Who is your physical tank?

Mixed Infernape can KO alot here, and so can Heracross, Electivire, Gyara etc.

What makes you think that your enemy will keep the SPECIAL wall (Blissey, Cresselia etc) out against a PHYSICAL attacker like Zangoose? They will switch to their physical tank.
 
My Metagross is my Phys. tank, as far as my knowledge of competitive team roles go (not far =/)

I need a guide or somthin that lists the roles.
 
Threat list incredibly flawed. Just because something has a Super effective attack, does not make it a counter. A counter is a pokemon, who can switch into the Pokemon it is countering, survive, and pose an immediate threat to them.

There is no way magmortar is switching into Gyarados. Swampert only counters Physical Infernape, so I'll give you that much, but special and mixfernape kill it.

There is also no way a Zangoose is a Medicham counter with Hi-jump kick in it's movesets.

Just because it has a super effective move on it, it does not mean it is a counter!!!!!!!

~Psychic is pretty much pointless on Cresselia, even with the STAB. Just add Grass Knot since it doubles as a Suicune killer as well. If I remember correctly, Grass Knot has 120 BP on Suicune.

~Porygon2 works as a Gyarados Counter. It also works as a Dugtrio counter seeing as Trace will keep Dugtrio from running away, and Icebeam will kill it.

~Rock Polish, and all Stat-up moves in general are stupid on CB/Sers like your Metagross. Add Pursuit on it. Also Explosion>Zenbutt
 
Thanks for the insight =/

Because of Piphler, I switched my Explosion into Rock Polish.
So, should I replace Rock Polish with Explosion, or Pursuit?

I also used my grass knot TM on Empoleon =/ can I get another somewhere, or do I have to put Energy Ball...

Could you still also help me with the held items?
 
Zenheadbutt AND rock Polish should be taken out for those two. Makes Metagross one mean Alakazam counter. Explode on random stuff.

You can try Charge beam instead for the sake of increasing power, which will eventually hurt suicune enough
