitive battling. Again, Explosion is used to go out with a bang when Metagross can't make it anymore. Thunderpunch for Skarm/Gyara, Pursuit prevents foes from fleeing unscathed, and Bullet Punch is a nice surprise for weakened opponents who are faster than you.

I like my Metagross with Agility and cheese.

Rockslide/EQ takes care of a lot of pokemon.

Along with EQ/Hammerarm/T-punch.

Rock Slide and EQ is only good on Pokemon that get STAB on Rock or Ground. Metagross is neither.

Hammer Arm is unneccesary when Meteor Mash already takes care of Rocks/Ice and Earthquake already takes care of Steels/Rocks. The only thing its really effective against are Normals, and there is really NO Normal type that will want to switch into a Metagross.

hammer arm is an option over earthquake. the meteor mash+agility+hammer arm+t-punch works just as well as the set with earthquake really except the -1speed from hammer arm sucks.

hammer arm is mostly good for those who cant get thunderpunch i suppose. it does neutral damage to skarmories.
