⚠️ Important Note:

  • This data shows moves actually recorded as used in battles, not move adoption rates in team building.
  • Each side counts once per battle for this Pokémon and move, even after repeated uses or duplicate saved records. Both teams in a mirror battle count separately.
  • The use proportion divides recorded team uses by this Pokémon's distinct recorded team appearances under the same period, format, rating and OTS filters. Win rate divides winning team uses by recorded team uses.
  • Unused moves, unselected Pokémon and missing or misattributed move records limit comparisons. Name and form resolution may omit or mix move records. No records do not imply a 0% win rate.
  • These team outcomes do not show that a move increases the chance of winning.
  • For moveset adoption rates, refer to Smogon Stats.

Metagross Observed Statistics

Performance Metrics

Metagross has a reported usage rate of 11.89% and win rate of 49.86% in Mega Evolution Battle (Pokemon Champions) (displayed tier: C). The report covers 11/02/2026 to 11/14/2026 (UTC), with 13,343 recorded battles. 1,582 wins and 1,591 losses (3,173 recorded team appearances). Usage is recorded team appearances divided by twice the report battle count; win rate is wins divided by wins plus losses for teams containing this Pokemon. Neither metric measures individual strength. Small samples can produce extreme percentages.

Usage Trends

Usage was 10.07% in the first available period (Period 1: 2026/11/02 05:31–2026/11/06 09:20 UTC; n=6,672 team slots) and 12.50% in the last available period (Period 4: 2026/11/11 15:53–2026/11/14 10:58 UTC; n=6,670 team slots), a change of +2.43 percentage points. This endpoint comparison does not describe every intervening period or explain the cause; small samples can fluctuate substantially. Periods without sample counts are excluded. Win rate was 48.96% in the first available period (Period 1: 2026/11/02 05:31–2026/11/06 09:20 UTC; n=672 recorded appearances) and 49.40% in the last available period (Period 4: 2026/11/11 15:53–2026/11/14 10:58 UTC; n=834 recorded appearances), a change of +0.44 percentage points. This endpoint comparison does not describe every intervening period or explain the cause; small samples can fluctuate substantially. Periods without sample counts are excluded.

Rating-band Observations

Across 5 available rating bands, usage ranged from 11.37% (~R1079; n=5,508 team slots) to 13.22% (R1148~; n=5,468 team slots), a spread of 1.85 percentage points. Overall usage was 11.89%. Bands use battle-average ratings, not individual player skill. Missing bands are excluded; differences are descriptive, not evidence of statistical significance.

Recorded Moves

Among the returned moves, Iron Head has the largest recorded team-use count (577; ties may occur). Move counts refer to distinct team appearances with a recorded use by this Pokemon, counting each side once per battle. The displayed percentage divides that count by this Pokemon's distinct recorded team appearances under the same report filters. Both sides of a mirror battle count separately. This is not moveset adoption. Unused moves and missing move records cannot be distinguished here. These data do not establish which move is strongest or underused.

Teammate Observations

In the returned frequent-teammate sample: Garchomp: 52.5% wins in 1,494 recorded pair observations; Sableye: 49.5% wins in 1,274 recorded pair observations; Salamence: 50.3% wins in 768 recorded pair observations. These are team-level outcomes with both Pokemon on the roster, not a measurement of synergy. Other teammates, player selection and small samples can affect these percentages.

Opponent-team Observations

Returned higher-win-rate opponent group: Banette: 72.9% wins in 48 recorded pair observations; Alakazam: 71.7% wins in 60 recorded pair observations; Manectric: 60.9% wins in 46 recorded pair observations. Returned lower-win-rate opponent group: Gyarados: 41.8% wins in 395 recorded pair observations; Golisopod: 42.5% wins in 386 recorded pair observations; Delphox: 43.1% wins in 260 recorded pair observations. Wins refer to the team containing the focal Pokemon when the named Pokemon was on the opposing roster. They are not direct one-on-one results or proof of a counter; sample sizes and other team members matter.

Interpretation Limits

These summaries describe the collected battles within the report period. Team composition, player selection, repeated players and incomplete records can affect results. Differences do not establish causation, statistical significance or a recommended build.

The groups below summarize recorded team outcomes. Partner and opponent win rates do not measure synergy or direct one-on-one matchups. Small samples and other team members can affect results.
