Mega Metagross confirmed!

[FrostedYukio]

With the newly leaked CoroCoro July 2014 we now have Mega Metagross. I hope it has Iron Fist

So hyped! That looks awesome!!!!!!!!

Iron Fist?
That would be a terrible ability being as the only punching moves Metagross carries are Ice Punch and Bullet Punch. That would be an absolute waste of an ability and have little to no competitive use on Metagross in my opinion.

And meteor mash, but ya. I agree

 

[kankuro236]

I mean I can't really think of an ability for it besides maybe Filter

 

[MaliciousMango]

If Mega Metagross got Huge Power that would be insane, realistically tho I wouldn't be surprised if it got levitate.

This trailer was put out on Facebook a minute ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=P-wTDPviFq8&app=desktop

Mega Metagross's confirmed ability is Tough Claws. It's also getting a huge boost in speed.
Along with a boost in attack, special attack, and both defenses.

That moment in the 47th second where the shifty thinks it's a good idea to hit blaziken with a leaf blade

 

[TyruntLover44]

It looks pretty funny to me...

 

[Matt_192]

Gets Tough Claws, and raises in all stats, mainly speed. So happy for this thing

 

[Martin]

This thing gets Grass Knot which is the only special contact move. That could make a mixed set very viable, given its boosted SpA stat.

Mixed Metagross has always been viable.
But I do agree that this can help buff it a ton

It's a Mega Metagross.
It was an OHKO.

Could you explain how that can OHKO a pretty bulky def. pokemon with 1 nve physical attack move?

252+ Atk Metagross Meteor Mash vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Swampert on a critical hit: 135-160 (39.5 - 46.9%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

pretty sure mega evolving wont make you 3 times stronger... and that was a crit too...

(191, 193, 195, 198, 200, 202, 204, 207, 209, 211, 213, 216, 218, 220, 222, 225)

Remove the leftovers and add tough claws and, buddy, you've got a bopped Swampert At least, if we're talkin about crits
