Anyone have any good ideas for using base Metagross effectively in doubles?

>tfw I did this too, and got my Shiny Beldum in under 24 hours with no charm.
But fuck that I kept that Beldum and used it on my AS team. Can't wait to Hyper Train it in Sun and use it on the Free ladder.

I'm not sure how regular works out over mega though. There is always the fact it has Clear Body while you can use another Mega, and I guess you can use Assault Vest Metagross in singles.

The same almost happen with me. I thought shiny Metagross look really cool so I decide to breed one and I went through some egg and them the ORAS event Beldum was announced.

>>28041826
How would that show that it wasn't from the event? I'm pretty sure you got beldum from it not metagross.

>>28040857
If that were to happen I'd be perfectly okay with just genning a shiny poochyena in

>>28042701
>how would still having the untouched event Beldum show people that your legitimate one isn't the event one
Think before you post.

>>28042833
You could just have more than one cart. The fact the one is from gen 5 should be enough anyway.

>>28042900
>You could just have more than one cart.
It's pretty obvious that given the situation I don't.

>tfw catch shiny gyarados in Platinum before HGSS are announced

This is why I hate event shinies.

>>28042990
Red Gyarados was around in the original GSC.

>>28044008
Yeah, but you couldn't transfer it up, so a shiny gyarados was a big deal. Then HGSS came and literally anyone and everyone has one.
