This is the first generation where I have been legitimately saddened by the fact that you can't use box legendaries in the battle tree or VGC. I love Solgaleo's design, do you think he'll end up in OU? Mega-Metagross outclasses him as a Steel/Psychic.

Solgaleo also has a free item slot.

>Mega-Metagross outclasses him as a Steel/Psychic
No, he really doesn't actually. Being able to hold an item is what makes Solgaleo better.
>>30684255
he's pretty bulky and has a moveset that is much better than metagross
Mega Metagross doesn't get an item sure, but Tough Claws is much better than Clear Body, yeah?
>Mega-Metagross outclasses him
>no recovery
>no fire moves to bone Scizor
>no boosting moves

are you for real, my dude? solgaleo gets a shit ton of fire-type moves for coverage, which metagross solely lacks AND he gets to use z-splash
>>30684343
It''s debatable when intimidate will be super common after bank hits.
>>30684255
More HP, more bulky, access for leftover. Solgaleo's quite a bitch in uber if not for primal groudon.

What is Flare Blitz?
>>30684403
>Metagross
>Flare Blitz
Full Metal Body overrides all Mold Breaker clones, Sunsteel Strikes ignores all abilities but Shadow Shield. Hell no it's not going to be OU
>>30684403
he was referring to metagross
Solgaleo and Lunala are the best looming box legends so far, followed by Xerneas. Palkia and Dialga are the ugliest.

Yeah... I notice after replying, 2 AM and I should probably go to sleep.
>>30684255
Solgaleo is actually kind of shitty offensively, but it has far, far too much bulk and recovery to be in OU without shitting it up
>>30684255
>OU
fuck no lmao, only idiots think that this thing isn't immensely better than M-Metagross
>>30684506
>shitty offensively
I took it to Singles and fucking swept the shit out of several teams with this fucker.
His immunity to Toxic and the fact that he has 400+ Attack at max IVs and EV investment, he is fucking shit to deal with and you choice scarf the fucker, there's nothing stopping him.
>>30684963
i guess you're right. I never ran the calcs but it's Steel and Psychic moves are actually stronger than Mega Metagross', even if both are adamant, and it has enough Sp. Attack to make things like Thunderbolt for Skarmory and/or Bulky Waters viable
Anyone can post a pic of Mega Steelix in fight from Sun/Moon please?
Is it the same from XY/ORAS?
Didnt find anything yet with google.. No one has it on his cartridge yet?

The thing about Solgaleo is that he outclasses Mega-Metagross in every aspect while having utility moves.
While Metagross does get Rock Polish, you get Flame Charge with Solgaleo. Which may be like "ehish", but God forbid you KO something with it thinking they can check you, because once you get that boost from speed, everything else is just whether or not they can outspeed you or sucker punch you to death.
How useful is Z-Splash on Solgaleo?
