I am having a large amount of success with this dnite metagross team so I wanted to share it incase anybody was interested in it or had any suggestions.
Safegaurd, roar and surf are all def not used that much but I like having options but I don't like theire alternatives as much.
The stats are also prob not optimal but they are calced, I am split between speed boosting whims and special attack boosting whims cuz I like the increased damage output but the speed is pretty important
THIS IS NOT A TEAM THAT NEEDS MUCH WORK changing it, I have made a small alteration in making metagross a bit more defensively bulky to ohko most kingambits, but thats abt it
Do not ping '@teambuilders' I don't rly need the help, just posting this if people are interested in it
The energy ball think is cuz of swampert, you can prob use psychic noise or thunderbolt in its place tbh, but I like thhe extra insurence
Love the araquanid! Why do you have surf on it? And how often do you find making use of wide guard?
I use wide gaurd decently often but obv mostly spam liquidation
Ive been eyeing it too and wasnt sure whether i should try a mostly supportive function or like yours
I put surf on it cuz there just aren't many better moves for it to use rn. Leech life is the usual best option but there are no popular pokemon who both resist water and are weak to bug rn. Since both whims and sinistcha are nuetral to bug
And with mystic water, araquanid will still hit harder with the liquidation anyway so I put surf as a semi incin counter with the possibility to be used against pokemon who Ik will die to it without ignoring the other and while ignoring redirection
That does make sense
If the rilla comes back I might switch tho
I saw it gets access to power split and something in me wants to use that for some stupid shenanigans
Why colbur vs sitrus on farig?
Personal choice, just like sitrus incin more
Solid team 💯
This one
Oh shoot this is supposed to say hyper-balance not hyper-offence
I am stupid asf
