Ok here it is...

Abilitie: Clear Body
Nature: Adamant
Moves:Metor Mash
Aerial Ace
Psychic
Pursiut-I know i cant keep it and im in a "pickle" should i move tutor gross rock slide or explosion?

Pokémon Breeder
Meteor Mash
Earthquake
Rock Slide/filler
Explosion/filler
 
Metagross (Adamant Nature) @Leftovers/Choice Band
EVs: 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 6 Hp (I THINK)
-EQ
-Explosion
-Meteor Mash
-Agility/Rock Slide/Shadow Ball/Sludge Bomb

Agility is fun. Speed up, then attack. Metagross's Sp.Attack isn't as good as its Physical attack, so you don't need Psychic. Besides, you'll do more damage with Meteor Mash (or the other options)

If you want the Choice Band set, go with the other otions in the Agility slot.
 
I'm not big on using Explosion (it's helpful but I'd rather not in-game)

Metagross @ Leftovers
EVs: HP 129, Att 252, Spd 129 (not good spreads but their not to bad)
Admant Trait (+Att, -Sp Att)
Moves:
-Meteor Mash
-Sludge Bomb
-Earthquake
-Agility

if you use agiligross, don't use 252 speed EVs. you only need enough to get to 198 speed before agility, so you can be faster than jolteon/aerodactyl/crobat after it. put the extra in special defense or HP, it's already got good defense.

yeh rock slide is a good one, since metagross' only weakness is fire. oh and ground. dammit.
fire? you mean those pesky things that're dealt with by EQ, which a) is stronger and b) doesn't miss 10% of the time?

rock slide super-effective on something - 75*2 = 150 power
Meteor Mash with STAB, neutral-effective - 100*1.5 = 150 power

DO NOT USE BRICK BREAK/ROCK SLIDE ON METAGROSS, OR ANY NORMAL-TYPE. RETURN/MM IS JUST AS GOOD.

Rock Slide is better than Shadow Ball/Sludge Bomb Atleast, since it hcan hit Gyara/Zappy and it has flinchhax.
