Metagross best moveset in Pokemon Go
The best 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 for both PvP battles and Raids, as it has a good mix of damage output and energy gains.
Pair this with Meteor Mash as a Charged Move and you’ll be able to deal some epic Steel-type damage. If you can afford a second Charged Move, go with the Ground-type attack Earthquake for more coverage options.

Is Metagross any good in Pokemon Go?
As with many Pokemon that have evolved twice, Metagross is a pretty great option for your team when it has its best moveset. It’s a powerful Pokemon in PvP battles, but be aware of its weaknesses to Ground, Ghost, Fire, and Dark-type attacks.
The good news is that Metagross has quite a few resistances, including against Normal, Grass, Flying, Rock, Dragon, Ice, Fairy, Poison, and other Steel and Psychic-type Pokemon – which is very impressive.
