Metagross is a large, machine-looking Pokemon that is resistant to a lot of different types, and doesn't have a lot of weaknesses. This makes it a very useful Pokemon to have the best moveset for. If you are looking for a Pokemon to battle in Gyms, the Go Battle League, or use against Team Go Rocket, you can easily make Metagross one of the best Pokemon in your party.

For the best offensive moveset for Metagross, you will want to have Bullet Punch, with 12 DPS, and Meteor Mash, with 46.2 dps. It’s worth noting that Meteor Mash does require an Elite TM for Metagross to learn the move. This moveset is the best for attacking Pokemon in Gyms and for PvP battles. If you are looking for the best defensive moveset, Zen Headbutt with 13.1 DPS and Meteor Mash, with 46.2 DPS is your best bet. Again, Meteor Mash will need an Elite TM to be taught to your Pokemon.

Metagross can be a really powerful pokemon, especially if you have a few Elite TMs around that can help you get them to the best moveset. Once you have Metagross at the best moveset, you’ve got a really strong Pokemon that can hold its own in battles while having plenty of health to back it up.
