I agree he's very good. I think a lot of people just don't find him super fun compared to other all rounders. Also any 3 stage lvl. 9 evo is a tough sell vs. a team of crazy strong lvl. 4 & 6 power spikes. But if you can get Metagross evo'd and online he has the capacity to be both a front line bruiser & a defender. Something very useful in soloq games where all your teammates want to play attackers & speedsters, lol
I love playing Metagross - I just wish they made his ult less clunky. It gets canceled by a strong breeze, especially with all the invulnerabilities/invisibility/high mobility of the current meta pokemon. It feels absolutely terrible to have your ult lock-on to a Meowscarada only to have them trailblaze over a wall and your ult get stopped because you can't follow.
Definitely feels like a win-more Pokemon. In games you get ahead, it destroys, but if you fall behind, you're gonna have a bad time. The video illustrates this perfectly with the Metagross on the other team.
Choose mash when they have squishy mons that you can target all game. Especially against those slippery ones that can just run away from you if you don't oneshot them and can burst you out like glaceon or espeon. And also when they have lot of stuns that can make brawling with gyro ball impossible then you just need to switch to mash. Ultimately if you play a few dozen games of both you will just figure out yourself when to play what.
Would muscle band be a good replacement for razor claw? Especially in the meteor mash build? Also how do you decide on which moveset based on the opponent team comp? Is magnet rise better than zen headbutt with meteor mash?
Muscle doesnt actually help it that much because the attack speed really doesnt help it at all except for 3 levels i believe. All others it does literally nothing more. His items are the best for damage while you can swap the stacking for a defensive item if needed.
meta is pretty good but against strong cc teams he seriously needs help. I've had my unite canceled and zen canceled way too many times to the point that it makes me feel like I'm griefing my team when I choose the gross, and I play him a lot because he's my fave mon.
Its a super sweaty mon especially in those team fights but is still super duper fun. In this cc heavy meta, the brawlish play style isn't that sought after and hence people areignoring its existence. Also its unite being S-tier unite at times but being horrible at other times(mostly bcoz of its auto targeting) is still a put off.
After the buffs and resulting 'gross meta™ I saw how good this thing was, the early game can be a bit rough and the unite move is underwhelming, but it hits hard and is just so tanky
I'm using exp share. Since he is not as strong till lv 9 and exp hungry.. I keep thinking about whether or not to run rapid fire scarf. Since his boosted ATK. Reduces the CD of his moves. Since meteor mash has a high cooldown
Ok... did you say you use xp share this cause its xp hungry? My guy... that does the opposite. Quite literally does the EXACT opposite. It helps your allies. It doesnt help you get xp. It gives it to your allies. Beyond that, rapid fire scarf is ok but it doesnt give the value you want. Yes the attack speed is higher but not really. Only makes the attack speed higher on a few levels and only if the buff is active. Its always better to run other items as they are truly better for metagross. If you dont like stacking, a defensive item is still better than scarf

I have like 400 games on rankeds, and i have never in my life seen that cameleon with snipe skills, i dont even really know how does he work bc i have seen him only on like 2 videos
It always appears as left (basically, you and your opponents get a different viewpoint). Its kinda like mirror view (like when you wave your right hand, your image in the mirror waves it's left hand)
Metagross feels as heavy as tyranitar, but for me it feels that hes lack in personality, its too punchy. It doesnt feel unique or that much fun maybe thats why people sleep on him. Its strong sure, but it feels like a defender with the power of an all rounder. He feels like a rushed concept to bring a popular pseudo legendary and attract people to unite.

gray rice?? 💀 ANYWAY… i know u mentioned u can pick your moveset depending on enemy comp and it does make sense but could you expatiate on this for those of us with limited brain cells ps- love u more
He said in the end of game 1 that he chose meteor mash because the enemy team was squishy - atackers and speedsters. Therefore, we can extrapolate that gyro ball is used when there are more talky pokemon, like the all rounders and defenders, and there is healing involved.
I think metagross does not require much skill when it comes to the mon mechanics but its too macro heavy like when to play defensively when to engage and try to ko multiple opponents or when to try and ko the high level on other team, etc, so its not actually a good mon for those who dont understand macros, also his unite has more potential if one knows macros
I don’t understand how anything about this mon would make it more macro intensive than any other all rounder. Almost everything you said could apply to every damage-oriented mon in the game.
@@Clam-ou8nm there are mons that one can play bcoz of their kit and have more impact on the game’s win without good macro plays like dragonite, ttar, mewtwo x or y, dragapult, decideuye, inteleon, etc where they can win bcoz they being what they are in term of their kit, but metagross kit is very dynamic it can be played as defender, allrounder or attacker/assassin if one knows macros and then it becomes OP or above average in terms of tier, for most it will be B tier but for those who know macros its nearly S tier, but if one does not know macros, and try to play this mon as all other mons they not gonna do well with it which is why not many play it or have positive winrate with it And idk how any other allrounder apart from ttar can be used as defender and that also is usable at the end game not almost whole game like from level 5 or even as assassin allrounder, same as any damage oriented mon, like i said macros and game understanding is needed to know to understand what all Metagross can do, its not his kit which contributes to winning using it but more of how its used, and for that one needs good macros
@@VictiniSlushie macros, its like what to do in the match, match awareness you can say and what is right to do in that match at that particular time for your team to be more toward winning chance, and you can watch spragel, cris or inder, there is someone else to who has made videos on macros or how to play pokemon unite on youtube, there u will find just a basic structure on how to play efficiently, that u will find in those videos, but as u play more matches u will know what to do rather than not being rigid in uhr play, that macros

