Pokemon Go Metagross best PvP moveset

The best PvP moveset for Metagross in Pokemon Go is Bullet Punch as a Fast Move and Meteor Mash as a Charged Move.

There are only two Fast Moves to choose between for Metagross, but Bullet Punch is the obvious choice as it has a good mix of damage output and energy gains.

Out of all the Charged Moves, Meteor Mash is the best option as it deals an incredible amount of damage for a very low energy cost. Plus, it also happens to be the faster move out of all of them. Pair Bullet Punch with Meteor Mash and you’ll be able to deal some epic Steel-type damage.

In case you want a secondary Charged Move, use Earthquake to target Steel and Fire-type enemies.

Pokemon Go Metagross best Raid moveset

The best moveset players can use for Metagross during Raids happens to be the same as the one for PvP, with Bullet Punch as a Fast Move and Meteor Mash as a Charged Move.

Because Meteor Mash is Metagross’ ultimate move, you should plan your build around it. So, the best way to go is to pair it with another Steel-type move, and Bullet Punch happens to be the only one available.

Even though Steel is Metagross’ best type, players looking to exploit its Psychic side can try pairing Zen Headbutt with Psychic.
