You wanna know about the best EVs for Metagross, huh? That big ol’ hunk of metal, strong as an ox, I tell ya. Well, let me tell you, it ain’t as simple as it looks. You gotta know what you’re doing, or that metal thing ain’t gonna be worth a dime.
First thing’s first, this Metagross, it’s a tough one. Hits like a truck. So, you wanna make sure it hits hard, right? That’s where the Attack EVs come in. You pump that thing full of 252 Attack EVs, and it’ll be smashing through anything. Like a hot knife through butter, I tell ya.
But hold on a minute. You can’t just go throwing all your eggs in one basket. This ain’t no chicken coop. You gotta think about defense, too. Metagross, it can take a hit, but it ain’t invincible. That’s why you gotta give it some HP. Some folks like to go with 252 HP EVs. Makes it real beefy, like a prize-winning hog.
- 252 Attack EVs, make it hit hard.
- 252 HP EVs, make it tough as nails.
Now, I heard some folks talking about putting some EVs into HP. I reckon, 232 HP EVs can help it survive. And 40 Special Defense EVs, well, I heard it can help that big metal thing live through some powerful attacks. Like a magic deer or something like that. Some Xerneas. You see, these numbers, they help it live through some big hits.
Then there’s this other thing, Speed. Now, Metagross ain’t the fastest thing on four legs. It’s more like a big ol’ tractor, slow and steady. But some folks, they like to make it a little quicker. They put some EVs into Speed, maybe 252 Speed EVs, so it can outrun some of the other critters. But it is a slow one to begin with.
So, you got Attack, you got HP, you got Speed. What else is there? Well, there’s Defense and Special Defense. You can sprinkle a few EVs in there, just to round things out. Maybe 172 HP EVs, and a little bit, just 4 EVs each, for Defense and Special Defense. Makes it a little more balanced, like a good stew.
Now, what’s the best combo? That’s the million-dollar question, ain’t it? Well, I’ve seen a few different ways to do it. Some folks, they like to go all-out on Attack and HP. That’s a good way to go if you want something that can hit hard and take a punch. Some people say that’s good if you want to teach it that Bullet Punch move. I heard it can do a real number on them fairy and rock critters.
I heard some folks say that if you got a Metagross with a good Attack, like 11 or higher, it can do something called a breakpoint at level 30. Now that’s something to think about if you want it to do some real damage with that Bullet Punch. And to fight against Togetic, you gonna need that Meteor Mash. I heard you need three Metagross with that Meteor Mash to do some serious damage. And with some Earthquake thing, it can be a powerful combo. Make sure that Metagross knows that Meteor Mash, real good one.
And there’re other things, like Primal Groudon, Mega Charizard Y, some Necrozma thing, and Mega Tyranitar. They say they are good against Metagross. So, you gotta watch out for those.
Other folks, they like to mix it up a bit. They might put some EVs in Attack, some in HP, and some in Speed. That way, you got a little bit of everything. Like a good ol’ mixed salad.
And then you got the folks who like to go all defensive. They’ll pump up the HP and the Defense, making Metagross a real wall. It might not hit as hard, but it can sure take a beating. Like a stubborn mule, that one. I saw one fella, he had a Metagross that could survive anything. Just stood there and took it, like it was nothing.
- Attack and HP, for hitting hard and taking hits.
- Attack, HP, and Speed, for a little bit of everything.
- HP and Defense, for a tough, sturdy one.
Me? I like to keep it simple. I go with 252 Attack EVs and 252 HP EVs. That way, I know my Metagross can dish it out and take it, too. It’s like having a good, strong workhorse. Reliable, you know? Ain’t gonna win any races, but it’ll get the job done.
But hey, that’s just me. You do what you think is best. There ain’t no right or wrong way, just different ways. Just like cooking, everyone’s got their own recipe. You gotta experiment a little, see what works for you and your Metagross. Just remember to be careful, don’t go wasting all your resources. EVs ain’t cheap, you know. And it takes time to train them up, just like raising a good crop. You gotta be patient and put in the work.
So there you have it. That’s my two cents on the best EVs for Metagross. Hope it helps you out some. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go tend to my garden. These tomatoes ain’t gonna pick themselves.
