Metagross is one tough creature to have on your Pokemon Go roster, so if you’re looking to use it in battle, here’s a look at the best recommended moveset for the pseudo-Legendary.
Metagross is a powerful Steel/Psychic-type Pokemon that can be deadly in the right hands when it comes to Pokemon Go battles.
This huge creature is the final evolution of Beldum, which will be featured in its own Community Day Classic event in August 2024.
So, if you happen to evolve one into Metang and finally Metagross, here are the best movesets you can use for both PvP and Raids in the game.
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.

We should note Meteor Mash will be immediately added as a Charged Move for those who evolve Metang during the August 2024 Community Day Classic event. That will take place on August 18, 2024.
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.
