Shadow Metagross

GBL Note Analysis

Basis: PvPoke simulation · last-30-day field meta · S27 New Beginnings

✔ Strengths & how to use

• High matchup stability gives it even, reliable performance across a wide field.
• It posts favorable results against current field-meta staples Zacian (Crowned Sword)(#1) · Mega Mewtwo Y(#2) · Dialga (Origin)(#8), giving it real value as a meta counter.
• On defense it double-resists Poison · Psychic · resists Normal · Grass · Ice · Flying · Rock · Dragon etc, holding up well against those attackers.

⚠ Weaknesses & threats

• On defense it is weak to Fire · Ground · Ghost · Dark, so watch out for those attackers.
• High attack but thin bulk means shield management heavily decides its games.
• It's notably unfavored into Mega Gyarados (usage rank #6), common right now, so dodging that matchup is safer in the current meta.
