>>22837155Stolloss is regularly fed a diet of decommissioned military scrap steel, several dozen tons a week, in addition to a chaser of rare earth minerals and quarry stone. Three decades of this diet have lead to an Aggron significantly larger, heavier, and stronger than a normal one, allowing it to put that much more momentum behind its smashing attack. An attack that, missing the intended target, smashed into and tore a massive chunk from the mountain face. Distracted from the attack by falling rubble, Stolloss was caught off guard when the non-poisoned Machoke lunged forward to deliver a blow.
Now, Stolloss may have been bigger, stronger, and meaner than Stahlos by a fair margin, but it was nowhere near as heavily armored; the term "glass cannon" springs to mind. As compared to the iron snake, the sauropod's armor was sparse, covering only the head and back. Valuable areas to protect, but when compared to the total iron protection afforded to the snake, it's easy to see how a well-placed blow, one that wouldn't damage Stahlos on the slightest, could cause Stolloss to crumble.
And crumble Stolloss did... Right atop the Machoke. The bigger they are, the harder they fall, and the metal dinosaur fell the hardest of them all.
>Heavy SlamThen, there was the first, poisoned Machoke, lunging towards Metagross with the same fury that its comrade had used to bring down Stolloss. Unlike Stolloss, the iron assault rover was fully armored, withstanding the attack to a greater extent than its massive companion. Still, it was badly damaged, as was the enemy. Another lunging strike would likely take the muscle'mon down, but at the same time, it would likely take the last of Metagross' energy along with it.
