Metagross becoming a good pokemon, for starters.

Both obvious answers, but let's say I want to use Metagross in its current state, what would be a good build?

Weakness Policy + Agility/Rock Polish or a Sticky Web user.

You could run a assault vest set with your choice of 4 attacks, metagross has a lot of decent moves but...

Why would you use Assault Vest and Agility?

Agility + Weakness Policy. Does pretty good, only problem is his best STABs aren't very accurate, and believe me you'll suffer some crucial misses.

'Aight, so how about this:

Metagross @ Weakness Policy
Clear Body
Adamant
Agility, Meteor Mash, two other moves
As for EVs, maybe max attack and speed investment, or should I go attack+hp+defense for a bulky attacker?

go EQ for coverage and get some psychic physical move on that for extra stab I'd say

totally walled by skarmory or mandibuzz tho

try to get enough speed to outspeed heatran after an agility and dump the rest on attack and HP I'd say

I was thinking something along those lines. If it's walled by Skarmory and Mandibuzz, why not replace Zen Headbutt with Hammer Arm? Or would that be too situational to give up a secondary STAB move?

I find Ass Vest Metagross the most viable taking the role of a bulky pivot with teammates like Rotom/Heatran/Ferrothorn/Dragonite to take on threats.

they can take an hammer arm to the face and roost it out anyway... and you lose speed

you can try to pull of a gyroball + iron ball on a trick room team but... be prepared for gimpyness

Point is Metagross is good there, what with Clear Body actually being relevant and his bulk being fantastic. Although, it remains to be seen how good he'll be with all the nerfs he got in Gen VI, since he's not allowed in VGC 14 because he didn't make it into the Kalos Pokedex.

Aside from a few gimmicks there is just no point in using hyper beam.

There are better dual screeners, like Meowstic. Just go with Ass Vest and 4 attacks. Or a damage reducing berry and 3 attacks + Protect

I use a bulky, all-out attacking Metagross with either Life Orb or Ass Vest. Bullet Punch, Earthquake, Zen Headbutt, Pursuit

It's surprisingly good
