Deck Primer

This deck doesn't require as much of an explanation. Set up Metagross, Klinklang and Scizor with Genesect and make Metagross as tanky as possible. When it goes low on HP you can use switch onto the next one or rely on Scizor as a very strong attacker.

It's not fully refined. I've considered using vitality band to make OHKOs on mons like Fezandpiti/Ogerpon possible or adding Steven's Skarmory to finish them off later. It's usually quite consistent, but please share your thoughts.

I'm gonna try this out this week at local play but I'm tempted to swap out Scizor for Scizor EX (TEF). Seems like it lets Scizor pack a little more punch if you're behind. 

I could be under thinking about many "Abilities" get into play though.

razorokk I'm thrilled to hear that. I would suggest swapping out the leftovers for vitality bands since that will get you a LOT more value. Since this list is a little old you might consider putting in a few copies of Lillie's Determination and take out Researches and/or Ionos for them. Apart from that I still think this list is viable albeit Iron Defenders could also be incorporated in this list. I might upload an updated version. Good luck!
