Meteor Mash Build Explanation

This is a full-offense build centered on bursting down targets with Meteor Mash and Magnet Rise, particularly their attack mechanic. The key to this build is combining Meteor Mash's punch and Magnet Rise's crash damage into one powerful attack.

• Muscle Band adds a HP-based bonus damage on Metagross' Meteor Mash attack, improving its burst damage.
• Razor Claw adds another layer of bonus damage on Metagross' Meteor Mash attack and giving it a slow effect.
• Attack Weight provides Metagross with a large Attack stat boost, increasing its overall damage output.
• Weakness Policy can be a replacement for Attack Weight. Although it gives less damage, it does boosts Metagross' HP.
• Eject Button gives Metagross a repositioning tool that can be used with Magnet Rise.
• X Speed can also work for the build, allowing Metagross to move faster and become immune to slows during Magnet Rise.
• The build's Boost Emblem loadout should consist of 6 Brown Emblems for more damage and 6 White Emblems additional HP. This can be achieved by having at least two (2) Emblems that are both Brown and White.
• Equip Emblems that improve Attack or HP to balance out Metagross' offense and defense.
• Sp. Atk., Sp. Def., and Defense can be freely traded for the other stats.

Meteor Mash Build Damage Test

Items (Level 30)	Meteor Mash (@ Lvl 15) Meteor Mash (Max Punch) (@ Lvl 15)	Magnet Rise (@ Lvl 15)
Muscle Band + Razor Claw (Incldues effect) + Attack Weight (6 stacks)	1940 3345	2520

Since the build is centered on Meteor Mash, equipping items that will maximize its damage is the ideal item combination.

Out of all the item combinations, Muscle Band, Razor Claw, and Attack Weight will be the best for the build. The item combination generated the highest Meteor Mash punch and Magnet Rise damage.

As for alternatives, replacing Attack Weight with Weakness Policy would be the ideal choice. The item combination produced results that are just slightly lower than the recommended build, but it doesn't require Metagross to stack items to gain the maximum bonus damage.

Gyro Ball Explanation

This build is centered on stunning opponents with Magnet Rise or Zenn Headbutt while constantly generating shields with Gyro Ball. It has a good balance of offense and defense through items.

• Muscle Band improves Metagross' attacks through increased damage and attack speed, allowing it to quickly build up Boosted Attacks and reduce Gyro Ball's cooldown.
• Weakness Policy allows Metagross to get stronger whenever it gets hits by opponents. It also gives a decent amount of HP for more durability.
• Focus Band makes Metagross more durable through increased defenses. It also acts as a survivability tool.
• Attack Weight can be a replacement for Focus Band to make the build into a pure-offense one.
• Eject Button gives Metagross a repositioning tool that can be used with Magnet Rise.
• X Speed can also work for the build, allowing Metagross to move faster and become immune to slows during Magnet Rise.
• The build's Boost Emblem loadout should consist of 6 Brown Emblems for more damage and 6 White Emblems additional HP. This can be achieved by having at least two (2) Emblems that are both Brown and White.
• Equip Emblems that improve Attack or HP to balance out Metagross' offense and defense.
• Sp. Atk., Sp. Def., and Defense can be freely traded for the other stats.

Gyro Ball Damage Test

Items (Level 30)	Gyro Ball (@ Lvl 15)	Magnet Rise (@ Lvl 15)

Since the build is centered on Gyro Ball, equipping items that will maximize its damage is the ideal item combination. Focus Band is a core item for the build, leaving only two (2) items for consideration.

Out of all the item combinations, Muscle Band and Weakness Policy will be the best for the build. The item combination produced decent results and is better suited for the build's gameplay.

Tank Build Explanation

This is a all-defensive build that utilizes Metagross' shield-generating moves to tank as much damage as possible for its allies. By default, Metagross will be using Gyro Ball and Magnet Rise as its moveset, but it can use any move combination for the build.

• Aeos Cookie provides Metagross with a large HP boost, especially when fully stacked.
• Focus Band improves Metagross' durability through increased defenses and acts as a survivability tool.
• Resonant Guard allows Metagross to generate additional shields whenever it deals damage, which stacks on top of its own. It also gives a decent amount of HP boost and HP recovery.
• Potion acts as an active healing tool that prolongs Metagross' life during fights.
• The build's Boost Emblem loadout should consist of 6 Brown Emblems for more damage and 6 White Emblems additional HP. This can be achieved by having at least two (2) Emblems that are both Brown and White.
• Equip Emblems that improve Attack or HP to balance out Metagross' offense and defense.
• Sp. Atk., Sp. Def., Defense, and Critical-Hit Rate can be freely traded for the other stats.

Tank Build Durability Test

Items (Level 30)	HP (@ Lvl 15)	Sp. Def (@ Lvl 15) Defense (@ Lvl 15)
Aeos Cookie (6 stacks) + Focus Band + Resonant Guard	10,040	400 535

Since this is a tank build, equipping items that will maximize Metagross' durability is the ideal item combination.

Out of all the item combinations, Aeos Cookie, Focus Band, and Resonant Guard will be the best for the build. Although its results are the same as having Buddy Barrier instead of Resonant Guard, having the bonus HP recovery and the ability to generate shields when dealing damage are far more benefitial for Metagross and better suits its gameplay.

Best Moveset

Move	Explanation
Meteor Mash	Meteor Mash gives Metagross a strong AoE damage tool with a bit of range. Its punch mechanic is also a great burst damage tool.
Magnet Rise	Magnet Rise allows Metagross to quickly maneuver around during fights. Its secondary activation can also become a strong area move.

