Wait... Metagross Is Actually Good?!?

[@otterdisc3073]

Metagross is definitely S tier in just the walking animation category, though.

[@simon_the]

Facts

[@block827]

its basic attack animations are top tier cannot be beaten

[@camusreviews6877]

I think Full Heal is kind of a must for it. It’s Unite move will never work in a team fight without popping Full Heal as you use it

[@jeffperson3765]

Same

[@YosiahW]

Even then it still might fail because full heal got nerfed to last 1.5 seconds and after Metagross scans and flies all the way to an enemy that 1.5s could easily run out.

[@MusicComet]

I think it'll be hard to adjust to balanced releases, but at least we don't have to worry about stuff like Mewtwo Y again (for now).

[@BrianMcAvoy13]

I feel like its damage is decent, but lacks in the defensive side

[@mythmakroxymore1670]

So then build a defensive item or 2

3:27, there was a bug where you used a boosted attack but meteor mash didn’t activate until the next basic

[@captaincriticize8050]

I think a buff to the unite, some sustain, and cooldown buffs for its moves are all warranted

I think, IN MY OPINION, the damn cooldowns NEEDS to be dealt with, like ASAP!

[@samuelungar6528]

Fun fact! The unite counts greninja (probably also meow) clones when deciding whether to do the wall, so you can activate the wall without 3+ enemies if that happens

[@Aqua_Mayne]

Will the unite also jump to a clone if it’s the lowest hp?

[@dontbejay]

Drain crown is a must. It's the only sustain when you finally stop getting cancelled out of every move lmao. Good thing I used the time trial first. I'll wait till it's properly 'evened' out.

[@Xahtras]

What's working really well is: Scarf, claw, muscle It's an assassin build so you have to play more like a speedster. Level 13 with the levitation upgrade reduces the damage taken while up in the air. Muscle, scarf, weakening seems working as well. Always combine Meteor with the levitation. Seems to be the most flexible combination.

[@slysylveon]

I used metagross with a basic attack build of muscle rapid and weakness policy. Was the best damage stat I got in all of my 6 or 7 games I did with it

[@nicolasmartinez7639]

Whenever i play the ‘Gross i found success in treating him like a pseudo tank. If you give him a bulky set up and play him like an “off” tank, he can have a big influence on fights even if he doesn’t get KOs

[@Leon._.0.0]

The question: metagross si good? The answer: no.... Poor meta i love him

[@LucasCitulsky]

My child has now ascended to not being… Meh-tagross. *nobody in the Starbucks clapped*

I did 😊

[@glacier4454]

I think magnet rise is the better move but overall metagross is pretty good but yes I do agree his unite move is horrible like I have had my unit move canceled multiple times but overall he is a very fun Pokémon to play

[@rockpirt1760]

Magnet rise is pretty good but they really need to buff its duration or lower its cooldown its too low duration for such long cooldown, like magnet rise is pretty ignorable

[@glacier4454]

@@rockpirt1760 well yes I do agree but I also think they should maybe increase the move duration because of its long cooldown in my opinion

I love that the best build it the BONK build

[@aaqilnizam3374]

i love the moveset, i feel like it has potential to be one of the best flex picks in the game. but it does need some QOL tuning.

[@dhruvilkumpavat6037]

Except Meteor Mash I find nothing meta with this man

[@williamhand1471]

Welcome back hope you get well soon

[@renutus1580]

Would honestly like to see a level reduction or 2 on his evo. I get he's a pseudo but he evolves sooner then every pseudo anyways. Letting him evo at 8 or 7 would be nice

[@abdulraziqkuwari]

It is NOT BAD! it is just not a broken as other characters . But I do agree it needs unstoppable for its unite. Otherwise it is great , I also don't think it needs more damge as to really do well with it you need to brawl with 2-3 enemies at the same time

[@deyanime2871]

Not suprise your going pink Emblem. I'm doing the same but chose red emblem. I got charm, muscle band, and attack weight. I might remove attack weight because it is hard to stack.

[@bakes1324]

I have so much fun playing metagross. Most fun since dodrio in my opinion. Unite move is very weird though. Does get canceled at weird times and once I used it and it instantly refilled. I got 2-3 kos after using it and I know there’s a feature where it recharges after knocking a Pokémon out but I don’t think it’s supposed to apply to more than one KO.

[@AnonymousHippopotamus55]

History repeats itself…petaldance or solarbeam? Zen headbutt or magnet rise?

[@techno_otaku]

It feels great as is, it's not overpowered or underpowered at all. Natural bulk is good, great chaser if you choose the right moves in a match, can surprisingly KO *a lot* in the right situations of a Team Fight. Feels on par with Blaziken (after it's buffs) to me. 💙

[@TruewaveOrganics]

Spragels who makes your gfx?

