>>21563394>Being banned by Smogon MetaYes because the 10k or so people who give a fuck about Metagross compares to the millions who actually play the game. I said give a reason to use it over Salamence, not why Smogon matters.
>Smaller hits do it in quickerOkay, so again, it RESISTS sucker punch, which means it will take at least 3 of them unboosted. And it's IMMUNE to ghost priority, while the ghosts are not immune. Bravest bird and Mach punch is all it has to worry about. Fake out from itself and maybe E-Speed from a stronger thing do deal high damage, but it can still take 2 without failing.
>Unresisted coverage That doesn't mean anything, since a LOT of decent attackers have that. Unresisted STAB is much better by default. As for Metagross' STAB, those two moves are what it has, and they're garbage. not to mention EQ doesn't get the boost from it's ability
>Hit more things Super-effectivelyBut Fighting STAB alone ties both Steel and Psychic at once. Normal and E-punches are just a bonus. Metagross suffers from 4MMS, Lopunny doesn't.
>More options like whatSub Punch. Drain Punch. High Jump Kick. Fake-out. Retaliate. Cosmic Power, Baton Pass, Fast Healing Wish....Just to name a few.
>Flying is commontake bravest bird out and no.
>Rock, Ice, Flying, FairyFairy has literally 2 good moves. Same for Rock and Flying
>Not weak to Knock-OffAre you retarded or something? Just because mega stones can't be knocked off doesn't mean the "IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE!" thing doesn't appear.
>Resistances matter more for a sweeper on switch-insUhm. Okay. I guess if you're less concerned about that massive 80 BHP.