This moveset gives Metagross better overall damage and utility, and contains a special interaction when used together. Meteor Mash deals more damage compared to Gyro Ball thanks to its punch mechanic and is easier to use. Magnet Rise is objectively a better mobility tool for Metagross compared to Zen Headbutt. Instead of needing a target to dash, the move simply gives the Pokemon a movement speed boost, which is easier to utilize. It can also turn into a strong crowd control thanks to its attack mechanic.

Meteor Mash and Gyro Ball are Metagross' primary damage and shield-generating moves. The core difference between the moves is that Meteor Mash tends to be more of an offensive move due to the amount of damage it can deal. Gyro Ball, on the other hand, tends to be more defensive in nature since the shield it generates can turn into HP once it's upgraded.

Magnet Rise and Zen Headbutt are Metagross' utility or mobility moves. Both provide Metagross maneuverability and some damage during fights but comes in different forms. Magnet Rise gives Metagross mobility in the form of a movement speed buff and can turn into a AoE damage move thanks to its attack mechanic. Meanwhile, Zen Headbutt comes in the form of a dash move and deals damage to the first target it hits.

How to Play Metagross

Jump to Section
Utilize Initial Moveset
Take the Frontlines
Utilize Boosted Attacks
Combine Meteor Mash's Punch and Magnet Rise's Attack
Catch Multiple Opponents with Compute and Crush

Utilize Initial Moveset

Metagross' starting moves give the Pokemon incredible mobility, defense, and damage in the early game. Utilize them to give Metagross' team a strong start by pressuring opponents and scoring points.

Win Early Engagements with Iron Defense

Iron Defense grants Metagross a shield and makes its next attack into a Boosted Attack. Utilize the shield to mitigate damage, and use the Boosted Attack to quickly deplete the opponents' HP and win fights.

Iron Defense: Metagross Move Effect and Cooldown

Utilize Tackle's Long Range

Tackle's range is extremely long, especially for a starting move. Utilize the move's range to chase down opponents or escape in the early game. Remember that Metagross will only dash if it finds a target in a line, so when using Tackle to escape, be sure there are wild Pokemon nearby first.

Tackle: Metagross Move Effect and Cooldown

Take the Frontlines

Metagross' Meteor Mash, Gyro Ball, and Unite Move all generate shields that get stronger the more opponents they hit. Moreover, its ability, Clear Body, reduces the duration of hindrance effects that's based on the number of nearby opponents. With that, it's best to stay and fight at the frontlines to hit as many opponents as possible and take advantage of the shields and Metagross' ability, allowing the Pokemon to tank the opponents' damage instead of its allies. This will also give more room for Metagross' allies to attack freely.

Keep using Metagross' shield-generating moves to stay alive while also dealing damage constantly.

Utilize Boosted Attacks

Metagross' Boosted Attacks deal area damage, and it reduces Meteor Mash or Gyro Ball's cooldown whenever it hits an opponent. It's best to quickly build up Boosted Attacks and trigger its effect as frequently as possible, especially the cooldown reduction.

Combine Meteor Mash's Punch and Magnet Rise's Attack for Burst Damage

One neat trick to deal a ton of burst damage is to combine Meteor Mash's punch and Magnet Rise's attack mechanic into one strong attack. This will also deal area damage, which is useful for farming groups of wild Pokemon and fighting multiple opponents.

Catch Multiple Opponents with Compute and Crush

Since the shield strengthens the more opponents are scanned when Compute and Crush is used, it's best to find the best position for Metagross to use Compute and Crush to maximize its shield effect.

Magnetic Spin Combo

Magnetic Spin Combo
► ►
Magnet Rise ► Standard Attack ► Gyro Ball
Start by activating Magnet Rise to give Metagross a movement speed boost and alter its attack.

Close the Gap

Ranged, Fragile Pokemon with High Damage
How to Beat
• These Pokemon prefer to keep their distance from opponents when fighting. They also have high damage potential that can shred through Metagross' shields quickly. However, they are fragile and can get knocked out by Metagross fast once it gets close. • Quickly close the gap with Magnet Rise or Zen Headbutt, then burst them down with Meteor Mash or Gyro Ball. • Use Compute and Crush to finish them off should they survive the initial assault.

Keep Generating Shields

All-Rounders
How to Beat
• These Pokemon excel in close combat and rely mostly on their attacks or combos to deal damage. They are also durable enough to survive Metagross damage. However, they have little to no stuns to prevent Metagross from constantly generating shields. • Keep using Meteor Mash or Gyro Ball to generate shield and absorb their damage while dealing damage in return. • Utilize Metagross' Boosted Attacks to deal increased damage and reduce Meteor Punch or Gyro Ball's cooldown while brawling.

Dodge Their Burst Damage

High-mobility Pokemon with Burst Damage
How to Beat
• These Pokemon are incredibly agile and deal high burst damage. However, they become vulnerable when they miss their burst damage attempt. • Use Zen Headbutt or Magnet Rise to dodge their burst damage, then retaliate with Meteor Mash or Gyro Ball to burst them down. • Alternatively, Compute and Crush can be used to finish them off should they survive Metagross' retaliation.

Utilize Their Numbers

Supporters
How to Beat
• These Pokemon usually stick with their allies and rarely venture alone. Although they themselves pose no threat to Metagross, their support capabilities makes them valuable during fights. • Take advantage of them being in close proximity to each other by using Meteor Mash or Gyro Ball and Compute and Crush to generate shields while dealing damage to them.

Group Up with Allies

Highly Durable Pokemon
How to Beat
• These Pokemon are extremely durable, making it a tedious task for Metagross to take them down alone. With that, it's best to group up with allies to bring them down with the help of Metagross. • Use Zen Headbutt or Magnet Rise to stay on top of them. • Use Meteor Mash or Gyro Ball to deplete their HP.
