Meteor Mash Effect

Has the user charge power in its fist, dealing damage to opposing Pokemon in an area of effect while granting itself a shield. The more opposing Pokemon this move hits, the more the shield effect is strengthened and the more damage the user deals with its next basic attack. This next basic attack hits with a hard punch fired like a meteor, dealing damage to opposing Pokemon in an area of effect.

How to Use Meteor Mash

Hit Multiple Targets

Hit as many targets as possible when using Meteor Mash. Aside from dealing damage to multiple targets, the move's punch damage and shield gets stronger the more enemies it hits, particularly opponents. Hitting both wild Pokemon and opponents would be the best way to maximize the move's effects.

Tip:
Since Meteor Mash hits targets in a line, try to find the best angle to use it so that the move hits as many targets as possible.

Don't Forget to Use the Follow-Up Punch

Metagross' follow-up punch after using Meteor Mash deals a really strong damage in an area. It's best to always follow up with an attack after using Meteor Mash to take advantage of the powerful punch, especially during teamfights. Moreover, once the move is upgraded, the punch also heals Metagross.

Note:
Remember that there is a time window for Metagross to use the punch before the effect expires.

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.
