Metagross

Pros and Cons:

All around, metagross is a well-rounded Pokemon, but harder to get, compared to Aggron, due to it needing to be level 45 to evolve from Metang. However, Metagross serves better as a sweeper than a wall, since metagross has the power needed in Attack and doesn’t have a massive defense stat.

Aggron

Pros and Cons:

Aggron is a great Physical Attacking tank, but it’s three 4x effective type disadvantages and unavailability until late in the game makes it quite hard to use. It is easier to get to evolve into it’s final evolved form than metagross, but the mega stone is required to make it work best, meaning if you want it to be effective, you need to sacrifice giving it a held item, other than it’s mega stone.

Honestly neither one is “better” than the other. I will compare them and let you choose. (plus I’ll add in movesets :D)

It has better stats (600 to 530)It has a better ability.It has a better movepool.It has better typing.But all of that is before the mega…after the mega some things changeAggron gains a better abilityAggron gains better typing.

Here are my suggested movesets for both, before and after the mega.

Metagross @ Life OrbAbility: Clear BodyEVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SpeJolly Nature- Agility- Meteor Mash- Earthquake- Zen Headbutt

Metagross @ MetagrossiteEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeHasty Nature- Meteor Mash- Earthquake- Zen Headbutt- Bullet Punch

Aggron @ AggroniteAbility: SturdyEVs: 252 HP / 16 Def / 240 SpDImpish Nature- Rest- Sleep Talk- Heavy Slam- Earthquake

Aggron @ Chople BerryAbility: Rock HeadEVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SpeJolly Nature- Autotomize- Head Smash- Aqua Tail- Low Kick

Hope this helps!
