7★ Metagross Strategy: When Pigs Fry (2, 3, or 4 players)

  • ⚠️ The main core of the strategy is at least 1 Skeledirge AND at least 1 Oinkologne (male ♂️) (or Reshiram).
    • Hisuian Goodra, Gouging Fire, and Espathra ⁠events-and-raids⁠ are optional supplemental builds; these should be selected only after at least 1 Skeledirge AND at least 1 Oinkologne♂️ are in your lobby.
    • Reshiram ⁠events-and-raids⁠ may be used alongside Skeledirge, with or without Oinkologne.
  • ⚠️ Skeledirge's ability should be Blaze.
  • ⚠️ Oinkologne's ability must be Lingering Aroma.
    • Oinkologne must be male♂️, as only male♂️ Oinkologne can have this ability.
  • ⚠️ This is NOT an OHKO strategy -- Metagross is a very difficult boss with a combination of traits which make it difficult to set up an OHKO for, especially for less than 4 players.

When Pigs Fry: Optional Supplemental Builds

  • Listed below are some builds that are helpful to have after the main core of Skeledirge + Oinkologne♂️ has been established