right?? So many mons have dashes *_and_* cc. The only thing this ult is good at catching is metagross
I still stand by saying that Eldegoss' Unite Move is kind of more useful than Metagross just because of that
@@Hugo-yz1vb imo eldegoss' unite is one of the best in this game.
@@demilade3260 That's true, it's stuns, does pretty decent damage, and heals your allies, pretty good if you ask me
4:32 I love that RUclips live comment lmao
Ha ba da gah da gah
I absolutely love Metagross, he’s easily one of my most dominate mons, currently at an 80% winrate in ranked with him
Can you help me? What build you use? What playstyle? And emblem set?
everytime I play metagross I run into 4-5 mons with hard cc, and with no full heal you're just dead.
What does cc mean?
@@Cosob3 crowd control, aka stuns and freezes
@@Stephatos would you consider Gardevoir to be a crowd controller?
@@Cosob3 anything that you gotta full heal out of yes
@@Cosob3 Gard has one of the best anti melee moves in the game. Yes it has cc, but typically cc is a defender and supporter trait
Interesting emblem set up focusing on def and sp def emblems instead of white
I was committed to picking up and gold badging this mon no matter how bad/underrated it would be and i absolutely enjoy its play style
In what kind of enemy team we should use gyro ball or meteor mash
I forgot Metagross existed.
9:38 bro rizzed us b/w the game break😳
That 3:18 decidueye walk to the goal like nothing was wrong😂😂😂
Definitely feels like a win-more Pokemon. In games you get ahead, it destroys, but if you fall behind, you're gonna have a bad time. The video illustrates this perfectly with the Metagross on the other team.
Which move is better in general? MM or GB? And how do you know which you should pick in a match?
2:07 that crit tho
Big fan of these multiple game videos
Does anyone know when to chose meteor mash over gyro ball? I would like to know because I’ve been going off preference lol
Choose mash when they have squishy mons that you can target all game. Especially against those slippery ones that can just run away from you if you don't oneshot them and can burst you out like glaceon or espeon.

Also how do you decide on which moveset based on the opponent team comp?
Is magnet rise better than zen headbutt with meteor mash?
No, razor is perfect with meteor mash bc it is a enhanced basic attack which proc razor for burst damage & slow
Meteor mash for squishy comp and Gyro ball for bulky comp I think
@@jinji4609 wouldn't you like muscle band for that because you auto attack quite a lot to reduce cooldown of meteor mash and for damage in general?
@@Mirongw you could replace weakness policy for muscle
Muscle doesnt actually help it that much because the attack speed really doesnt help it at all except for 3 levels i believe. All others it does literally nothing more. His items are the best for damage while you can swap the stacking for a defensive item if needed.
I was always a Metagross believer when it dropped and surprise ppl still sleep on it!
How do you know what mons are good for the defense emblems?
The magnet rise slam is so satisfying, especially on a comfey.
meta is pretty good but against strong cc teams he seriously needs help. I've had my unite canceled and zen canceled way too many times to the point that it makes me feel like I'm griefing my team when I choose the gross, and I play him a lot because he's my fave mon.

Fallinks is also like Metagross
Is it really worth the avant-garde color bonus build since you’ll only retain the flat stats after you get KO’d?
Bug should get fixed soon no point in changing things out for a few week long bug honestly besides the cd emblems I don’t notice the boosts to much
I think we play against bots because i have never spawned on the right or been on the orange team tbh

Is the answer rice? We need to know

could not agree more!!!
The answer to that riddle is Ditto
Im so bad with it. Like im not sure theres another Pokemon I play worse lol I just dont know what im doing wrong.
Almost a blue badge Metagross keep sleeping on it. Playing this with resonant guard you literally stack shields.
Ur build?
No ser thank you for sticking around
you titled this video wrong. it's "Inside of Pokémon Unite"
What world did they even have a chance
Metagross feels as heavy as tyranitar, but for me it feels that hes lack in personality, its too punchy. It doesnt feel unique or that much fun maybe thats why people sleep on him. Its strong sure, but it feels like a defender with the power of an all rounder.
He feels like a rushed concept to bring a popular pseudo legendary and attract people to unite.
How is it rice? (Also, concur, I love metagross)
I love Metagross, but lately, it just feels like you can't carry games with it
They gutted Magnet Rise too hard in my opinion. Damage nerf is fine but the cooldown too? Rough.

I bought it before bc it's my favourite mon in pokemon on the same spot as garchomp i don't get it y ppl hate garchomp he's my best dps
Marvel Strike Force ad? That thing is a definition of a toxic p2w mobile game. But otherwise it's pretty cool! :D
They need to make zen headbutt a sure hit
And I know that gyro ball is better but I'm a firm meteor mash believer
No we have more than enough sure hits in this game
