rate my metagross, please?

[darkfire1502]

I'm just going to cut right to the chase:

Metagross (brave nature)
EVs> 252 atk., 126 HP, 130 def.
Item held: Life Orb

I'm a little sketchy on its exact stats because I am currently grounded from games and therefore don't have my game in front of me, but here goes...

HP-162
attack-196?
defense-lower 150s
special attack-could care less
sp. defense- around 100
speed- around 75

Moveset:

Meteor Mash
Agility
Earthquake
Explosion

I think what I have is a slower, more defensive Agiligross but the speed shouldn't pose too much of a problem, maybe use Agility an extra time (wasting a turn, I know).

Any suggestions as to how this Metagross could be better or, if necessary, start over? Be brutally honest, I can take it.

EDIT: this is on diamond version, btw

You need a full team to post here. If you are posting a set, post it in the Stratagy Pokedex forum.

However, Metagross doesn't want Brave nature. Also, unless those are Level 100 stats it really doesn't mean much. So yes, start over. And make a team.

nah, you can do just one pokemon or a whole team.

you're gonna (IMO) have an adamant nature, and if your pokemon isn't level 100 then, yeah don't post it.

Only Pokémon Researchers can post in the Strategy Dex. If you meant the topic, that's for actually usable things. If you want a single pokémon to be rated, your best bet is the Q/A thread.

Also, read the Strategy Dex for good (although old) sets. Your Metagross is fine (needs adamant though) but you may want to replace Explosion with another attacking move (that doesn't kill yourself) because you can't really sweep with just two moves, which is what Agiligross is for.

Really? Pardon my ignorance. Explains why there are so few posts.

thanks for the advice, I'll be sure to follow it the next time I get to play.

on a different note, I should have probably listed its current level, which is Lv. 50, sorry about that...

Why'd you make an Agiligross with a brave nature anyway?

Brave decreases speed...

Adamant nature would be best, since you don't have any special attacks.
