Raid guide
How the fight goes and what to bring.
Metagross is Steel/Psychic, weak to Fire, Ground, Ghost, and Dark. Fire attackers (Mega Charizard, Reshiram, Chandelure) and Ground options counter it well; the raid is duo-able for strong teams. As an attacker, Metagross shreds Fairy, Rock, and Ice bosses as a Steel, and doubles as a Psychic nuke. Mega Metagross is the best Steel attacker in the game. It's a foundational build that stays relevant across every meta shift — one of the safest stardust investments you can make.
Mega Metagross resists Poison, Psychic, Dragon, Fairy, Flying, Grass, Ice, Normal, Rock, Steel — leave those attackers out even if they are your highest CP.
