Metagross x Rain: Team Feedback & Scrafty Swap
Summary
The Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments server community collaborates on optimizing a Metagross and Rain-based competitive team. This discussion covers strategic replacements like Scrafty over Incineroar for better rain synergy and the inclusion of Rotom-Wash for improved type coverage. It serves as a valuable resource for players looking to refine their VGC team compositions through community-driven feedback and tactical analysis.
hello
now I have never made a VGC team and I would like to have feedback about this.

Incinaroar just doesn't fit on that team if you're having rain up alot, replace him with scrafty who gets pretty much the same tools, or with a rain sweeper
Incise covers me when it's not raining, and it also helps with Steel-type moves. Plus, Intimidate.
Scraggy does pretty much the same except he still has knock off and isnt weakened by rain
you could run something like this
Scrafty @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Intimidate
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Fake Out
- Close Combat
- Parting Shot
- Knock Off
That may be, but the problem is that I get a x4 boost to the fairy and it only has 65 HP
And that actually scares me a little.
However, it's not a bad option.
he has mega mettagross, i dont think fairies are big problems for his team
yayaa, but there's also dragapult
fair, but i'm put on the fact mettagross should beat almost any fairy, and most fairies are physical attackers so you wouldn't really bring in intimidate users against them
maybe this a better scraffty
Scrafty @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Intimidate
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Fake Out
- Close Combat
- Coaching
- Knock Off
I hope they don't take away the coaching.
After reviewing everything, I think this is the best electric type.
Rotom-Wash @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
Tera Type: Electric
EVs: 252 HP / 140 SpA / 4 SpD / 80 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Thunder
- Hydro Pump
- Will-O-Wisp
- Trick

Here's the second version of the team; I changed a few things. What I would say is the improvement is the changes that allow for better mediation with Archaludon.
By whom?
