Greeting Everyone, And welcome to my ORAS OU Team based around Mega metagross.
<What I think About Mega Metagross + Keldeo and Thundurus and a Brief explanation of the synergy of theese 3>
So, Mega metagross, as we all know is a power house, After the HUGE nerf to him in X&Y getting rid of Steel's Dark and ghost resistances gave this guy alot of trouble. It looked like it cannot make a comeback to the competitive scene, HOWEVER, after ORAS came out, the true power of metagross, Mega metagross was awakened.Mega metagross is a really good mega for Offensive teams in the OU tier. However, It does have a few drawbacks, It gets walled by bulky ground types even with Ice punch and Fat Water and Psychic types. To cover all theese things, Keldeo and Thundurus comes in, Thundurus takes care of slowbro and stuff while keldeo deals with Hippo and other stuff. After the Metagross Counters are gone, it just is unstoppable.
Enough Discussion I guess, Let's get to the team.
THE TEAM
X-Wing (Metagross-Mega) @ Metagrossite
Ability: Tough Claws
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Meteor Mash
- Zen Headbutt
- Bullet Punch
- Hammer Arm
This guy is absolutely fierce denting holes in teams who doesn't have a counter for this guy. Some common guys which compleytely wall him is Skarmory slowbro etc, Which thundurus handles. I choose bullet punch over Ice punch since I needed some kind of priority and keldeo can handle Landrous and other mons. so can Thundurus wihch can safely switch in on earthquake and OHKO Gliscor or Landrous with HP Ice. Overall, this guy does pretty decent. I don't have much to say about it. Hammer arm is for bisharp and Heatran and Pursuit Tyranitar.
Thor (Thundurus) @ Life Orb
Ability: Prankster
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Focus Blast
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Thunderbolt
- Thunder Wave
This guy is there to support Mega gross and make it outspeed alot of thigns with PrankWave. And
it takes care of Many metagross checks. Forms a solid core with it. HP Ice is for lando's and Gliscor's. Thundebolt is obvious. Focus blast for Steel and Dark types such as Bisharp etc.

Literally broken bird. Just the drawback is missing Hurricane. A confusion is nice. It Cleans up some stuff and is a revenge killer. Can help the tema a lot with LO Hurricane's. Regenerator keeps it healthy so it does not fall quickly. Heat wave is for Scizors and other steel Types. Knock off is just really good Knocking off Scarfs and Bands. It has access to a strong Flying STAB move in Hurricane and complementary coverage to break down Pokemon that resist Flying. Tornadus-T also sports a base 121 Speed stat, which allows it to outspeed much of the unboosted OU metagame.
