Why they destroyed my cutie Metagross?
There are just 2 things what would help him stay in OU.

1. Mega Evolution Is Steel/Fairy (ya I know it's strange but it's the only good type coverage for it)

or
2. He can learn now Shift Gear

the steel type nerf hit it very hard, it hast now dark and ghost weakness.. so 4 main type weaknesses is pretty stupid for a pretty slow pokemon like metagross, even with pretty nice bulky stats.

What the hell? Just because it isn't in OU it isn't competitively viable?

OU is a fucking shit tier anyway.

Falling from OU =/= Becoming shit

It just means it shines brighter in the lower tier. So don't worry, Metagross is still a fine Pokemon. OU is at least in this metagame fucking boring and not diverse with all its retarded weather bullshit and Terrakion faggotry.

Just stop bitching and have fun with your bro in the new tier.

>Can't use UU pokemon in OU

Says who?

Nigger I was rocking Sandslash in OU as soon as Dril was banned. Only recently has he been considered for OU.

Secondly, People use Heracross and Machamp in OU all the time.

Get good at predictions fag

Who cares about Metagross? Its a good pokemon no matter what. All that I care about is the fate of poor hydreigon because of the cancerous fairy type.

where do you check competitive tiers nowadays?

Asking in another way, what rules do you follow, from which site?
I only battled competitively in Gen 4 and we used smogon, but there's nothing for Gen 6 in there yet

I agree, any Pokemon in a tier less than OU is seriously impossible for me to like. How can anyone like anything that's so fucking weak? It's mind-boggling.

Quoted By:

I personally think he will be fine. Dark moves are not used much besides those that get STAB on it (except Lucario, but his STAB Close Combat has the same BP as Crunch) , and those that do use it without STAB often use Pursuit which has a low BP. Ghost moves are much harder since a lot more Pokemon use it in conjunction with Fighting to get neutral coverage. Thankfully the most common users, Gengar and Alakazam are frail and are easily KO'd by Bullet Punch. Not only that, his Steel STAB along with Choice Band allows him to murder Fairy types that try to wall a fellow Dragon Pokemon, mainly Togekiss who is immune to both Dragon and Ground moves and whose SDef is good enough to take Fire Blasts from them.

I suggest pairing him up with either Hydreigon, Salamence, or Dragonite. They compliment his weaknesses (especially Hydreigon) and Metagross can eliminate Fairy types for them.
