Yeah gonna have to call you out on most of that post:
I'm also not really worried about the 2% of Heracross running around with a Scarf tbh since Salamence sets up for free on them anyway.
And no one uses Life Orb + Flamethrower on Hydreigon.
I sort of agree with them being fine teammates, but those are really the only two you're bringing with Metagross, Ferrothorn is never getting picked with it and Porygon2 is questionable. I think we'd have a lot of trouble breaking through Blaziken / Zapdos / Ferrothorn cores tbhIt does need a lot of support, but like I said earlier Rotom-H and Azumarill are fantastic support for it and we already settled on those. lol.
this might just be poor wording on your part, but Mega Metagross and Mega Salamence can literally never be "partners" due to us only being able to bring one of them. They do not work together apart from team preview mindgames, perhaps deterring the use of Heracross (even though Heatran + Cresselia still pressure both Salamence and Metagross enough to be able to still use Heracross imo).Yeah, it wants Hydreigon as a partner too but Mence is by far the next best choice. We're better off against Heracross with MegaMence + MegaGross too and that was very much a need. Hydra loses to Scarf Heracross in almost any scenario (SR + Fire Blast Scarf Hydra, only way you win) and Mega Heracross can stomach a LO Flamethrower with a tad of bulk. Even uninvested it's a 31% chance to KO.

Ferrothorn is literally our Sylveon / Gardevoir check. Why do we want a second Steel-type to do that? You also forgot that Rotom-H beats Togekiss.Metagross gives no fuck about what set + coverage it is; it wins. Also adds an extra Fairy check since Rotom-H simply does not counter Fairy types at all, aside from Mawile/Klefki.
Our Rotom does not fair well at all against Heatran, all we have is a weak Volt Switch which means we have to keep bringing Rotom in to do damage, which risks copping a Toxic or Magmar Storm on the switch. In the long run, Heatran wins. The Specs sets are even worse since we're 2HKOed by both Magmar Storm and Overheat, so not exactly "immune" by any means.Rotom-H would actually be my go-to for Heatran. Immune to its life and can spam Volt Switch / Thunderbolt all day. If you do Trick it a Scarf, intended or otherwise, Azumarill clobbers it and Mence gets a free switch / setup.
I can't believe how many times I've explained that Mega Gengar is not a threat. It's the reason we're using SpD Salamence in the first place.Honestly, Mega Gengar is more of a threat than Heatran imo.
