"Top 5 Defenders Against Metagross [GamePress]"

#PokemonGO: Link to articleMetagross is arguably the greatest attacker in Pokemon GO. Given that it can resist everything Blissey can throw at it and has effectiveness on the Dragon & Fighting-type stalling Fairy-type Pokemon, it's also arguably the greatest gym attacker in Pokemon GO. If you're looking to best deter attack (or best waste an attackers time) it may be important to make your gyms less inviting to this meta mashing monstrosity.This article is just a side result of my work on updating the defender tier list(s). I figured would be fun and interesting topic to discuss, as highlighting specialized defenders can bring some Pokemon to light that would usually be overlooked (for example, Drifblim vs Machamp).TL;DRMilotic, Steelix, Charizard, Gyarados, and EmpoleonMagnezone will be hella once it comes outThe Slowdudes and Tentacruel are runners up, but lack the lethality of the other mentioned defendersLanturn is also heavily underrated and may be the new hotness for defense over time.Typhlosion is held back d/t no Fire Spin. It doesn't matter that much in practice, but it mattered just enough for the Top 5 rankings.Keep in mind that this analysis doesn't serve as a defender tier list and is not a full comprehensive assessment of the greatest defenders in the current meta. The focus is entirely on slowing down and hurting Metagross. via /r/TheSilphRoad https://ift.tt/2QeA0Di
