Metagross is one tough creature to have in your roster thanks to its dual Steel/Psychic type, and during March it will appear as a 3-Star Raid Boss. If you’re planning on catching one, here’s the best moveset you can use during battle for both PvP and Raids.

Metagross is a powerful Steel/Psychic-type Pokemon that can be deadly in the right hands when it comes to Pokemon Go battles. However, the key to victory is utilizing this Pokemon‘s best moveset and avoiding opponents it’s weak against.

This huge creature is the final evolution of Beldum and evolves from Metang at level 45. This means it’s usually a high level when encountered and is capable of doing serious damage to opponents.

However, players can skip the evolution process in the game and go for an already evolved Metagross with the 3-Star Raid battles, as it will appear as a boss during March alongside Chansey and Noctowl.

If you’re planning on catching one with great IVs to use in battle, here’s the best moveset you can pick for both PvP and Raids.
