Is this a good moveset for Metagross?

[PsychedelicJellyfish]

Metagross@Leftovers
Sassy nature

Meteor Mash
Psychic
Explosion
Rock Slide/Return/Light Screen/Agility <<<Which one? Please give suggestions.


The general idea of this set: Meteor Mash and Psychic are for sweeping. Explosion is for taking the opponent down with me when I have no other choice. as for the undecided moves: Rock Slide would combat the Fire weakness, Return would be another good sweeping move, Light Screen would futher heighten the special defence boost given by a Sassy nature, and Agility would boost speed, Metagross' worst stat.

Please give opinions. Feel free to call me a brainless, drooling idiot with no talent at creating movesets, if it's necessary.

EDIT: If you're reading this, Blazios, you'll probably have created a strategy to overcome this in ten seconds.

Not trying to be rude, but I asked for opinions on the moveset I created, not the recommended movesets that other people created.

Metagross without Earthquake is just a shame... Psychic may get STAB, but it doesn't give you much type coverage, whereas EQ covers your Fire weakness better than Rock Slide would. So I highly recommend EQ over Psychic. As for the 4th move, if you're giving it a Choice Band, give it Rock Slide/Sludge Bomb for the last move. Otherwise go with Agility.

If you want a new moveset...

Metagross @ Choice Band/Lum Berry
Trait: Clear Body
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -Sp.Atk)
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 6 HP
~ Meteor Mash
~ Earthquake
~ Explosion
~ Rock Slide/Agility

I prefer Rock Slide over Agility

Opinion on your moveset
Meteor Mash and Psychic to mix sweep is meh. Explosion is good, especially with Agility. Nature sucks, go Adamant. Psychic doesn't have ample coverage type, it just has STAB, so I suggest you use a CBGross.

Good moveset, bad EVs.

Here's the thing. Psychic may not be as powerful as it could be, but Metagross still has a base Special Attack of 95. That is still pretty high. So don't count Psychic out. I, personally, don't find Explosion incredibly useful on an already excellent sweeper. What I use is Meteor Mash, Earthquake, Psychic, and Agility. Get a speed boost and it can bring down many things.

Corrected. When in doubt, always choose Rock Slide. Metagross needs it to take care of Zapdos and Aerodactyl.

Metagross without Earthquake is just a shame...

I know, but I used it on a Dugtrio early in the game when I didn't know better.

If you have Emerald, use Pick Up w/ someone at Lv. 91+ iirc to get more EQ TMs.

a good metagross moveset is

metagross@adamant
-meteor mash
-agility
-earthquake
-rock slide/shadow ball/explosion

 

[aragornbird]

No that’s only Agiligross. You are forgetting CBGross, which works just as well as Agiligross, so neither is better than the other.
