Jolly Metagross, is it worth making?


Recommended Posts

i actually have one because i was trying to baton pass ninjask boosts to him and sweep e4 but still have to switch on some pokemon

 

almost full coverage:

 

Metagross @ Life Orb
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- IcePunch
- Brick Break or Hammer Arm
- Earthquake or Rock Slide
- ThunderPunch

 

( Haxorus is probabily a better choice for Mold Breaker )

 

other that it can be useful if you want the surprise effect, also someday (maybe) all metagross go Jolly for the mega

I dont think Jolly Agility Metagross is exactly good. It has tough time one shotting even the things it wants to outspeed with Agility unless it holds Life Orb - and with that, getting a lot of hits off can be near impossible considering you might have to take a lot of damage on the set up turn.

 

I think Metagross is best as bulky Mixed sweeper / wallbreaker. Thanks to Grass Knot it can threaten Hippowdon and Swampert more than Scizor can and with Zen Headbutt it can destroy Tentacruel, another sorta-check to Scizor. I think that is the only upside to Metagross compared to some alternatives, especially what comes to fully physical set it's almost every way a worse Scizor.
