It's the only move that works against Yatagaryu, and it also works on steel types and poison types, who is immune to Toxic. I think there's a choice to change Iron Head to Earthquake in some sets. Not to hit fire, but to hit electric and steel and poison. Also if your opponent knew that you have Earthquake, then it would be harder for him to send fire against you.
Just be careful as grass and ground combination won't work against grass types like Coatlith, one of the Pokemon you want to send Metalynx against.
Agreed. That's why almost every set in this guide has it as an option. But I think what you're trying to say is that EQ is a more relevant move to have than Toxic, isn't it? Yeah, maybe. However, this is yours to decide. You might prefer to have a coverage move to hit certain pokemons, or maybe you'd rather be able to inflict status conditions in your opponent. It all depends on you.
