Battle Pike Metagross

[Shiney_Hunter_Tauros_Rule]

Hi
I was thinking of trying the Battle Pike and heard Metagross was good for getting the Silver Symbol.
I thought of this one:

Metagross Adamant

Meteor Mash (For Shuckle)
Psychic (For Seviper)
Shadow Ball
Brick Break (For Milotic to get around Mirror Coat)

Please do not suggest:
Hidden Power
TMs that cannot be bought at the Megamart/Game Corner in R/LG/(E?)
Move Tutors

You need EQ instead of Psychic. Use a pokemon with pickup to get it:

Metagross@Leftovers
Adamant
Meteor Mash
EQ
Shadow Ball
Iron Defense (Good for later)

EBoxer

Metagross Adamant

Meteor Mash (For Shuckle)
Psychic (For Seviper)
Shadow Ball
Brick Break (For Milotic to get around Mirror Coat)

First off, If you are running a Mixed set on Metagross, please give it a Brave Nature.
Brick Break is ****, Use EQ over that.

oh, and only Psychic can get mirror coated. All the rest are physical moves.

I used metagross in the battle pike and it had
Metagross@lefties
Nature: adamant
meteor mash
EQ
shadowball
Iron Defense

Isn't that exactly what I just suggested?

EBoxer

my fault i didn't read all of the posts just the first one

EQ kills Seviper in one hit. Meteor Mash kills Shuckle easily. and Explosion KOes Milotic. If u cant get explosion use a few EQs. Metagross can suually survive a hit or two from Milotic.

 

[magnemiteZ]

2 and end up on low health.

Yeah, actually, Aligross is the best way to go.

Move Tutors

purly phisical and you still get to ko everyone

 

[magnemiteZ]

Earthquake, Meteor Mash, Explosion and Agility.

 

[Shiney_Hunter_Tauros_Rule]

Explosion is a move tutor though. I would be willing to use Self Destruct from XD however. Would that work?

 

[magnemiteZ]

I suppose so, but it doesn't pack as much of a punch
imo give that to a random Snorlax, and just save enough battle points up to get Explosion.

 

[Shiney_Hunter_Tauros_Rule]

But you dont get it with bp. It is a move tutor in Paciflidog.

 

[magnemiteZ]

lol
I don't know What I was thinking of.
my bad.

 

[Shiney_Hunter_Tauros_Rule]

So should I go with:
Adament
Earthquake
Meteor Mash
SD
Agility (unlikely to use but)

 

[magnemiteZ]

Agility will help when you want to go boom. Makes sure you get the first strike.
But yeah, that seems fine.

 

[Overheat Hothead]

Earthquake, Meteor Mash, Explosion and Agility.

go with that set with leftovers and a Adamant Nature.
When Seviper comes out just use Agility untill your faster than Seviper and Milotic. Then Earthquake it to death. When the next Pokemon comes out (probably Milotic) just Meteor Mash it to death. When Shuckles out one Meteor Mash and it will most likely faint, but if it doesn't Explode on it and it will go down.

[WhiteWizard42]

meteor mash does less damage than EQ on milotic, because water resists steel.

oh yeah sorry i forget that sometimes i'll edit my post.
