Does there truly exist a worse fate than trying to catch a Metang?

Trying to catch Metagross during that once-in-a-chance opportunity you find one in the wild.

It still doesn't register with me that even Beldum is just as hard to catch as most legendaries. It doesn't exactly spring to mind when I spend 5 hours trying to catch a Metang in the Friend Safari.

It's because it was originally only available as a gift pokemon, and they figured nobody but hackers would ever see one in the wild, so who gives a fuck, right?

I got a list of what I figured would be good abilities the only move I added to his arsenal was shift gear.

These are the abilities that seem to fit well
Filter/heatproof/iron fist /technician/levitate

Here's the technician setup
Technician
Bullet punch
Zen head but
pursuit
Shift gear

The generic setup for the rest
Filter/Heatproof/iron fist/levitate
Meteor mash
Hammer arm
Zen head but
Shift gear

Broken? OU? What set lands him where

I didn't know about the glitch at that point.
I think I cried on more than one occasion, definitely after catching it and bring overcome with joy.
Then T-tar came.

Technician would probably make it Scizor 2.0 but with a lot more weaknesses.
Any of those wouldn't be broken except maybe Filter but it just makes super-effective hits work as 1.5x instead of 2.0x so I'd say it's still not broken.

I don't think he'd even be considered "broken" with those, because of how many popular weaknesses he's running around with. I wish he got shift gear though. I love metagross.

how does that even happen? Don't you have revives? Also, you can text a friend to hop on and give you Catching Power 3 to help out.
