Suggested usage notes
Metagross performs best when its role is clearly defined in team preview. As a Physical Attacker and Trick Room Pokémon, focus on positioning it where it can execute its job without being forced into unfavorable exchanges.
When teambuilding, pair Metagross with Pokémon that cover its type weaknesses (see counters section below) and provide the speed control or redirection it needs to function. Review the common moves and items section for established sets, then adjust based on your team's specific needs.
