Honestly, without it, it may very well end up in OU. As long as it's Speed finds itself at least at 100, it'll thrive well. Amazing coverage, impressive strength and dat bulk.

it doesnt even need shift gear
mega metagross will probably be the best mega in ou after mega mence
agility lets it get fast and it gets a chance to boost its attack with tough claws meteor mash and it gets ok coverage as well

skarmory, and balloon steels, ferrothorn does a good job against it
it might even want to run thunderpunch over something to hit skarm and bulky waters
>>20559524
obviously shift gear is better, but im saying its not a dealbreaker if it doesnt get it which is likely

It's still going to get Sucker Punched to UU and back, and can't tank Knock-Offs like virtually every other mega.

It doesn't need another move to be OU with a mega coming up. Unless they fuck up by taking away base stats somewhere like they did with Garchomp, adding 100 bst to metagross is going to make it good.

What it needs is Heavy Slam. 120 BP + STAB + Tough Claws on everything in OU except for Gyarados, Tyranitar, Dragonite, Heatran, Hippowdon, Kyurem-B and Mamoswine, half of which don't even want to take that shit anyway.

Bullet Punch and Earthquake are going to hit all of those hard anyway.
Throw in Thunderpunch for coverage against Gyarados, and you're golden.

You say that like anything relevant carries Sucker Punch besides Bisharp (and Megamaw, which is probably going to be getting the boot soon)

And even then switching exists, just pair it up with an Azumarill/Conkeldurr for Bishie and you're golden

They're turning it into a freight train.

It's also the best looking Mega. Holy fuck it's perfect.

You know it's going to have at least base 100 speed right? It turns into a space ship and gets a greatly increased speed stat.

Heavy Slam is the most realistic scenario for it. Has already Agility and in general wanting more broken and unbalanced Pokemon is just wrong. Even if Metagross has the 4MSS.
