This mon was showcased in James Baek’s recent video, but paired with… Mega Eelectross? I felt like it was doing this broken set a disservice keeping it trapped with the eel. This is my Coaching Blaziken plus Mega Lucario Team

Metagross?

silvercactus-53

Yeah

happycandle-57 OP

Lucario actually does more damage

happycandle-57 OP

Plus you need access to the 120bp move as a kill button at +1

happycandle-57 OP

Metagross doesn’t get a stab 120bp move

happycandle-57 OP

Besides like steel roller which is never getting used

happycandle-57 OP

Your best option is like hard press which is 100bp only if they have full hp

happycandle-57 OP

Lucario does fold like a wet paper towel tho

happycandle-57 OP

Idk if there is a better redirector
