What's a good moveset for Metagross?

[Desert_Rose]

This is (amazingly enough) my first time to raise a metagross and use it in my team. So I was wondering, what's a good moveset for one. I'm already planning on Psychic and Meteor Mash. Any suggestions?

Edit: Sorry about the double thread earlier. I accidentally hit post twice. *__*

Don't make duplicate threads kid. Agility can work on Metagross but I'm no good at movesets.

Hmm... You could possibly teach Metagross Earthquake or Sludgebomb with the TMs. Then it would have four strong attacks all of a different type.

Either go with Nine, or go with this:

Adamant Nature @ Leftovers
Agility
Meteor Mash
Earthquake
Rawk Slide

Metagross@Leftovers
Moves:

^ more like @ choice band

Nine Thou, and chaos952's are the best

but as an alternitive you could have;

Psychic
Meteor Mash
Explosion
thunderpunch/hp fire/hp grass

although it is kind of redundant in game, as t-punch/hp fire are for skarmory, while hp grass catches swampert out, more suited for competitive battling, but i suppose it could work in-game

Metagross @ Choice Band
Adamant Nature (+Atk., -SAtk)
- Meteor Mash
- Shadow Ball
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide

Needs more explosion>Shadowball :/

Metagross has one simple function on my game: Blow up Snorlax/Blissey. Thats it, I don't really care about Meteor Mash, I'd much rather sacrafice him and save the PP of trying to kill a tank.

lol,WTF? why would you blow up on them if you can beat them one-on-one. The only useful thing to explode on is suicune

pretty pointless when meteor mash 2hko's them and they can't 2hko you

more like explode on suicune

Thanks for your help. I still plan to use Psychic and Meteor Mash and from your answers, I can see that Earthquake is heartily agreed on (even though I already have two other pokemon in with it) and I like the look of Hidden Power. I'll figure out what it has soon enough. Thanks for all your suggestions.

Would someone close this thread please? Please and thank you.

NOTE: Use psychic only on the special set
