Pokédex · III (Hoenn)

Mega Metagross#10076

Strong point: Defense — among the highest in the entire Pokédex. Overall it is one of the stronger species — above 100% of the Pokédex. On defense it has 4 weaknesses, 9 resistances and 1 full immunity. Poison-type moves do nothing to it at all. Very hard to catch — bring plenty of Poké Balls and something that puts it to sleep or paralyzes it.

Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Attack.

A nature can improve this entry further: its boost hits hardest on Defense, the stat in which this species already leads. Which nature does that — see the list of natures.

Mega Evolution adds a fixed pool of one hundred points and replaces the ability with a single one.

Which nature to choose

It hits physically: its Attack (145) is 40 points higher than its Sp. Atk. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.

  • Jolly +Spe · −SpA Its Speed is higher than 92% of species — ten percent more lifts it past some of the benchmarks that decide who moves first.
  • Adamant +Atk · −SpA If you already outspeed what you want to outspeed, those ten percent are better spent on hitting power.
  • Hidden Power and Weather Ball still deal damage based on Sp. Atk. If either of them is going into the set, lowering Sp. Atk is no longer free.

A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.

Abilities

  • Tough Claws Strengthens moves that make contact to 1.33× their power.
