Coaching Metagross Team Discussion
Summary
In Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments this announcement sparks a coaching Metagross build discussion. Members compare a non-rain team with Mega Dragonite, Mega Metagross, Incineroar, Primarina, Sinistcha-style support and Sneasler, debating rain cores, adding Swampert/Arch, Pelipper role versus sun, and Sableye screens and encore utility.
A pretty meta idea, wondering what changes I should make?

add arch and swampert for basc and sneasler and add rain dance on sableye
I use coaching metagross too
atp don’t use a rain core
Then its just rain and kills the whole point of the team.
Pelipper is only here to get rid of yards sun
basically
yh but you can run rain and meta

Thats just standard rain
ii could send you my rain team with metagross if you need
Obv I need dnite cuz yknow favouritism
Ofc
I already have one
yh but why using a rain core with no swamp or arc?
Because its not a rain core
this is nice
pelipper basc?
Sableye is incredible for screens and encore disable, and pelipper makes the sun matchup even playable
Basc is on every team
Ok Ik this is the like 3rd one of your teams I've said this on but this time it makes a lot of sense
You could run dnite
😭
i use rain with sableye tbh
So do I
You are using rain and dnite pairs rly well with metagross defencively
and why are you trying to build a metagross team with a rain core almost🤦🏻♂️

Wait no I didn't mean to use frosslass, they cover offensively but share the same weaknesses
Blastoise is a special attacker with the ability to threaten ghost with dark pulse
