⚔️ Raids

Metagross is one of the strongest additions to Pokémon GO, doing full justice to its Pseudo Legendary status in the meta.

Backed with great offense and bulk, this Steel/Psychic-type is a well-rounded attacker, particularly in the Steel department where it excels with the powerful Meteor Mash 🔩. While its sheer damage output is not as massive as a Psychic-type attacker, it can still do double duty pretty well. Last but not least, Metagross boasts a whopping 10 type resistances, making it a tough Pokémon to beat 💪

Bullet Punch and Meteor Mash make it one of the better counters to Fairy, Ice, and Rock-type Raid Bosses. However, it is now outclassed by other behemoths like Dusk Mane Necrozma, Crowned Dogs, not to forget Mega and Shadow Metagross themselves. Having said that, Metagross is relatively easy to power-up and is still a force to be reckoned with. 💯

🛡️ Gyms

With 10 resistances and great bulk, Metagross is a reasonable Gym Defender while also being a pro at clearing Gyms in a jiffy.

• Ultra League:Shadow ClawMeteor MashEarthquake
• Master League:Shadow ClawMeteor MashEarthquake

Metagross is an extremely resourceful 'mon in PvP, taking advantage of its impressive moveset, stats, and typing to be a worthy addition to any team.

It can break apart cores consisting of Fairy, Dragon, and other Steel types, though it needs to be wary of these opponents packing moves that do super-effective damage.

Meteor Mash is its weapon of choice, but for the second move, it can go with Earthquake for coverage against fellow Steel types and a powerful move in general, or Psychic for low-cost STAB damage. This flexibility makes it a sound choice 👍

🔵 Great League

Metagross' high stats make it underwhelming for the Great League.

🟡 Ultra League

Better than the Great League, Metagross flexes its steely grit better in this format. However, it just feels not strong enough due to the CP limit.

🟣 Master League

Master League is Metagross' home through and through, where it fulfills its offensive + defensive role the best. Getting access to Shadow Claw has been a boon for Metagross, helping it reclaim its lost glory. It is back to being a top pick for Master League. Powering up a Metagross is way easier and cheaper, so Trainers can go for this Pseudo Legendary and grab some cool GBL wins 🏆