[@Imperial4ti]

I was out of the unite loop for a while, I didnt know you had a kidney infection, hope you are feeling better man, that sounds painful

[@RANAS500]

Can u show us the passive compering it with other mon How low does in make cc effects

[@BouncyHat908]

Do you think scope lens is good on it? It has a 20% crit rate. I've been doing really well with weakness scope and razor, with Zen head butt, meteormash and a potion.

[@pablojams5152]

It’s kind of funny that they gave it an ability that reduces CC length on it because they knew it would need it, and that still isn’t enough to stop it from getting absolutely bullied in the middle of a fight. They either need to buff full heal, Metagross’ ability, or nerf all of the damn CC

[@CATSOFFICIAL88]

Bro why. Metagross is the best. I got 30 kills and a 5 ko streak with him today.

[@HateSinning71]

Can you do a muscle band drain crown and weakness policy build with mimikyu its so fun

[@cobrakai8049]

So was it Kidney stones? Or just an infection. I have had both. But one is WAY worse than the other.

[@Daymon877]

I came for the "I surprise"

[@Prince_Spoopy]

Given how little impact Metagross’s unite is I feel it should at least be in the 112 second range. His and Sylveon Ult need that love. I feel if you don’t have experience with rock tomb Crustle you might have trouble with the wall Metagross Ult builds. This Mon definitely needs some buffs

[@dexterjohnson4896]

SO personally scope lens felt good with Attack Weight

[@supersaiyan30-]

Ngl, MetaGross is fun and pretty strong. But indeed he do need buffs for his Ultimate, my 3rd item for me since I don't have Resistance guard is attack weight.

[@Sweeper918]

I think aside from some minor tweaks, Metagross is honestly fine. The main problem is people treating him as a defender and just running recklessly into fights, thinking they can tank more than they actually can.

[@oluwaseyiabrahamodujoko8051]

Yea that what i have been using but it needs a buff to it unite move feels underwhelming love the video by the way YEEHAW ❤❤❤

[@akhilpavithran890]

Should I buy Mewtwo y or metagross?

[@romanodegenhart5606]

I really don't mind a Mon releasing a bit underpowered. I would much rather that and it get small buffs later than the zacians, mewtwos, mimikus, etc that we dealt with in the past

[@jeffperson3765]

I feel like gyro ball could use a buff to put it on level with meteor mash. Zen headbutt and magnet rise both feel good.

[@vsaucelover9660]

Its say that gyro ball is worse than meteor smash , but not because of stats but because of the range that gyro ball has , the hit zone that your have to hit feels pretty bad specially since when you are in range of basically attacks it feels like its just out of range or the enemy is to close to you

[@Aqua_Mayne]

Hope they buff metagross without giving him the mimikyu treatment, idk how they should fix zen headbutt but make his unite unstoppable and lower meteor mashes cooldown a tad and he’d be pretty solid imo

[@konstantinosnicolau849]

Zen headbutt goes through walls though 😅..I think its good. Full heal is a must

[@sinnohperson8813]

Why is zen headbutt bad

[@0verl0rd67]

I think people are too used to pokemon releasing broken And also i think people should stop complaining about how they designed metagross, if you want it different go make your own Pokemon MOBA Edit: one thing ive noticed is how teamfight-oriented the design is. Hinderance resistance per enemy nearby, bigger shields per target hit and an ult that gets powered up when 3 or more enemies are present. I'm definetly looking to mess with pink/gray on this mon, so many shields and it's quite bulky

[@Trinity_Shiro]

Unite Move needs buffs imo.

I think the worse thing its the cooldowns , sustain and the unita move is pretty meh and inconsistent The cooldowns are kinda long specially on meteor smash , and the cooldown reducion on moves isn't that good in witch it does hurt the self sustain of the jpokemon , like Imagine mimiku with a longerr cooldown on shadow claw His self sustain is pretty bad when comparing him to other brawlers like characters like Blaziken and Mimiku

Metagross is almost ok once you have meteor mash and magnet rise, but thats the thing both beldum and metang are awful, but unlike other pokemon that have a weak start so that they demolish the enemy in the late game, Metagross becomes mediocre at best. Also his unite move is awful in every way.

Metagross is kind of just underwhelming. Meteor Mash/Magnet Rise are the ONLY moves worth using. Gyro Ball feels really awful and Zen Headbutt doesn't feel impactful in the slightest to make it even an option. The Unite needs Unstoppable and a slightly faster charge ASAP. The passive also needs something more because that 50% Hinderance Resist isn't really all that good. The game is heavily centered on Chain CC so even if you have 5 nearby, you'll still likely die no matter how hard you try.
