I want to get a bulky metagross and was wondering if these things sounded to right to perfect it.

move set:explosion, meteor mash, light screen, iron defence

Ev spread: hp 252 sp def 252

Nature: impish

try to get 31 def sp atk and hp iv

Get rid of explosion and give it some kind of stalling move like Toxic. There's no reason to build up your defenses and then just explode, especially with no EV's invested in Attack. I don't really like Iron Defense either. Replace it with something like Protect (if you're going with Toxic).

130 base defense is not bad, but I don't really see any point in using this over someone like Skarmory.

Why a BulkyGoss? Go with a Tank or a AgiliGross. With Max Speed and even after ONE Agility Metagross will be fast enough to sweep some teams. Imo there really isn't a point to a "bulky" gross.

Dual Screen Metagross?

And you get Walled by Steel types, even with toxic, so replace either explosion or Meteor mash for Eartquake or something.

I guess I could see the merit if you want to catch people off guard. I certainly know that if someone switched in their Bulky Water, thinking they were going to wall you, and they got Toxic spat all over them, they'd be mighty pissed.
