Breloom metagross combo?

Question

as you can see from my profile here,

i have a breloom and exploding metagross.
so I was thinking: why not make a breloom metagross combo?
so I was thinking that my breloom would be an evasive life orb user with poison heal, so moves like protect, double team, substitute & some offensive moves like seed bomb and drain punch (sig move) my metagross is something i'm not to picky about as long as it explodes.
i am open to any idea.
also, I am making this team for gen 4, I am also planning on using it for double battles, hence; I might also need two more Pokemon to train.

This is ingame?

ya, ingame i suppose, i didn't think of it as an rmt, a bit more like is this good.

---

What ingame Metagross explodes :o? just teach it EarthQuake and Meteor Mash really :l

---

Why poison heal if you arent making yourself poisoned, get a toxic orb instead imo

---

i shall answer all.
@sapp, i have a breloom with toxic orb but i see little point in it due to the fact that bre gets one ohko anyway. life orb lets a bit high to do something with its healing capability, to get it poisoned however, i was hoping somebody will come up with something for me.
@Deemonflygawne, explosions are awesome and if you doubt them for one second you will be eaten by thou-self.

Explosion isnt a good move, especially not on metagross who can do so many better things

---

Exploding Metagross is the new king of banta and epicness. We need more inspirational ideas from loomhigh223555.

---

Explosion is a good move on certain Pokemon. Metagross is not one of them.

---

+1 252+ Atk Mega Metagross Explosion vs. 248 HP / 216+ Def Rotom-W: 343-404 (113.2 - 133.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO

After a boost from Meteor Mash

---

If you used this in doubles, explosion would knock out both of your Pokemon, unless breloom had a focus sash or knew protect.

---

Everything in Doubles has Protect :P

---

I suggest this
(If metagross is a mega choose another mega)

Metagross  

Life Orb (more power on explosion)

----------
Explode
Stealth Rocks
Substitute
Meteor Mash

Brelloom

Choice Scarf (to survive explosion)/Life orb

----------
Mach punch (for Coice Scarf of sturdy)
Protect/Seed Bomb
Spore (Just beware of Sleep clause)
Power up Punch

And for your Final Teammates I suggest mega absol to wall setups and Chandelure to get the grass types such as Venusuar and Opsing Breloom

---

Sleep clause doesnt matter ingame, and mega absol and chandelure dont exist in gen 4

---

Power-Up Punch wasn't in Gen 4 either

---

Also, what do you mean "choice scarf: to survive explosion"? That makes absolutely no sense. Neither does mach punch and "choice scarf of sturdy"

---

oh if only i could. some of this i can't do i am afraid, henceforth; i shalt not accept this as a sufficient answer.

---

Honestly Explosion is not an ideal move for Metagross. Try Earthquake instead.

---

Actually, explosion is great for metagross. Pre-gen 5, explosion does damage to a pokemon as if the target pokemon had its defense cut in half.

---

Metagross has better potential for other things though. I dont see explosion is important, metagross can cause more KOs with other moves

---

Of course metagross can do other things, that's why it has 4 moves! Explosion is a way for a metagross to get a final kill when it has stopped being useful

---

the main reason i have explosion is because explosions are awesome and that is that.

---

Awesomeness does not always win battles. We are here to help people win battles. Your question is invalid.

---

Awesomeness doesn't… but explosions do :D

---

explosions are part of my religion

---

Wasn't there a rule somewhere that religiously-natured discussions were not allowed?

---

"Kaboomism" ascends all laws of man.

---

And if explosions always win battles, why don't I see Explosion on every competitive Regice?

---

because some people in this world have a different belief other than torgue and that is acceptable because it is everyone's human right to there opinion.

Answer 1

Alright, I'll give a good core from a competitive point of view. Double Team is very gimmicky and doesn't actually guarantee a miss

Breloom @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
EVs: 252 HP/ 44 Atk/ 212 SpD
Careful Nature
-Protect
-Leech Seed
-Substitute
-Focus Punch

I present to you subseedpunch breloom. With leech seed and poison heal, you get a whopping 25% healed per turn! Special defense evs ensure that standard Starmie's surf does not break sub. Forus punch is a good STAB move behind a sub.

Metagross @ Choice Band
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 Atk/ 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Meteor Mash
- Zen Headbutt
- Explosion
- Earthquake/ Trick/ Bullet Punch/ Thunder Punch
This guy hits REALLY hard. Last move depends on coverage/ strategy preference.
Here's a calc: Choice Band 252+ Atk Metagross Explosion vs 252 HP/252 Def+ Tyrantitar: 76.8-90.8%
Great choice of mons by the way. Their typings synergize very well.

eeeeexelent, the only problem i have w/breloom is that even with exelent evs in defences, it can get one shotted anyway.
but that is an almost perfect team.
