Hi there. I decided to make a Mono-Steel team (Gen 6) based around Metagross. Simple as that.

Metagross

enter image description here

@ Life Orb
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Adamant Nature
- Powerup Punch
- Bullet Punch
- Pursuit
- Zen Headbutt

Powerup Punch boosts attack as well as damaging, meaning you can spam this to power up the other moves. Bullet Punch is STAB and priority, helping out loads because of his terrible speed. A lot of Pokemon will get scared after I demonstrate the sheer power of Metagross, so Pursuit is handy on this set.

Ferrothorn

@ Leftovers
Trait: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 Atk
IVs: 0 Spd
Relaxed Nature
- Leech Seed
- Stealth Rock
- Gyro Ball
- Protect

This is my favourite Ferrothorn set. You can set up Rocks while the opponent's life is being sucked away. Protect is used when Ferro maybe needs a bit more healing time, and Gyro Ball is there to stop speedsters.

Heatran

@ Choice Scarf
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd / 4 Def
Timid Nature
- Earth Power
- Fire Blast
- Flash Cannon
- Hidden Power [Ice]

Pretty simple set here; Choice Scarf will make Heatran very fast so he can sweep easier. As everyone else on the team is weak to Fire, I thought Flash Fire would be helpful by sucking up the opponent's Fire move, so then Heatran can hit back with Earth Power.

Skarmory

@ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 HP / 4 Atk
Jolly Nature
- Spikes
- Brave Bird
- Taunt
- Whirlwind

I also needed a Ground resistance/immunity, so Skarmory fits the job perfectly. I'm currently using it as my lead so I can get Spikes in as quick as possible.

Mawile

enter image description here -------> enter image description here

@ Mawilite
Trait: Intimidate / Huge Power
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Play Rough
- Iron Head
- Punishment

Prepare to die. I realized a OP Mega-Evolution was needed on the set; I looked at Mawile and fell in love. It's passable 105 Attack gets DOUBLED by Huge Power, and then don't get me started on Swords Dance. Punishment is a new tactic of mine as I am constantly getting beaten by Swords Dance users.

Excadrill

enter image description here

@ Air Balloon
Trait: Mold Breaker
EVs: 252 SDef / 176 HP / 60 Atk / 20 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Rapid Spin
- Substitute
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide

As most of my team are weak to Spikes, I needed a Rapid Spinner. Excadrill is a good bulky spinner with its brilliant HP. I also have an EdgeQuake combination and Substitute to make life easier.

Now I know Ferrothorn is a re-textured Metagross.
I know this is really old and you probably don't have the team anymore but swap heatran and excadrill's items around
