Hey guys, just updated my Metagross GX list for post rotation and wanted some feedback on the biggest changes I've made
I used to run a 1-of Necrozma GX, but in all my games I haven't really had the opportunity to set him up late game, either because of not getting psychic energy in the discard/not 3 Metagross on the bench/GX attack wasn't used at the right time. Split of energy types didn't seem to give me a lot of consistency.
4 Beldum
2 Metang
4 Metagross GX
3 Tapu Lele GX
1 Alolan Vulpix
1 Genesect EX
1 Magearna EX
4 Professor Sycamore
4 N
1 Brigette
2 Guzma
1 Skyla
1 Professor Kukui
1 Float Stone
4 Ultra Ball
4 Rare Candy
3 Max Potion
4 Choice Band
3 Field Blower
1 Rescue Stretcher
10 Metal Energy
1 Psychic Energy
I guess my main question is: Is GenesectEX a viable option? 3 Metal energies for 100+60 for discarded energies plus choice band hits 190 on Ho-oh and Turtonator, so it still helps OHKO in the dreaded Volc matchup.
I've found a good balance with this list with 3 Lele, also having Genesect in there with a choice of item allows me to use 1 float stone. I never use it on Metagross if I can help it. Also not really sold on Magearna but doing some games to see if he's usefull
What do you guys think?
