Why does /vp/ whine about Talonflame when it is Mega Metagross that is the most OP Pokemon in OU?

>110 speed for some fucking reason
>gigantic movepool
>plenty of resistances
>good defensive stats

Switching into it is hard as fuck.

Because their idiots. And you're an idiot too, Megagross is nowhere near the "most OP Pokemon" in OU.

The most cancerous thing right now is Clefable, it cripples all reliable switch ins with Thunder Wave and beats everything else.

Switching into it is hard as fuck but it's easy enough to pressure, balance teams usually have a fat enough answer for it, and it doesn't like dark spam or sand offense. Megagross isn't particularly good in the current meta and is relatively easy to build around. It hits hard but it's not a nuke, and it's fast without being sanic.

This.

Its a solid, all around pokemon with no bad stats, and it's always gonna be something to keep an eye on, but since none of it's stats are extreme, anything specializing in those categories can get some elbow room in. You likely wont have to dismantle your team composition solely due to a M-Metagross.

Also 4MSS is a thing with Metagross.

The baton pass shit was the most retarded thing I've ever seen on Smogon. The entire fucking community conspired to continuously fuck over one guy.

This is why you should run Nidoking. It demolishes metagross with earth power and kills those faggot faries with sludge wave.

Nidoking also out speeds on the first turn and OKO's Metagross.

Sucker punch doesn't affect slowbro if he uses TWave which would cripple it horribly. Also nobody would keep their Meta on a Nidoking on the first turn.

I have no idea what you're talking about. I didn't mention slowbro at all. If the person your fighting switches out their Metagross than whatever comes in will take a stab earth power followed up by Sucker punch.

All I do is run CroCune to switch into most of the physically hard hitters: Mega Metagross, Talonflame, the Knock Off users, Lando, Azumarill, etc. Yeah it may not always get a KO but it usually gets one chance to Scald and get some chip damage and/or burn.

But Nidoking is immune to Thunder Wave and can carry Thunderbolt. Most Slowbros invest in their physical defense too.
