Metagross has extreme 4 move syndrome and now he is gonna need to make room for a stat boosting move.

>Metagross has four brains that are joined by a complex neural network. As a result of integration, this Pokémon is smarter than a supercomputer.

>Its turquoise-colored, discus-shaped main body appears to be its head, as it lies at the center point where its legs branch out to give the impression of a mechanized arachnid.

It definitely is supposed to be mechanical. Shift Gear would make sense.

Thats the problem
You either get Ice punch and get walled by Jellicent/Gastrodon/Milotic/Slowbro or get Thunderpunch and walled by Gliscor/Hippowdon/Tangela.

Meteor mash can now power through those pokemon thanks to the attack boost

Besides 2x effectiveness ice punch has the same power as stab meteor mash

No, +1 Meteor Mash wont help it. But STAB EQ wll RECK metagross. And it gets walled by water types which HINDERS STEEL.

Well, let's make a comparison

We have what are basically organic creatures with steel aspects like Excadrill, Empoleon, Lucario, and Scizor. And we have what are basically mechanical constructs that have steel as a primary type and are usually genderless: Magnezone, Klinklang, Registeel, Metagross

Shift gear would be a move that would fit the latter, would it not?

+1 Meteor Mash 77.73% chance to 2HKO to Physically defensive hippowdon, guaranteed 2HKO on Mixed Wall.

76.56% chance to 2HKO on Physically defensive Tangrowth
Guaranteed 3HKO on eviolite Tangela (95% to 2HKO with SR) But Tangela has nothing to hit back with.
Garanteed 2HKO on Physically defensive Gliscor

No, it's not. That's with life orb

>>12456371

That's a limited list, in that case. Also air balloon is obviously very fragile, if it loses air balloon before it takes out Metagross, it's a huge problem.

heatran with air balloon is a great emergency check to any pokemon that uses earth quake for coverage

It can't switch in directly though, because it risks having its balloon broken.
